Interior design process

Our Services

Three ways to work
with Solace Dept

Each service is designed to meet you at a different point in the process — whether you're just beginning to think or ready to build.

Our Approach

A method built around your space, not our workflow

Conversation first

Every project begins with genuine listening. We don't arrive with a mood board — we arrive with questions.

Spatial before decorative

We consider how a room works before we consider how it looks. A well-proportioned room is more forgiving than a well-styled one.

Involved through completion

We remain present from the first visit to the final styling. The quality of an outcome depends on who's watching during the middle.

Across All Services

Standards that apply to every project

Privacy & Confidentiality

All project information, images, and plans are kept private. Nothing is shared without your written consent.

Written Agreements

Scope, deliverables, fees, and timelines set in writing before work begins. No ambiguity at the start, fewer disagreements later.

Responsive Communication

One working day response time during the project. You're never waiting on us.

PDPA Compliance

Personal data handled per Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010. Data retained only for project duration.

Considered Sourcing

We favour locally produced materials where quality permits and ask questions about production when sourcing further afield.

Quality Oversight

For implementation projects, we visit the site at key stages and document progress. Issues are raised early, not at handover.
