THE INITIAL IN-HOME CONSULTATION
up to 90mins, on-site: $320
My Initial In-Home Consultation is the most popular design service I offer. I used to do these consultations for free, but I soon realised it was unsustainable. Getting to and from the consult, the time spent there, and sharing my knowledge and ideas—all added up. Nobody can survive on kindness and hope alone, right?
This 90-minute consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss anything regarding your project. Whether you're just starting or need help moving forward, I’m here to assist. We can review floorplans, choose finishes and flooring, or decide how to arrange your furniture in a new space. We can dive into styles, colours, furnishings, art, or any other aspect of your project. A lot can be achieved in 90 minutes.
During our meeting, I'll share a list of wholesaler accounts I hold. This means in the future, you or someone you know can find unique pieces—whether it's furniture, art, lamps, rugs, or candles.
There is no pressure to purchase anything on the day of your consultation, and you're not obligated to continue using my services afterwards. However, I hope you find the experience valuable and consider moving forward with a design concept document or one of my other design services. I’ll follow up by email or text a few days after our meeting to see if you need anything else.
The Follow-Up Concept Design Document *
- to be quoted (charged at hourly rates)
After the initial home consultation, if you'd like everything we discussed in a detailed document with notes, product images, and shop links, I'll send you a post-consult email with my fee for the concept design document.
If you’re happy to proceed, I'll send you a straightforward agreement outlining the rooms being transformed, my responsibilities as your design consultant, and your responsibilities as my client. The agreement will also include my fee, bank details, and terms.
Once payment is confirmed, I'll start working on your concept document, which will be based on everything we covered in the initial 90-minute consultation. I'll email you the document and present it during a follow-up home visit.
The concept design may take 2-3 weeks, depending on the number of rooms. This time is needed to research products, collate pictures, prices, and details to create a comprehensive document for your home. I'll also create a private Pinterest board with additional choices to consider.
The concept document includes:
-
Inspirational images for your home makeover
-
A design board with pictured and itemised pages for each room
-
Suggested colour palettes, wall coverings, flooring, lighting, and window coverings
-
A simple floorplan of each room with proposed furniture layout
-
Any other ideas I come up with!
