The design consult

Two hours of professional design advice, focused on your home

Our 2-hour Interior Design Consultation costs £350 + VAT and runs in person or via Zoom. You walk us through your home and questions; we give expert recommendations on paint colours, layout, lighting, finishes and brands. You leave with clear direction — not a finished room design — and a confident list of next steps.

Why it’s worth it

What a 2-hour interior design consultation gives you

In short: An interior design consultation is a fixed-length, paid session with a professional designer to answer specific questions and set direction, without commissioning a full design.

  • Cut through decision paralysis

    Too much inspiration, not enough direction? We help you prioritise what matters and what can wait.

  • Expert, practical answers

    Estate emulsion or eggshell? Which ceiling and woodwork colours? Which brands are worth it? Ask anything.

  • Useful at any stage

    Before you buy, before the builders start, midway through, or when a room is almost finished and needs the final push.

  • Your first step with us

    Every full project starts with a consultation. It’s a focused working session and the entry point to a smoother, guided experience.

    Share a little context

    Send photos, floor plans or inspiration beforehand if you have them — they help us make the most of the session.

  3. 03

    Walk us through your home

    Use the two hours however works best for you: room by room, one tricky space, or a list of questions.

  4. 04

    Recommendations, priorities and next steps. If you’d like more help, we’ll talk about a full design proposal.

Questions

2-Hour Interior Design Consultation: FAQs

More answers on our FAQ page

How much is a design consultation?

The 2-Hour Interior Design Consultation is £350 + VAT. It runs in person or via Zoom, depending on your location and preference, and is the essential first step for every full design project with the studio.

Will I get a finished room design?

No — the consultation is a starting point. You’ll receive valuable recommendations and a clearer sense of direction, rather than a fully detailed room design. It’s ideal for product recommendations, colour choices and resolving issues at the start or end of a project.

Can the consultation be done online?

Yes. Consultations can be held via Zoom as well as in person. Zoom works especially well for clients outside London or for a midway check-in on a project that is already under way.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your consultation or any scheduled appointment. Contact us as soon as possible and we will find another time that suits.

What should I prepare?

Bring your questions and anything that helps us understand the space: photos, measurements or floor plans, and inspiration images. If you already have paint samples or products in mind, have them to hand so we can give a direct opinion.
