FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can your services help me?
My work gives you clarity and fresh ideas. I help you understand how the rooms want to function and which ideas are worth pursuing. You come away with a considered direction with layouts, colour intent, and a coherent plan, so you can move forward with confidence. Simply buying things is not the answer.
Do you manage or provide trades,
such as builders?
No. This falls under project management, which is a separate responsibility.
Do you help with extensions or structural changes?
I can draw suggested layouts and floor plans. Anything structural requiring planning advice, or building regulations must be approved by an architect, engineer, or other qualified professional.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. Consultations work very well online, and I can see the house via video call. The documentation will be delivered via email.
Do you produce construction drawings?
No, I produce concept drawings, maquettes, and visual guidance. Joinery drawings can be prepared, but the joiner must always take final measurements for production.
What happens after the design is complete?
You can take the work forward in your own pace, either by implementing the plan yourself or hiring relevant trades when needed.
Do I need to provide measurements?
For the Parlour Consultation, it is not necessary, but very helpful. For the Drawing Room measurements are needed, but they do not need to be millimeter exact. Floor plans from a sale/purchase are good, or you will receive detailed instructions of how to measure.
Will you help find interior items?
I can suggest the types of furniture and items that you will need. I can also specify detailed schedules of items, as well as source antiques, and other pieces. This is an additional service.
I am not sure what I want. Do I need to know my style beforehand?
No, we will work together to find out what you and your house need. This is an enjoyable process and you might even find that you like things you never thought you would.
What if I just need help with colour or one room?
No projects are too small. Both the Parlour and the Drawing Room work well for small spaces or narrower scope. Small decisions aren't necessarily minor.
Will you help me find trades?
I can point you towards the kinds of professionals you may need. Any introductions aren’t guaranteed, as they depend on the nature of the project.
How long does it take?
Consultations are immediate, wth a write-up delivered in a couple of days. Drawing Room takes a few weeks depending on the size of the project.
