Process and Pricing

First consultation
Costs: £120 (within 20 miles of Bath). To be paid before the consultation.
This first consultation takes place at your house, and takes about 2 hours.
We will discuss your situation, your needs and your budget. I will also take measurements, and take pictures of the present situation.

Interior Design
In my experience you will get the best result if you involve me in the complete design, ordering and implementation process. I’m best at complete make-overs of spaces.
This means I come up with the complete plan:

Floor plan layout
A 1:20 or 1:10 (depending on the size of the space) scale drawing on A3 paper, indicating where all furniture is placed.

Lighting plan
A 1:20 scale overlay on transparent paper, indicating where all lighting is placed.
A plan in writing, indicating the purpose and types of lighting, as well as links to the actual
light fixings.

Mood board with Colour scheme
An A3 foam board with pictures of the desired style, atmosphere, paint colour and fabric
samples.

Interior Design Advice and Plan
A written document based on our conversations and mood board, describing the room as it
will become, including all colours, furniture, fixings and accessories.

Finding Furniture, fixings & accessories
Based on the mood board, the written plan and your budget, I search for and propose the
items to be purchased.

Project Management
Communication with shops and trades people, and ordering of items

Project Cost:
In a proposal I give you a quote for the complete project, consisting of two parts:
1. The Designer Fee: This is a fixed fee, determined by the scope of the project.
2. Estimated cost of purchases like furniture, furnishings, lighting, paint, accessories, etc.
(E.g. £ 2,000 Designer Fee for a complete make-over of a living room, with an estimated cost of £20,000 for everything that needs purchasing.
This is just an example. The actual Designer Fee and estimated cost of purchases is dependent many factors, such as the size of the room, which items need finding and purchasing, etc.)

Whenever possible and when it is the best option, I purchase items from companies that I have Trade Agreements with, or can get a Trade Agreement with.
Any discounts/commissions I get from these purchases are all transferred to you.

For items that I can’t get any discount on, or if it is a sales product, but it’s the best
choice or the one you prefer, a 10% surcharge applies.
This surcharge covers the cost of searching for items, ordering, communication with suppliers concerning delivery/installation etc.

My involvement pays itself back into all these monetary and other benefits:
– increased property value
– cost savings (via trade discounts or avoiding mistakes)
– space maximisation (e.g. improved functionality, expert space planning)
– well-being (e.g. improve comfort, maximise natural light)
– aesthetic improvements
– time savings (e.g. searching for products, ordering, communication with shops and trades people)
– professional knowledge and expertise – avoid mistakes, make faster decisions
– expert product knowledge
