Design Consultation

Professional clarity at the very start of your project.

A Design Consultation is a paid, one-to-one session designed to give you expert guidance, clarity and direction at the early stages of your project.

It’s ideal if you’re exploring options, feeling overwhelmed by decisions, or want professional advice before committing to a larger scope of work. This service allows you to access my expertise in a focused, structured way — ensuring you move forward with confidence and avoid costly missteps.


Who this service is for

A Design Consultation is ideal if you:

  • Are at the early stages of a renovation or interior project

  • Want professional input before appointing trades or suppliers

  • Need help clarifying layouts, priorities or overall direction

  • Would like advice on finishes, colour palettes or furniture

  • Are preparing for a larger project and want guidance before commissioning design work


What to expect

During a Design Consultation, we may cover:

  • Your project goals and priorities

  • Layout considerations and spatial flow

  • Initial thoughts on finishes, colour and materials

  • High-level furniture and lighting guidance

  • Identifying risks, constraints or opportunities

  • Clear recommendations for next steps

This is a strategic advisory session, not a full design service. No drawings, specifications or procurement are included.


Consultation formats

Design Consultations are available in the following formats:

  • 90-minute video consultation

  • 90-minute on-site consultation (by arrangement)

The most appropriate option can be discussed during your discovery call.


Investment

Design Consultations are offered as a fixed-fee service.
Investment typically begins from £250, depending on format and location.

Full details will be confirmed following the discovery call.


How this fits with other services

Many clients use a Design Consultation as a starting point before progressing to:

  • Design Concierge for ongoing advisory support, or

  • Full Interior Design for a more comprehensive, hands-on service

Where appropriate, part of your consultation fee may be credited against a larger commission.


Next step

If you feel a Design Consultation would be a helpful starting point, the next step is to book a 15-minute discovery call.

This short introductory call allows us to discuss your project, confirm suitability and recommend the most appropriate way to work together.


Design advice is provided within paid services. The discovery call is intended to establish scope and next steps.
