Design Plans
Are you struggling to decide what to do with a room or space in your home?
Perhaps you feel inspired by interiors on Instagram or Pinterest, but you’re unsure how to translate ideas into a cohesive, well-considered design.
Perhaps you have no ideas at all.
Clients typically contact me because they’re living in an environment that feels out of alignment with who they are and what they need and because they’re struggling to visualise potential or to make clear, confident decisions.
I call this gap between the home you have and the home you dream of The Considered Home Gap™
My services are tailored to identify & close that gap.
My Design & Planning service delivers a bespoke, comprehensive interior design scheme created for your space, tailored to your lifestyle and personal style.
Every inch is fully considered. You’ll receive a clear creative concept, a thoughtful colour palette, room layout plans, recommended furniture and accessory selections and 3D visuals.
Your resulting Design Plan is a complete design solution in its own right, which you may implement independently, but it also forms the foundation of my full-service interior design offering, should you wish to progress to the delivery phase.
Who is this for?
Design Plans are ideal for homeowners seeking professional interior design expertise to reimagine their home, while looking to do the work themselves.
Many clients go on to engage our Full-Service to deliver their home design, but this is entirely optional.
It’s particularly suited to you if:
You want to take your time implementing your scheme & want to phase the work in over time.
You enjoy the process of interior design, but would like professional direction to work to.
You’re engaging an interior designer for the first time and want to explore the process before making a full commitment.
You want an interior design service that gives you the option to implement the design yourself, or to outsource later.
You have your own contractors and simply need a complete design planning service.
Each Design Plan begins with a preliminary meeting to explore ideas and your requirements, identify any practical considerations, and establish a renovation budget.
From there, I’ll develop initial design concepts and colour direction, which I’ll present to you for review and discussion.
The key creative elements of your scheme — such as colour, wallpaper, focal points and overall design direction — will be agreed collaboratively before I begin work on your tailored Design Plan documentation. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks.
The service concludes with a 1:1 handover, where I guide you step-by-step through the completed Design Plan documentation, including 3D and 2D visuals, recommendations, resources and practical guidance.
You’re then equipped to implement the transformation project in your own time, or to progress to my delivery stage.

“After a few years post-initial renovation, the house required a much needed refresh. Claire was recommended to us to help plan the space. The result was an ‘instagram’ kitchen / living space that we love. So much so that she’s since designed a home office, snug and bedrooms for us too! Claire is easy to work with, listens and has amazing vision. From choosing colours that not only look great but also give the right feel to a room, to reflecting us in the overall scheme and down to the final detailing, she’s absolutely nailed every room. ”
