FAQs
What does your design service include?
Services range from a focused consultation to complete design and delivery. A consultation provides professional guidance on the areas of your home you want enhancing or for direction on large projects.
A Design Map develops the agreed scheme and includes all elements required to pull the design together from layout and colour to bespoke furniture or joinery.
Sourcing, procurement, trade coordination and installation are provided as part of the full service, Design Delivery.
The level of support depends on the scale of the project, the decisions involved, and how much help you require to bring the design together.
How much does an interior designer cost?
The cost depends on the level of support needed. Consultations are a fixed fee whereas Design projects are quoted individually. The project scope, number of rooms, complexity, and level of involvement required are factored into each project.
Pricing is always agreed clearly before work begins.
What happens after a consultation?
Following the consultation, you can use the advice and recommendations to move forward independently. If you would like further design support, I prepare a proposal outlining the recommended options, scope and fee. There is no obligation to continue beyond the consultation.
Can you work with my existing furniture?
Yes. Existing furniture, personal objects, and inherited pieces are often where the direction of a home begins.
I do not believe a home needs to be started from scratch. The work is often about understanding what should stay, what needs to change, and how the old and new can sit together with more clarity.
How long does the design process take?
A single-room Design Map generally takes four to six weeks from the planning meeting, provided the required information, quotes and feedback are received in a timely manner. Larger renovations, new builds and full-service projects follow the wider project programme and may continue over several months to over a year.
An estimated design schedule is agreed before work begins.
