Some clients want the whole thing handled.
Not just advice. Not just sourcing. The complete process – from the first conversation about what the space needs to be, through every material and furniture decision, to the day it is finished and they walk in.
Philip works with a small number of private clients each year on exactly that basis. If you are considering a serious project and want it handled properly, this is where that conversation starts.
What is included
Each project is different, but the full service typically covers:
- Initial consultation and brief development
- Spatial planning and layout
- Material and finish specification
- Furniture and lighting selection
- Budget structuring and phasing
- Full procurement through the Laffan & Laffan supplier network
- Delivery coordination and white glove installation
Design and delivery are handled together, not separately. The scheme Philip designs is the scheme that gets sourced, stored and installed. Nothing gets lost in translation between the creative and operational sides.
How it works
Philip works with clients who want strong direction. Not clients who need convincing on every decision – clients who want someone to take the brief seriously and deliver something resolved.
Projects are structured in clear phases so you always know where things stand and nothing is committed without alignment. The Laffan & Laffan operational framework – sourcing, warehousing, delivery, installation – runs behind the design work throughout.
Access to 50+ European suppliers means the sourcing is not limited to what is available in Irish showrooms. Trade pricing, real supplier relationships, and the ability to specify pieces that are genuinely hard to find elsewhere.
What this costs
Project fees depend on scope, scale and the level of procurement involved. Philip will be direct with you about this from the first conversation.
As a guide, full private client projects typically start from €8,000, inclusive of design, project management and procurement coordination. Product costs are itemised and agreed separately before anything is ordered. There are no hidden charges.
Is this right for you
This service works best for clients who are ready to commit to a finished result – and who want someone they can trust to get them there without unnecessary back-and-forth. It suits:
- Busy professionals who want a finished result without managing the process themselves
- Whole-home or whole-apartment projects where coherence and quality matter
- New builds and renovations where design decisions need to happen in the right order
- Clients who value honest advice over flattery
Where to start
Most private client projects begin with a Design Audit – a two-hour in-home session where Philip reviews the space and provides a written summary of priorities, direction and next steps. The audit costs €450 and stands alone as a useful piece of work. It also gives you – and Philip -a clear picture of whether a full project together makes sense.
If you already know what you want to do and want to discuss scope directly, you can skip the audit and enquire below.
