1:1 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 1:1 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!
the service
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: -
Home improvements/space planning
Room & furniture layouts
Cabinetry/storage solutions
Colour /wall treatment
Drapes/window treatment
Lighting
Furnishings/accessories plus brand/store sources
Styling
The 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 1:1 meeting time as you wish.
For guidance, in the time available, I can typically provide holistic interior design advice for one room or space, OR give colour-only guidance 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
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 thinking about decorating a space it is equally important to consider pattern, texture & other design elements that will together combine to create harmony and balance and give a room a polished look & feel.
I offer Design Consultations rather than simply Colour Consultations as I will look at your space holistically & 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, during the consultation time.
“We have been renovating and decorating our home since we moved in 7 years ago, but we both find choosing the right furniture and accessories a bit overwhelming. We’ve called on Geek Vintique for advice on numerous occasions and for different reasons, from getting the basics right like choosing soft furnishings and accessories, to making bigger decisions like kitchen choice, wall paint colour schemes and building in shelving.
Claire has been invaluable in helping guide us through this process and always manages to find the right look for our house, at the right price. We’re not blessed with an old characterful house, but Claire has definitely helped us bring the character in, through colour and style advice & ideas which have given us a cohesive look to build on. Would definitely recommend working with Claire, she’s insightful, creative, and always considers your budget when suggesting ideas.”
