Consultation FAQs

The consultation typically lasts around 90 minutes and is usually held one-to-one and in person. For clients based further afield, or where appropriate, consultations can also take place via video.

During the meeting, we’ll review your project and any other areas you’d like to discuss, talk through the overall scope of the work, and consider your family lifestyle and how you use the space. We’ll also discuss functionality, budget, aesthetics and timeline.

Following our meeting, we’ll prepare an inspiration and sourcing board. This will include ideas for layout, decorative pieces, fittings and hard finishes, including colours and materials that I feel would work well for you. I’ll also prepare an estimate of my design fees and give you a tentative figure of the overall project spend.

The cost for the consultation is £350 plus VAT.

This helps us understand your space, your needs and what you’d like to get out of the session, so we can make the consultation as focused and useful as possible.

You can share photos, videos, floor plans or measurements ahead of time, and you’re also welcome to walk us through the space live during the call using your phone or laptop camera.

If we feel more time would be helpful, we can either book an additional consultation or discuss moving into one of our design services. There’s no pressure. We’ll always guide you towards what makes the most sense for your project.

We’ll share considered ideas and references that suit your space, lifestyle and budget covering furniture, lighting, finishes and styling elements.
