FAQs
Everything you were probably wondering.

The three services
What's the difference between the three services?
Colour Consultancy gives you a cohesive colour palette for one room or your whole home. A Room Design is a complete design for a room, layout, colour, furniture, lighting, textiles and a clickable shopping list. A Design Consultation is a single session of expert advice on whatever you're stuck on, with a written summary afterwards.
Which should I start with?
If it's only colour that's holding you back, start with Colour Consultancy. If you want a room fully resolved and ready to buy, choose Room Design. If you have specific questions across one or several rooms, a Design Consultation is the quickest way to move forward.
Do I need to know what style I want before we start?
Not at all. Most clients arrive knowing how they'd like a room to feel rather than how it should look. My job is to help you discover your style, not to hand you mine.
Pricing
How much does each service cost?
Colour Consultancy from £175 (Single Room £175, Whole Home from £395). Room Design from £595 per room. Design Consultation £150 online or £225 in-home. Pricing is confirmed in writing before anything begins, there are no surprise fees.
Is the consultation fee deducted from a project?
Yes. If you book a Room Design within 14 days of an in-home Design Consultation, £100 of your consultation fee is deducted from the Room Design fee.
Are there any optional extras?
For Room Design, local clients can add a home measuring or site visit (£125), a sample sourcing visit (£125), an additional design or site meeting (£95) or a styling and install visit (from £250).
Do I have to spend a lot on furniture?
No. Good design isn't about spending more, it's about spending thoughtfully. I design to your budget and tell you honestly where it's worth investing and where it isn't.
Online and in person
Where do you work?
I work in person across Cheshire and the surrounding areas, and online with homeowners anywhere in the UK.
Does Room Design cost more if I'm local?
No. The core Room Design service and price are the same wherever you are. Local clients can add optional visits such as measuring, sample sourcing or styling if they're useful.
Will working online feel as personal?
Yes. The conversation is the same, we still start with how you want the room to feel, and you'll always speak directly to me.
Timelines
How long does a project take?
Colour Consultancy projects are usually completed within one to two weeks. Room Designs typically take four to six weeks, depending on sourcing and lead times.
How far in advance should I enquire?
Where possible, a few weeks ahead. If you're working to a deadline, tell me in your enquiry and I'll be honest about what's achievable.
The process
What happens after I enquire?
You'll receive a warm, personal reply, never an automated one, usually within one to two working days. We'll arrange a conversation about your home and I'll recommend the best place to begin.
Do you manage builders and trades?
I provide clear guidance and specifications for your trades, and can work alongside them so everything is delivered as designed.
Still have a question? I'd rather you asked than wondered.
