New Home Design service at
NEPTUNE CANTERBURY
OUR HOME DESIGN SERVICE IS AN EASIER, LESS OVERWHELMING WAY TO BRING INTERIOR DESIGN
INTO YOUR HOME. YOU’LL HAVE BREADTH AND CHOICE BUT NOT A DAUNTING AMOUNT. YOU’LL
HAVE THE TIMELESS NEPTUNE LOOK, BUT WITH ROOM TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN. AND YOU’LL HAVE
ONE OF OUR DESIGNERS WITH YOU TO MAKE YOUR HOME THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE.
“Since we opened the doors to our
inspirational showroom back in July 2016,
we’ve had customers say to us – on pretty
much a daily basis – “Oh, I just love it all …
can you make my whole home like this?!”.
And with our new Home Design service, we
can now answer, emphatically, “YES!”. We
are very excited to be able to help our
customers in such a comprehensive way, and
help them create their dream homes.” – Sarah
Crichton, director & home designer, Neptune Canterbury.
“We realise that although our customers love
the way our stores look and feel, they can’t
always translate it to work in their own
home. Our home designers are trained to
adapt and tailor our products so that they
will work with your most-loved existing
pieces, to create a unique interior that makes
the most of your personal style. The service
covers the key elements of interior design:
space-planning and furniture placement,
mood and sample boards, window
treatments, floorcoverings, accessories and
home styling. We’ll even help you dress your
space once everything is delivered to your
home.” - Simon Temprell, interior design manager, Neptune.
If you’re thinking of redecorating – be it one room,
two rooms or ten – we’ve got all of the tools you’ll
need in one place, ready to create your very own
version of a Neptune home.
How it works …
1. An in-store walk and talk
It all begins with some one-on-one time with one of
our designers at Neptune Canterbury. This is where
you’ll get to talk us through your ideas, wishes and
wants. Designers Maeve & Sarah will take you
through the collections, explain how the design
service works and answer any early questions you
might have. It’ll last between 60 and 90 minutes.
2. At-home design visit
If you want to go ahead, we’ll then come to your
home to have an in-depth design session lasting
several hours. Together, we’ll go over colour palettes,
samples, textiles and layouts, and take measurements.
When we head on our way, we’ll have a crystal-clear
picture of what you want your room to be.
3. Design presentation
When your designs are ready two weeks later, we’ll
invite you back into store to present your room
design to you and make any final changes. You’ll
have a mood board, sample board, detailed quote
and to-scale sketch at the end of it to help you see
your new room coming into shape. If you’re happy,
we can place the order and get the wheels in motion.
If you want to take your mood board home to mull
things over, just come back to us when you’re ready.
4. The big day
Look out for our signature Neptune grey van – we’ll
be on our way to bring everything in one go rather
than delivering in multiple batches. Your designer
will be there too, and our team will unwrap, assemble,
and position your furniture, then take away all the
packaging for recycling. Your designer will style
your room for you so that, when you come in, all
there’s left for you to do is sit back and enjoy it.
The whole service – from concepts to the home visit
and final room design – costs £300 for the first room
and £200 for each room after that. We’ll take this
off your final payment when you spend over £5,000
on each room though.
