FAQ
I'M WORRIED AN INTERIOR DESIGNER IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE...
This is an understandable worry, so rest assured our costing is fully transparent and all fees will be clearly discussed before you commit to a project. We offer services to suit all budgets and can ensure this is in line with your overall budget. We might even be able to save you from making some expensive mistakes, but most importantly we will save you time! With years of proven customer satisfaction delivering quality and value for money, we are confident we can do the same for you.
I'M NOT A VISUAL PERSON, CAN YOU HELP?
Sometimes it's difficult to visualise a space with a different look, especially with a home you've lived in a long time. We can provide digital designs to show you how your new home can look and feel. We always encourage the use of tester pots too, but rest assured we have a visual eye, with attention for details.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I'LL LIKE THE SCHEME YOU PUT TOGETHER?
We'll work together closely with you to identify the project requirements before we start on our end. This gives us an agreed roadmap for moving forward, to make sure both sides are happy and everything is clear. We are here to help you discover an interior scheme that is bespoke to you, and ultimately our aim is always to help you create an interior you'll love.
HOW SHOULD I BUDGET FOR MY PROJECT?
Deciding on a budget for your project is really important. When we start your project we'll discuss all your requirements so that we know the non-negotiables. No two projects are the same, and there are ways to compromise, but it's important to discuss your overall budget earlier on in the process. We only want to design for you what's possible.
IF I CAN JUST GO ONLINE AND SOURCE EVERYTHING MYSELF, WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?
Every client is different and has different levels of confidence with their home design, so that’s why we offer a sliding scale of services, from less to more help, to suit all needs. If you would like our help with online shopping, we can offer our experience, knowledge, and expertise to help guide you, and source local, bespoke, and sustainable products where possible, to develop a creative eclectic design that’s just for you. If you are comfortable shopping online and want to source your own items as well that's fine too, and in that case perhaps you'd be interested in our bespoke Colour Consultation or Digital Consultation, just to pull your ideas together so you're sure of the look you're after, rather than our complete Interior Design services.
CAN I SEE SAMPLES OF WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING?
You bet – With your Bespoke Interior Design we can provide you with physical samples, of materials such as fabrics, wallpaper, and furniture colours and finishes, as well as a digital mood board so you know exactly how the room elements work together. You can be completely confident in the design before ordering.
