I offer a flexible approach to design consultancy…
…where clients are able to choose the level of assistance they need, according to their time constraints and budget. I’ve taken a slightly unusual approach to interior design, and charge “by the hour” so that there is no commitment to a significant up-front consultation fee. I offer two different approaches:
1. Client Consultation only (charged per hour)
2. Client Consultation and Project Co-ordination.
Client Consultation
My interior consultations take place in your own home, where I will guide you through the aspects of design that are relevant to you.
- Room layout
- Flooring
- Colours, wallpaper and paint
- Furniture
- Lighting
- Extensions
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Garden Design and planting
- Artwork
- Soft furnishings
- Accessories
- Decluttering
- Styling the finished room
- Reorganising a house on the property market for a quick sale.
I will analyse your lifestyle, budget and time constraints. When we have discussed the look and mood you would like to achieve, several solutions and images will be put forward for your consideration and I will help you to decide on your preferred scheme. I can develop a floor and lighting plan if it is required. Some of my clients prefer me to come up with a look that they can then implement themselves. I will make recommendations and help source furniture. I can recommend my excellent team of local tradesmen for your job, then will return to style the room once any building work and decorating has been completed.
Client Consultation with Project Co-ordination
Following on from the consultation and design proposals, I also offer a project co-ordination service, where we will bring the designs to fruition. My recommended craftsmen, suppliers and subcontractors ensure that each stage of the project is carried out to the highest possible standard and that schedules are strictly adhered to. Please contact me if you would like further information on this service.
Costs Fees / Prices
I charge a fixed hourly or day consultation rate, agreed prior to my visit. I do not charge a markup fee on furniture or other recommended products.
Many of my clients are young professionals or families with children and I will happily work with whatever budget you have set for each room. Please give me a call, and we can chat about how I can assist you to achieve the look you want for your home.
