Building an Independent Interior Design Venture

Building an Independent Interior Design Venture

Project Background & Objective

A reputed developer in the mid-premium apartment segment partnered with AND to conceptualize and build an independent interior design business. With a strong understanding of homeowner preferences, particularly the need for aesthetic, move-in-ready spaces, the vision was to offer a new service aligned with the parent brand's values, yet designed to operate as a standalone venture. Against this backdrop, the client approached AND to help them:

  • Tap into New Revenue Streams: Expand beyond real estate by entering the mid-premium interiors market, addressing an underserved but growing customer segment

  • Leverage Customer Insights: Utilize existing knowledge of homeowner preferences to design a service offering that resonates with aspirational buyers seeking convenience and quality

Our Approach

Our comprehensive approach included:

  • Comprehensive Market Understanding: We began by aligning with the client's strategic vision and exploring the mid-premium interiors market through in-depth secondary research and targeted primary stakeholder interviews. This was paired with a structured competitor analysis to identify unmet needs and validate white spaces beyond surface-level assumptions.

  • Opportunity Prioritization & Customer Journey Mapping: We evaluated growth opportunities through a data-backed framework that balanced customer desirability, operational feasibility, and strategic fit.

  • Phased Execution Model for Scalable Growth: We developed a phased go-to-market model centred around partner enablement and capital efficiency.
