We’ll begin with a short phone call to chat through your project and confirm that I’m the right fit to help. From there, we’ll book a home design consultation to explore ideas and review options together. You’ll receive plenty of expert tips and practical advice to optimise your space. After that, I’ll recommend the best next steps based on your needs and timeline.

The Concept Report usually takes around two weeks to prepare, depending on the size and complexity of the room. As for the execution phase, timelines can vary greatly based on the scope of your project and availability of trades. We’ll give you a rough estimate during your initial consultation, and once we move into project management, we’ll put together a more detailed timeline to keep everything on track.

For larger items like furniture and lighting, I’ll provide you with direct shopping links so you can place the orders yourself — online or in store.

For smaller items such as paint, decorating materials, and styling accessories, I’ll take care of the purchasing and send you a weekly balance to settle. This keeps things efficient and ensures we stay on track.

Absolutely. I’ll carefully select and liaise with the best contractors for your project — from decorators and electricians to joiners and more. I’ll be your main point of contact to keep everything running smoothly.

Absolutely — we’ll talk about your budget from the very first meeting to make sure I design a solution that works within your range.

My design fee is fixed, and you’ll receive a tailored proposal by email after our call or site visit.

For the concept documentation, pricing is per room. If you choose the project management service, I’ll provide an initial estimate based on your concept, but final costs will depend on quotes from contractors.

Because renovations often come with surprises (especially around plumbing and electrics!), I always recommend my clients to set aside a 10–20% contingency budget to stay on the safe side.

When you book the Concept Documentation, it includes one round of revisions. I’ll take your feedback and update the design before delivering the final version.

During the construction phase, we kick things off with a detailed review of the Concept Pack to make sure everything is aligned before we begin. This includes:

– A walkthrough of the layout, colour schemes, fixtures, and fittings

– An inventory of what you’d like to keep, update, or dispose of

– A timeline discussion so we can sync calendars and map out key milestones

My goal is always to keep the process smooth, transparent, and adaptable, while still keeping the design vision on track.

The initial consultation and concept documentation are the easy and enjoyable part. You’ll love that stage.

Project management can be a bit more intense. Even with support, renovation can feel stressful at times. Here’s what to keep in mind:

• There will be a lot of decisions. My job is to do the research and present you with clear, focused choices so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

• Timelines move quickly. To stay on track, we’ll need to make decisions efficiently. If you have travel plans or time away, just let me know so we can avoid delays.

• Unexpected issues may arise. I’ll always keep you updated and work quickly to offer solutions when that happens.

Hiring a designer should feel like driving a luxurious automatic car. You’re in control, but I’m here to make sure the journey is smooth from start to finish.
