One hour of expert interior design advice for the decisions you’re stuck on.
 
Sometimes you don’t need a full interior design service. You simply need an experienced designer to look at what you already have, understand the problem and help you make the right decision.
 
The Design Hour is a focused one-hour consultation for specific design questions, dilemmas and problem areas. It is not a complete room design service and is not intended for creating an entire room scheme or overall design direction from scratch.
 
The Design Hour is ideal if you need help with:
Furniture placement or layout dilemmas
Choosing between paint colours
Deciding between furniture, lighting or finish options
Window treatment advice
Scale and proportion
Styling a particular area
Making existing furniture and pieces work better together
Working out why part of a room doesn’t feel quite right
Getting expert reassurance before making a purchase or decorating decision.
 
You’re welcome to bring several questions to the consultation and we’ll work through as much as we reasonably can within the hour.
 
Is the Design Hour right for you?
The Design Hour is best suited to you if you already have a room, some existing pieces or a general idea of what you want, but need professional advice to help you make particular decisions.
 
The Design Hour is not designed for:
Creating a complete room design from scratch
Developing the overall look and feel of a room for you
Designing a full scheme covering furniture, colours, finishes, lighting and styling
Mood boards or concept boards
Detailed space planning or drawings
Full product sourcing or a complete shopping list
 
If you are looking at your room and thinking “I don’t know what to do with this space”, or you need us to create the overall direction and bring the whole room together for you, The Vision is the better service.
 
How it works
Before your appointment, you’ll complete a short design form and upload photographs of the areas you’d like advice on.
We’ll review these in advance so that we understand your questions and can use your consultation time effectively.
Your Design Hour will then take place via Zoom or in person, depending on your location.
During the hour, we’ll work through your questions, offer professional recommendations and give you clear direction on the decisions you need to make.
 
The Design Hour includes:
One hour with an interior designer
Professional advice tailored to your home
Guidance on your specific questions and problem areas
Clear recommendations you can act on yourself
 
It does not include a complete room scheme, including concept or direction, mood board, drawings, detailed space planning or full product sourcing. Please note before booking
The Design Hour is an advice and problem-solving consultation. It is not a full room design service.
If you need us to create the complete direction for a room from the overall look and layout through to furniture, colours, finishes and styling please choose The Vision, The Autograph or Private Client Design for those seeking a more personal, bespoke service.
