Design Consultations
Are you stuck on paint colours, looking to zone an awkwardly-shaped space, or tired of looking at a room that never feels finished?
Clients contact me every day looking for help with interior design-related questions and dilemmas.
A personal, one-to-one consultation provides the opportunity to discuss design ideas, seek creative direction, and receive expert advice tailored to your needs.
Whether you're looking for design inspiration or simply a bit of guidance, my Design Consultation service gives you direct access to a design specialist to help with those everyday design decisions. And clients can benefit from a 20% discount offer this summer!
I’ll cast a fresh pair of eyes over your design challenge, come up with ideas and solutions and recommend product and resources to inspire, kick start & guide your project.
I am completely independent and not aligned to any particular brand or supplier, so my advice is always based on the best option for you & your budget.
I can advise on: -
Whole property renovation projects - what to consider & first steps
Home improvements/space planning
Room & furniture layouts
Cabinetry/storage solutions
Colour /wall treatment
Drapes/window treatment
Lighting
Furnishings/accessories & styling with brand/store sources
Process
Design Consultations are for 90 minutes and may be in-person*, or online via Zoom or Google Meets. They are priced at £250 before any discount.
Once you have booked I will contact you to arrange a convenient date and time. You will also receive an email with a link to a questionnaire requesting advance information and images for me to review ahead of our chat.
Consultations are collaborative & tailored to your needs, so we can use the meeting time as you wish.
For guidance, in the time available, I can typically provide interior design advice for one room or space, OR give colour-only guidance (see below) for up to five rooms/spaces.
Any further design advice required can be arranged as an add-on service at an hourly rate of £65ph.

Colour Consultations
As an independent design expert, I offer colour options from over 15 different paint companies when advising on the best colours for your home.
Colour is also however just one part of the story. When enhancing a space it is equally important to consider design materials, pattern, texture & other design elements that will together combine to create harmony and balance and give a room a polished look & feel.
I therefore prefer to offer Design Consultations rather than simply Colour Consultations as I look at spaces holistically & can put forward suggestions that go far beyond just paint colour.
This makes my Design Consultations exceptional value for money, compared to the colour-only consultancy services offered by the luxury paint brand market.
However, for clients looking purely for colour-only advice, perhaps to create a cohesive flow across the home or to paint a property exterior - I can give colour-only guidance for up to five rooms, OR for one exterior scheme - front door, windows, masonry, architectural details & so on - during the consultation time.
“Claire provided colour and design advice when redecorating my 5 bedroom house in TW11. Claire listened to my concerns and preferences, did her homework and made some great suggestions which pushed me out of my comfort zone, in a good way. She delivered much more than I asked for and I’ve been incredibly impressed with her knowledge and expertise (paint colours, wallpaper, fabrics, local suppliers etc). I have already recommended Claire to a number of friends.”
