Our Process
How we transform a design vision into beautiful, personalised reality.
Initial Consultation
After the initial conversation, we'll schedule an in-person meeting to discuss the project details and timescales, take a brief, survey the space, and take photos. We will then send a cost proposal. Following our initial discussion, we will arrange an in person meeting to discuss the project specifics and timelines, conduct a brief survey of the site, and take necessary photographs. Subsequently, we will provide you with a comprehensive cost proposal.
Digital Proposal
We will put together a design presentation illustrating the scheme, complete with a detailed GA plan showing furniture layout, feature lighting placements, and decorative feature wall positions. Additionally, digital mood boards will be designed for each area along with furnishings and finishes specifications.
Proposal Review
We will schedule a follow up meeting to discuss the proposal. From here we will make minor design amendments and discuss the next steps.
Design Proposal
Once the proposal is approved, we will proceed to produce physical sample boards for each area, showcasing design finishes, and if necessary, generate visuals of the spaces. Following this, we will schedule an in-person meeting to thoroughly review the project with the objective of finalising and signing off on the design.
Specification Drawings
Produce detailed design drawings in CAD including lighting and electrical layouts, decoration and flooring plans, furniture specifications, and relevant joinery details. We will also create detailed specification sheets of the lighting and furniture required.
Leasing with suppliers and trades
We will liaise with suppliers to provide costs and timescales for all items required to complete the scheme.
Project Management
We can fully manage your project. This would include managing the relevant trades people and ensuring the project runs smoothly from start to finish.

The Faces Behind Orka Interiör.
Kim Crowther
Design Director
I have worked in the commercial interior design sector for over 15 years and in that time, I have worked with some fantastic clients on some amazing and interesting projects. Orka Interiör, established in 2020, was born from a requirement to start creating interiors that were truly close to the types of design that I love. I have a passion for Scandinavian design, a movement that is characterised by simplicity, minimalism, and functionality, without sacrificing beauty. I also love furniture of any type, but really enjoy vintage and mid-century pieces. From a back street boozer, cocktail bar, studio apartment to a 20-bedroom manor house, we love transforming spaces and sharing our knowledge.
Abigail Smith
Creative Director
I have a passion for design and style in all forms and I truly believe that the aesthetics of an interior can determine its credibility. Having always had an interest in the arts I studied art and design, specialising in surface texture, and then moved onto study Commercial Interior Design at the University of Huddersfield. Since then, I have had the privilege of designing projects in the hospitality, care, retail, and residential sectors and can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every project equally. Setting up a design practice was the easiest decision; we are lucky enough to help create beautiful interiors for our clients daily.
The Team Behind Each Project
Orka Interiör have a flexible fit-out team that grows around each project. Every space has its own needs, scale and pace, so we bring in people whose skills suit the brief and keep the work steady from first ideas to installation.
Our team covers full commercial fit-outs and domestic interior design projects of all sizes, supported by tradespeople, upholsterers, and kitchen fitters. When needed, we also bring in specialist cabinet makers, smart-home & acoustic specialists, specialist joiners and electricians, and other trade experts. Our flexibility and diversity allow us to solve problems quickly and keep each element of the design project moving in the right direction.
Throughout the process, we guide the workflow and keep everyone aligned with the vision. By shaping the team to the project rather than following a fixed route, we stay responsive, economical and keep your project running smoothly
