FAQs
I have never used an interior designer before. What happens if I have some work that needs doing? In the first instance email or call us for an informal chat. If you wish, an interior designer will make an appointment to come and see you to discuss the project you have in mind. The initial consultation is completely free of charge (within a certain distance) and you will be under no obligation to continue. The initial consultation is for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you, so we can understand and fulfil your needs. We will then write or email you detailing our suggestions along with our fees and terms of business.
If I decide to continue what will happen next? You pay a deposit and our work begins.
Can you outline what basically happens under your interior design service? It depends how much, or how little, help you need, but we can:
prepare design boards/colour schemes, including fabrics, wallpapers, carpets, lighting, furniture, and accessories according to your particular needs
provide estimates as required for decorating, carpentry, carpet or wooden floor fitting, etc
give you written estimates to supply all the materials that we choose together
liaise with you and tradespersons or architects who are working on your space
provide furniture and electrical layouts, where necessary
email suggestions or take you to view suitable furniture
take time out with you to choose lighting, rugs, cushions, and all the other important finishing touches
We have our own construction teams to ensure continuity, personal attention and seamless reliability to our clients, including bespoke carpentry and joinery.
I only want one room decorated. Is this too small a job for you? Absolutely not! We undertake any size project. Often our clients do book us for just one room, to get to know us and then will go on to use us for further work as required.
How much do you charge? The cost of using an interior designer is not as much as most people imagine, and using an interior designer saves time and money. Not only do we take over time-consuming tasks such as providing the most competitive quotes for decorating, carpentry, or building work, but we can frequently source items for your home at cheaper prices than you would find on the high street. Prices vary according to each project. We believe we offer great value with the highest quality and service, delivered on time and on budget.
I am very busy working and dont have time to go shopping or deal with the choices or interior design decisions but I want my property refurbished. How can this happen? Nowadays, the majority of our clients greatly prefer to use email as a form of continuous contact where we can liaise with each other. Our designer can email frequently, sending over photos where necessary and decisions can be made in this way. The whole point is that our interior designer takes over all the hassle and lets you get on with your work/life.
Do you just do decorating without interior design advice? Can I just book the trades like decorators, joiners, plumbers or electricians? Yes, we work with a team of trade people that can give you independent quotes for carpentry/joinery, interior decorating, landscape gardening or other property refurbishment work you need at extremely competitive prices.
Which areas do you work in? We mainly operate in north London and Hertfordshire as this is where we are based, however, we have also carried out projects much further afield in Europe. The majority of our work is by referral and we are proud of this. We are happy to discuss any future project informally.
