Frequently Asked Questions
What does DESAINA do?
DESAINA focuses on residential interior design, turnkey interiors, design consulting and project management consultation.
Do you design only residential projects?
Yes. Our studio is focused on homes and residential interiors.
Can you work with an existing apartment?
Yes. We can design around an existing apartment, villa or independent home while considering its architecture and constraints.
Do you provide turnkey execution?
Yes. Our turnkey service can coordinate the execution required to translate the approved design into the finished home.
Do you make custom furniture?
Custom furniture and cabinetry can be designed as part of a residential interior project.
Can I get a rough budget before starting?
Yes. Our website calculator provides a basic indicative budget using a base rate multiplied by the dimensions you enter.
How accurate is the online calculator?
It is intentionally not a final quotation. It uses limited specifications and preset base rates. Final pricing can change with finishes, hardware, design, site conditions, taxes and other specifications.
Why do you collect my details before showing the estimate?
The calculator is designed as an enquiry tool as well as a budget guide. Your details help us understand who is exploring a project and allow our team to follow up when you want to go deeper.
Can I add more than one room?
Yes. You can add multiple rooms and multiple products within each room before generating the indicative total.
Can I compare different finishes online?
The public calculator deliberately keeps the first estimate simple. Detailed finishes and variants are explored with a DESAINA designer after your initial enquiry.
Will you visit my site immediately after I use the calculator?
No automatic site visit is promised at this stage. We first get in touch and understand the requirement. The next step depends on the project.
How does the design process begin?
We begin with a conversation about your home, lifestyle, requirements, aspirations, budget and timeline.
Do you take care of measurements?
Yes, site measurements form part of the project workflow when a project progresses to the appropriate stage.
How long does an interior project take?
Every home is different. Duration depends on scope, design complexity, approvals, procurement, site conditions and execution requirements.
Can I bring my own ideas or references?
Absolutely. References are useful for understanding your taste. We then translate them into a coherent design rather than copying them literally.
Can you work with a fixed budget?
Yes. Sharing your budget early helps us make appropriate design and specification decisions.
Do you provide 3D visualisations?
Visualisation can be part of the design process where it is useful for communicating the proposed space.
How do payments work?
Payment structure depends on the scope and agreed engagement. It is documented before work begins.
