What Happens at a Selections Appointment?
INTRO
If you’ve been saving kitchens at midnight, screenshotting bathrooms and wondering whether you really need an opinion on grout colour, good news.
This is where it all starts to come together.
Your Somerset selections appointment is about taking the home you’ve chosen and refining the details that make it feel like yours. And no, you don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want. That’s kind of the point.
SELECTIONS
So, what are we actually choosing?
You’ll work with an experienced interior designer across four areas: interiors, exterior, joinery and electrical selections.
Some decisions are about how your home looks. Others are about how it works. Your kitchen. Your flooring. Your exterior finishes. Your lighting. The joinery that means everything actually has somewhere to go.
There are options to consider, of course. Somerset’s selections include different finishes and upgrade choices across flooring, stone, cabinetry, bathrooms, electrical and more. But you’re not being handed a catalogue and wished good luck.
We’ve already done some of the thinking
This is where Somerset does things a little differently.
You start with selections and combinations that have already been considered to work together, then refine from there with guidance from your interior designer.
A starting point, not a limitation.
It means you still have a say in how your home comes together, without needing to make every possible decision from scratch. That’s central to the Somerset approach: guided personalisation without unnecessary complexity.
What should you bring?
Bring the saved images. The screenshots. The Pinterest board that’s somehow become 300 pins long. More importantly, think about how you want your home to feel.
Light and relaxed? Warm and layered? Clean and contemporary?
You don’t need to know the name of every finish or have every room mapped out before you arrive. Your inspiration gives us somewhere to start. From there, the appointment is about bringing the different pieces together.
And yes, there are upgrades
Because sometimes the right answer is more drawers.
Somerset has additional options across areas including kitchen joinery, islands, laundry storage, vanities and electrical selections, giving you ways to refine the home where it matters to you.
The aim isn’t to add more for the sake of it.
It’s to make considered decisions about what will make a difference to the way you live.
The best part?
You walk in with ideas. You walk out with direction.
Your selections then form part of the next stages of the pre-site process, with pricing commencing after the appointment.
So bring the Pinterest board. Bring the screenshots. Bring the strong opinions about kitchen benchtops. You don’t need to bring all the answers. That’s what we’re here for.
