Lidstein
The short answer: Professional interior design plans layout, materials, lighting and furnishing as one concept — before building starts. That prevents the most expensive mistakes of a renovation: sockets on the wrong wall, lighting without a plan, furniture that does not fit. At Lidstein, interior designer Ms Timarac designs flats, houses and hotels; furniture, wardrobes and kitchens come in manufacturer quality straight from the works.
How does interior design differ from furnishing?
Furnishing begins when the rooms are finished. Interior design begins while they are still on paper. The difference is measurable in practice: knowing the furniture before the electrical layout puts sockets, switches and light outlets where they are actually needed. Choosing the floor covering before the screed means build-up heights and thresholds are planned cleanly. Fixing the kitchen before first fix spares you chasing into brand-new walls — which is why design planning belongs at the start of every full renovation, not at its end.
What does Ms Timarac actually do at Lidstein?
- Spatial concept: Refining the floor plan with non-load-bearing walls, sight lines, storage and daylight.
- Material and colour concept: Floors, surfaces, tiles, textiles — coordinated as a whole instead of one-off decisions made under showroom pressure.
- Lighting design: Ambient, task and accent lighting, planned before the electrical installation.
- Furnishing and built-ins: Made-to-measure wardrobes, solid wood furniture and kitchens — straight from the manufacturer, measured to fit and installed.
- Commercial design for hotels: Room lines, lobby and dining areas — robust in daily operation and recognisable in character, for flats, houses and hotels alike.
Why furniture and kitchens straight from the manufacturer?
In conventional retail, one or two trading stages sit between the factory and your living room — each with its own margin. Lidstein sources furniture, wardrobes and kitchens directly from the manufacturer:
| Criterion | Furniture store | Straight from the manufacturer |
|---|---|---|
| Price build-up | Factory + trading stages | Factory + installation |
| Quality | Catalogue range | Manufacturer quality, e.g. solid wood |
| Fit | Standard dimensions | Measured on site |
| Responsibility | Separate from the building site | One contact, together with the renovation |
A simplified comparison; in any given case the model, manufacturer and scope decide.
How does working together run?
- First conversation: Property, use, style direction, budget range.
- Concept: Spatial, material, lighting and furnishing plan, with samples.
- Coordination with site management: Design decisions feed into the electrical, flooring and fit-out planning.
- Delivery: Trades and manufacturer orders in one chain of dates.
- Finish: Installation, styling, handover.
A room is well planned when you cannot see the planning — only that everything is simply where it belongs.
Frequently asked questions
Is interior design worthwhile for small flats too?
Especially there: in a small area, planning decides storage, light and spatial effect. Wrong purchases usually cost more than the planning does.
Can I commission interior design without a renovation?
Yes — concept, furnishing and kitchens are available separately. The greatest effect comes from combining them with a renovation, because the design then feeds into the building plan.
Which furniture does Lidstein supply straight from the manufacturer?
Solid wood furniture, wardrobes (including made-to-measure) and complete kitchens — including measuring, delivery and installation.
Does Lidstein design hotels as well?
Yes. Alongside flats and houses, Ms Timarac also designs hotels — on request together with the renovation and site management from a single source.
