We provide you with as much advance information as possible on all matters, particularly the price for work to be performed. In each case, you will have full visibility of issues before having to make any commitment to proceed. Wherever possible, we provide fixed prices for each stage of work.  Indicative prices appearing below are offered in good faith simply to give some idea of the typical budgets for our clients’ projects.

Commissions for our design and project management services would be determined after the initial consultation and before subsequent project stages.  Typically, the design stage would cost between £600 and £1150 plus VAT per room depending on complexity, location and other factors.  For implementation, our clients spend typically between £8k and £20k on a reception room or bedroom, between £15k and £25k on a bathroom and £12k to £60k on a kitchen;  as a guide, our project management fee would lie between 10-15% of the implementation price.  It is important to remember that our trade discounts and supplier negotiation will save you money;  clients remark that they believe our fees have largely paid for themselves.

All projects include an initial consultation (Stage 1).  Between us, we then decide whether we are to carry out full design and implementation (Stages 2 and 3), or simply provide the design (Stage 2 only) for the clients to implement themselves .  The opportunity also exists for you to implement part of the project if requested.

Stage 1 - Initial Consultation

Each engagement begins with a free initial 1-2 hour consultation (depending on cups of tea), where we will:

        • Get to know each other
        • Hear your ideas and reasons for the proposed changes
        • Review the general character of the property as a whole
        • Show you some samples of previous work
        • Clarify, in broad terms, the extent of the proposed task
        • Agree whether we would design and implement the project, or only provide the design.
       • Identify the budget available
        • Explain further the service, the project stages, and pricing
        • Agree on what happens next

Stage 2 - Design and Specification

Once the quotation for Stage 2 is acceptable, we would:

        • Make a second visit to take the detailed brief, and survey the room or rooms
        • Engage an architect, structural engineer and party wall surveyor on your behalf if required
        • Produce a floor plan (to optimise the position of furniture and other features of the room)
          and elevation drawings if required (including suggestions for window treatments).
        • Produce a basic electrical and lighting layout.
        • Obtain samples, catalogues and any other material required for the design presentation.
        • Prepare and present the proposed interior design to you.
        • If required, present a modified design from any reasonable comments on the first.
        • Accompany you to any product viewing required.
        • Provide a rough order of magnitude price estimate for project implementation (Stage 3).

When the design was agreed, you would sign this agreement.

If we were only providing the design and basic specification (Stage 2 only), we would then:

If we were also to implement the design, we would then:

       • Provide any agreed floor plans, basic electrical layouts and sample boards to leave with you
          while work proceeds (to include paint samples, swatches, and examples of floor coverings
          as appropriate).
        • Produce a quotation for Stage 3.

Stage 3 - Project Implementation

Once the quotation is agreed we would:  

        • Create detailed specifications including quantities
          for the products identified in the design.
        • Obtain all the required fabrics, paints and other
          products identified in the agreed interior design.
        • Engage the required tradesmen and tradeswomen.
        • Manage the implementation of the project.
        • Oversee progress against schedule, and the quality
          of the work.
        • Meet with you to report progress.
        • Hold a final meeting to agree on the completion of
          works against the agreed design and required quality.

Note:  For structural work, we co-ordinate the activities of architects, structural engineers and party wall surveyors, and the associated building trades.  In these cases, a direct contractual relationship is established between the end client and the professional body or trade in question, whilst we oversee daily progress against a schedule, and do all the leg-work.

The actual price for this work, including our project management fees and the price of sub-contract labour would have been provided for agreement prior to embarking on this stage of the project.

“I am delighted with the designs and really appreciate how you have included all of the various elements of the brief into a cohesive and effective plan.”

This page describes the services that we offer, our fees, and how we would work with you.

The 3 basic stages are:

Remember, our initial interior design consultation is FREE.

The fixed price for our home staging service will be based on the number of rooms to be staged, as well as the loan of any additional furniture and accessories required to enhance the property.

For this project estimation and implementation service we provide a fixed price for the report,  dependent on the number of rooms and extent of works required.  A recent 4 bedroom property over 5 floors including a garden and basement with requirement for exterior decoration, damp treatment, replacement windows, re-wire and many other interesting aspects took 3 days to survey, engage specialist trades, obtain quotations, and write up.  We would charge £650 plus VAT for a report of this magnitude but would offset part of this price against any implementation contract that followed.

Our services apply generally to any of the following, which you can click on to see examples of our work:   

kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, attic or loft rooms, basements, children’s rooms, bespoke furniture, bespoke interiors, total home renovation, and office, retail shop or other business premises refurbishment.  

Note:  we also supply furniture, fabrics, lighting and other interiors products at competitive rates, and offer refurbishment price estimation, house doctor and home staging services:  these are described below.
