Interior Design Consultation
Have you ever got stuck trying to start a project; you know the room needs decorating but you don’t know where to start and importantly you don’t want to make a mistake.
Maybe it’s a bigger project like a small extension or a new bathroom and you’re worried about whether you are doing the right thing and how much it’s all going to cost.
If this sounds familiar then a consultation is perfect for you.
A consultation with me gives you the professional clarity you’ve been looking for — without the cost or commitment of a full design project.
What you’ll gain from a consultation
Clients tell me the biggest thing they get from a consultation isn’t just the practical advice — it’s the feeling that someone finally gets it. That they can relax a little. That this project doesn’t have to dominate every conversation over dinner.
You feel confident making decisions — rather than second-guessing everything
You stop worrying you’re going to make a mistake you can’t undo
You’ll have a much better understanding of your budget
You have a clear plan to share with your builder, architect or partner
The project feels exciting again, not just stressful
You know your home will actually look and feel like you — not like a showroom
What happens after your consultation
Many clients use a consultation to get the clarity they need and then move forward with confidence on their own. Others choose to continue working with me through a fuller design service.
Either way, there’s no pressure. We’ll have a proper conversation at the end of the session about what makes sense for your project.
One Hour Consultation
Best for: one or two rooms, a specific challenge, or if you’re not sure where to start
Perfect if you want straightforward, expert guidance on:
Furniture layouts and room flow that actually make sense for your family
Colour palettes and finishes — helping you pick with confidence
Lighting ideas that create warmth and atmosphere
Styling and soft furnishings that bring personality without clutter
Making a space feel more cohesive and considered
You’ll leave with clear, practical direction — and a much stronger sense of what to do next.
Two Hour Consultation
Best for: multiple rooms, renovation or extension projects, or if you want to go deeper
This is the one to book if you’re at the planning stage and want to make the right decisions before you commit to anything. We can cover:
Budgeting considerations and analysis
Kitchen and bathroom layouts — getting the bones right
Extension and open-plan living considerations
Spatial planning and how to make rooms work harder
Material and finish selections that hold together throughout the house
Early-stage renovation guidance so you avoid the costly mistakes
How to brief your architect, builder or kitchen company with confidence
