OUR SERVICES

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

This is the first step in the interior design process and the fun part of our job where we get to be creative. This is where Dandy Lion shines – through innovative ideas and beautiful visuals.

We put together sketch plans, renderings and visuals to help the client envision their potential space. Colour palettes and finishes to furniture and interior features all form part of this stage before we move to design execution.

PROJECT PLANNING

This is a key service where we provide an additional level of security for our clients ensuring that the interior design elements and selections we put together are installed and implemented correctly.

We provide a project timeline and we work closely with all contractors to make sure everyone understands the design intent and provide advisement on site as needed.

COUNCIL SUBMISSIONS

Our experienced plan runners facilitates all formal documentation of all design documentation, plans and submissions to council. They have good relationships with the personnel within various municipalities and regular visits to these municipalities are done. They fully understand the specific procedures and council requirements of each municipality.

This makes for each plan to pass through much faster, as it does not contain any irrelevant information. We assist in all regulatory aspects including plan approvals, health certificates, construction certificates, occupation certificates and liquor licenses to ensure the quickest turnaround time.

SOURCING

At Dandy Lion, sourcing is our strength. Once the concept is complete and moodboard is approved, we then get quotations from competitive suppliers and negotiate the best pricing the industry has to offer.

We source quality, from furniture, floor finishes to soft décor items. We ensure that all items are best suited to the look and feel of the space to enhance it to desired outcome.

INSTALLATIONS

Installation Days are full of moving parts, complex details and tight deadlines. We have a flexibile, fierce & dilligent team that work hard to execute a seamless installatioin in its simplicity.

Like all designers we know all too well that no matter how organised the project there are always last minute mishaps but we are experienced to handle those hurdles.

MANUFACTURING & FABRICATION

At Dandy Lion Interiors, our ideas don’t stop at design — they come to life through precision craftsmanship.
Our sister company handles all our fabrication and manufacturing, giving us complete control over quality, timelines, and customisation. From custom-built furniture and joinery to full bespoke retail fitouts, every element is crafted with intention, care, and attention to detail and an emphasis on quality
