Interior Designer Surrey, London, UK QUESTIONS

Is working with an Interior designer expensive?

If you choose to work with us, then we do charge a design fee. We are, however experts in renovation, and working with us prevents you making costly mistakes that will impact your completion time and budget.

When you choose to work with us, we are freeing you from the stress and time it takes to successfully run a project. Giving you time back to focus on your family, work or other important areas that would otherwise be hugely impacted if you took the project on yourselves.

We also have access to many interior products & specialised trades that are trade only. Allowing us to create homes that are hugely unique and special for you.

Will you work within my budget?

We work hard to design our projects around realistic budgets. We pride ourselves on our ability to bring together bespoke designs with lower priced pieces that create eclectic and interesting spaces.

We like to be frank about budgets, as we pride ourselves on having honest, open relationships with our clients.

Do keep in mind we charge design fees, so if you are hoping to do your room on a budget, it probably won’t be worth using an interior designer.

Can we use our stuff?

Of course you can, if you already have some great furniture or some beautiful family heirlooms then we will work them into the design, or help you style or repurpose them to lift the space.

How do you charge?

We charge per project. Each project is different and bespoke and has different complexities & factors to consider.

Our Luxury Interior Design – The full package is determined after a briefing meeting and is broken down for each interior design process.

For smaller projects we work on an hourly fee of £80 + VAT.

We have a minimum of 50 hours attached to our projects, but this is really for one room. Most of our projects take between 12-18 months and so our fees reflect this.

Please contact us to discuss your project further.

How long does a project take?

This is hugely dependant on how much work is involved. If you are planning a single room transformation, then we advise between 8-12 weeks.

If we are working on a whole house renovation, then we will be working with you for potentially 12-18 months.

Again there are multiple factors to consider and how quickly you move on decisions will greatly impact timings. We will discuss timescale before we start a project.

Do you source contractors or can we use our own?

We are happy to recommend contractors to our clients but these recommendations are based on previous work. We do require clients to take out separate contracts with contractors, as we will not be responsible or liable for the quality of other trades work. We offer project fulfilment for the design elements of the project and we communicate with all the contractors working on a project but we do not manage disputes or construction work.

How can we work with an Interior designer?

Really it’s up to you! We love working on a luxury interior design – The full package, as this is really the stress-free option for our clients and how we create our best work. If you have a limited budget, it is worth looking at our Walk and Talk Through service for a quick injection of design advice.
