Design Consultancy
Design consultancy suits clients who wish to lead their own projects, but just want help on some key areas. It offers the chance to access my expertise and get advice in a cost and time effective way. Often, I find the this falls into three main camps.
Help with starting out
With a huge range of (often conflicting) inspirations and rules online, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by choice and be unsure of where to begin. Sometimes couples design ideals don’t align, and they want help to find a middle ground. Here I can help either by us sitting down for a 1-2-1 meeting to chat everything over and/or by working on an initial idea’s presentation with some mood boards to refine your ideas and get you started.

Help with colours
For those dreaming of being bolder, colour consultancy helps draw out what you’ll love, inform you what will work in your home and give you the confidence to go for it. Here I’ll work on a presentation for each room including any details such as your existing furniture. I’ll recommend actual paints you can go and purchase to achieve the look.

Help with everything else
After a second eye on the architect’s plans? Aren’t sure where to shop for an item? After getting advice on how to use your budget best, do you need an expert eye to review your plans before committing?
The best solution here is a Design 1-2-1 session, an hour-long ‘ask me anything’ session. I do these on fixed days, mostly in central Bristol or via Zoom, but I can also include travel to the site.

FAQ
How is a consultancy different from a full interior design service?
Consultancy is for clients who are designing their own projects and want help with areas they’ve got stuck on, whereas I design the project in a full interior design service.
Can you help with small spaces or awkward layouts?
What is the process for a design 1-2-1 session?
Can I book a one-off consultation, or is it part of a larger package?
We are delighted to do a one-off session.
Can you provide advice for small renovations or minor updates?
Absolutely! We are happy to help on anything from a repaint to a renovation. Our minimum booking is a one hour 1-2-1.
Do you provide ongoing support after the initial consultation?
1-2-1 sessions are stand-alone, so if you need more help, you can come back for another one, or we can discuss a scope of work and associated costs. For concept or colour consultancy packages, our initial proposal will state the scope of work and what we will deliver, so everything is clear before you commit.
