How you can prepare for your consultation
​
1. Understand the Purpose
The consultation is a two-way conversation. It’s a chance for me to understand your needs, and for you to see if I’m the right fit. By the end, you’ll have:
-
A clearer vision for your home
-
Professional advice you can act on straight away
-
A sense of whether you’d like to continue working together
​​
2. Think About Your Goals
Ask yourself:
-
What isn’t working in my home right now?
-
How do I want each room to feel and function?
-
Which pieces do I want to keep?
-
Who uses this space and how?
The more clarity you bring, the more tailored my recommendations will be.
​
3. Include All Decision-Makers
If there are others involved in the project, it helps to have them at the consultation. It ensures everyone’s input is considered from the beginning.
​
4. Consider the Scope & Budget
You don’t need all the details worked out, but thinking about scope and budget helps me give you realistic, practical advice. Whether it’s one room or your entire home, ready-made or custom, I’ll guide you on where to invest for the biggest impact.
​
5. Show Me Around
I’ll walk through your spaces with you, paying attention not just to what you love but also to what isn’t working. Both are equally valuable. Don’t worry about clutter — I’m looking at possibilities, not perfection.
​
6. Bring Inspiration
A handful of images — magazine cuttings, Pinterest boards, saved photos — help me understand what resonates with you. We’ll look for patterns and preferences that can guide your design direction.
​
7. Bring Any Questions
From the best paint colours to whether a room should be re-oriented, walls opened up, this is your time to ask me anything.
​​
The Takeaway
​
Your consultation is the foundation for everything that follows. By the end, you’ll know exactly what the next step looks like — and feel excited about moving forward.
