Gallerie B Interiors Design Process

How We Work

Consultation

Every project begins with an initial phone conversation, followed by an in-home consultation if suitable. This stage gathers details about style, timeline, scope and budget, and helps define the proposed services and deliverables. It ensures clarity before design work begins.

Design Development and Presentation

Depending on the project, Belinda refines existing plans or develops new layouts. She reviews opportunities to improve storage, circulation, and design. Mood boards, sample materials and images help clients see the direction clearly and understand how each room connects to the broader scheme.

Design Detail and Implementation

Belinda collaborates closely with clients to confirm cabinetry materials, flooring, lighting, colours and fittings. A cohesive document of selections is prepared so both the client and builder have clear information. This stage reduces uncertainty and ensures all decisions align with the intended style.

Interior Decorating

Furniture planning and decorating concepts are often developed alongside the construction or renovation process, allowing each space to evolve thoughtfully. All pieces are quoted for transparency before procurement begins. Decoration and styling bring everything together, creating rooms that clients look forward to coming home to.

FAQs

Clients often have similar questions when planning a renovation, new build or decorating project. These answers outline our services, process and how we work, helping you understand what to expect before getting started.

Do you only work on Hamptons-style homes?

Belinda’s personal home reflects a Hamptons influence, but her studio focuses on delivering a fresh, classic contemporary approach suited to many styles. Much of our work is in period and heritage homes, where we respect existing features while ensuring the design supports modern living. We select quality materials within your budget and guide you toward a home that feels cohesive, functional and aligned with your personal style.

How much do your services cost?

Each project is unique, so fees are quoted individually. During the initial consultation, we gather details about your scope, timeline and the level of support you need. From there, we prepare a clear Scope of Works and Estimate of Fees so you understand exactly what is included before moving forward.

What areas do you service?

Gallerie B is based in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, and we work with clients across Melbourne and Australia. Travel fees may apply to regional or interstate projects, which will be discussed during the initial call.

What is the typical timeline for a design project?

Timelines depend on the size of the project. Renovations and new builds typically involve several stages of design development, selection, and documentation, whereas decorating projects are often shorter. During the consultation, we outline a clear schedule so you know what to expect at every step.

Can you work with my existing builder or architect?

Yes. Belinda collaborates regularly with architects, draftspeople and builders. Clear drawings, selections, and documentation help ensure your design vision is accurately carried through on site. If you are still choosing a builder, we can also recommend trusted contacts.

Do you handle furniture procurement?

Yes. We manage the entire procurement process, including quoting, ordering, tracking and installation. Clients gain access to our curated showroom range and trade-only suppliers, offering high-quality options not available at retail level. We also design custom furniture to suit your room dimensions, storage needs and style. Where suitable, we can arrange upholstery or refinishing to give your existing pieces a fresh, updated life.

The Gallerie B Interiors Showroom

The Gallerie B Interiors studio and showroom in Canterbury gives clients access to a curated collection of furnishings, lighting, homewares and materials displayed in styled settings. It supports the design process by allowing clients to compare finishes, see pieces in context and explore quality products suited to family homes, heritage properties and contemporary builds.
