Interior design consultation

Sometimes a room just doesn’t feel right and you can’t say why. In a consultation, Joséphine walks through the space with you, listens, and gives clear, practical direction you can act on straight away.

What is interior design consultation?

An interior design consultation is a focused session — typically by the hour — where a designer looks at your space and gives practical advice on layout, colour, lighting and soft furnishings. It suits people who want expert direction but prefer to do the buying and project managing themselves.

Right for you if…

  • One room or one problem that isn’t working
  • You’re about to buy furniture or choose paint
  • You want a professional eye before committing to a plan

The benefits

  • Fast clarity

    Leave with a clear direction for layout, colour and furnishings instead of a pile of samples.

  • Avoid costly mistakes

    Get the sofa size, rug size and paint colour right first time.

  • Stay in control

    You make the purchases at your own pace, with the advice to back you.

FAQs

Questions about design consultation

What should I prepare for a consultation?

Photos of rooms you like, any furniture you want to keep, rough measurements if you have them, and your budget. Most of all, think about how you actually use the room day to day.

Can a consultation lead to a bigger project?

Yes. Many clients start with a consultation and then ask for a design scheme or full design for one or more rooms.
