Design Blog – What Started It? People have been drawn towards nature to curate their homes that are both functional and decorative, from wooden chests for storage to the sustained beauty of a hand-woven rug. The warmth of a home is distinguished through its mobilization of all the elements of nature besides a happy and loving environment for all to thrive on. Have you ever tried hugging a tree? When was the last time you walked bare-foot on sand? Did you plan that expensive holiday to relax in the beauty of the forest or hear the breaking of the waves? Has the redundancy of a 9-5 set your body to mechanically endure stress but your mind is screaming for a VACATION. Oh yes! We all find that peace and solace in nature. We need our mind and body to rejuvenate, to bring us back to the center of our physical being and nothing can do a bang up job better than nature. For most “Home is where the Heart is” but I say unto thee “your Heart is Where your Home is: contestably What your home is” Which brings me to ask you if you do go home to relax or just continue to amalgamate with your “home duties” thereby coercing you into running away to curl yourself in natures lap. Before you go looking to connect with nature (which we must all do from time to time) why not come home to curl up on your couch and relish the beauty of your own home. We want to help you experience this every day! This want has been driven from my own experience after long hours of work and a busy home schedule which helps in understanding what you truly deserve even if you still trying to figure out what it is you need. Explore your love for art, culture, nature, color therapy and creativity through us!

ABOUT THE DESIGNER My love for design started when I was 12. As a child I always knew what drove me to focus, be passionate about and what made my heart sing. It was anything and everything to do with designing be it clothes, jewellery, balconies, homes, furniture and minds. It always came with a cosmic passion and I did not know anything beyond. So I kept sketching and putting all my ideas on paper which I still have to this date. I pull them out once in a while to remind myself what I was destined to do and I’m glad I didn’t stray away from the path I was meant to follow. Candice Singh Willow and Wicker was started in 2017 and to this date there has been no looking back. I am a hands on designer that has learnt everything I know from spending a lot of time on the ground, evaluating, providing and receiving suggestions from my team.Yes, getting your hands dirty is the only way to learn and ensure the best outcomes. I am a “Certified carpenter” and work together with my team if a project needs extra hands. It helps me in inspect and examine the finer details. Building trust with every client is of key importance as it helps in the seamless execution and project delivery. I persevere till I know that a client is beyond satisfied and happy with the outcome of his/her vision. Our Promise - When providing a solution that requires creativity and passion to architect an idea or a dream, we do it with understanding , thoughtfulness and keen attention to detail. Understanding a need is not just about what is a desired outcome but by veraciously moulding a concept that is as an extension of oneself.
OUR PROCESS Discovery Meeting Each project starts with a no-charge initial meeting with the client at the property. This is an initial opportunity to discuss the project in detail and take a brief. During the Discovery Meeting we learn about the client’s personality, their style their individual lifestyle, tastes and aspirations – in essence, to learn what is important to them in creating the new scheme so that the finished project is a true reflection of them. This is also an opportunity to ensure that any issues are identified and discussed before work commences on the project. We’d also discuss outline budgets and time scale so that the project can progress smoothly. This meeting is followed up with a written proposal to the client. We believe that it is very important to engage and work together with our clients as the project evolves.
Concept Design In response to the clients brief a concept scheme is created for discussion. This will be presented in the form of draft layouts showing space utilization, any structural modifications and furniture layouts. We fabricate mood boards to demonstrate color schemes, wall and window treatments, theme references, along with options for fabrics and finishes. At this stage we produce a draft Cost Plan which includes provisional sums of any work along with an outline program. Detail Design Once all elements in the concept design are agreed with the client, the project moves to the Detail Design and Specification stage. Every element of the scheme is designed and specified for the client to sign-off. Samples are presented for discussion and client approval. We can arrange for the client to see / feel all specified items as relevant. Service Contract To process a formal hand-shake on the commitment towards the project, a service contract will be shared with all specifications of the design on a ₹100/- Stamp Paper , which is perpetual and will ensure quality execution and avoid any ambiguity between client and Willow and Wicker. Procurement Once the Detail Design has been agreed a detailed cost plan is presented and shared. This sets out the cost of each individual element per room and a summarized project total. To give our clients the best value within the procurement service, all items are supplied with the benefit of discounts as available. A Procurement is charged to manage every stage of the procurement process from price / delivery negotiation through production / delivery / quality management, in order to maintain program and to deal with any post delivery issues that may arise
Project Management The overall program is drawn up and agreed with the client. Progress of the project is managed and monitored on site on a regular basis and any issues arising in the course of the project are resolved in a timely and pragmatic manner in order to maintain quality and program. Communication during all stages is key and we provide regular progress updates. Any snagging issues are resolved quickly and efficiently to the client's satisfaction. Dressing and Handover With the hard fixtures completed we arrange for a full site clean before installing window treatments and carpets. In addition, we co-ordinate the delivery and positioning of all furniture and furnishings. We often curate artwork and home accessories at this stage as well, to create the finished look. We can dress your new home with your existing treasures, to give room your own personal stamp. Our Motto To assure you complete transparency and value for money while offering you the best in creativity and functionality.
