Tips to to prepare for your Gallery appointment
To make the most of your appointment, preparation is key. Your pre-selections will play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and productive briefing with your Interior Designer
Set aside the full day
We recommend setting aside the full day for your appointment. In Melbourne, appointments run from 8.30am to 4.30pm. In Queensland, South Australia and for regional customers, appointments start at 9am. Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to settle in and start on time. As it’s a full-day appointment, we recommend making childcare arrangements where possible.
Bring your two decision-makers
This is the stage where your colours, flooring, tiles, and electrical selections all come together so it’s important that everyone on the contract attends
Keep your budget in mind
With an estimate from your Tender appointment, you’ll have a clear idea of your investment. Our consultants will help you explore options that align with your vision while staying within your budget.
Your floorplan and facade are already confirmed
Your floorplan and facade are already confirmed at this stage. The appointment focuses on selecting your internal and external finishes. While changes to the floorplan or facade can’t be made, fittings and fixtures can still be adjusted.

Do your homework
To get the most out of your appointment, complete the design questionnaire and review the selections guide in advance. If you already have a vision for certain elements, short-listing your preferred inclusions ahead of time will help streamline the process. You may also find it helpful to explore the inclusions guide, inspiration guide and our website for ideas. Creating a Pinterest board can be a great way to refine your style and gather inspiration, which you can share with your Interior Design Consultant during your appointment.
If you’re feeling unsure or need inspiration, there’s no need to stress. Your Gallery Interior Design Consultant is there to guide you through the process, offer expert advice and help bring your vision to life, even if you’re not quite sure where to start.
