Get Started Consultation

Interior and Garden Design

The Get Started consultation is a valuable starting point for every interior and garden design project, providing you with the opportunity to receive bespoke advice and progress.

Sometimes, on smaller projects, this may be all the help you need. For example, expert advice to improve a room or garden layout, discuss a colour scheme or bring a look together.

For larger projects, it is an opportunity to discuss the project in detail, share ideas and expertise and get to know the property and each other prior to preparing a full detailed design proposal for your consideration and sign off.

Whatever your situation we are flexible and happy to help you.

What Is includeD?

The Get Started Consultation includes:

  • a face to face consultation at the property, lasting up to two hours (may be held online for International clients)

  • discussion about your property, ideas, objectives and any opportunities or challenges

  • expert design advice, practical solutions and fresh ideas tailored to your project

  • guidance on layouts, renovation potential, design direction, budgets and priorities, as appropriate

  • recommendations on next steps, including specialist consultants, contractors or suppliers where relevant

  • a written summary of key points and recommendations

Where a larger design project is being considered, this may be followed by a detailed design proposal outlining the recommended scope of work, fees and timescales.

What Happens NEXT?

At the end of your Get Started Consultation, you will have had the opportunity to discuss and develop your ideas with an experienced designer, gain expert advice and identify the most appropriate next steps for your project. Whether you are considering a property purchase, exploring renovation options, refining a design scheme or planning a larger project, you will leave with greater clarity and confidence about how to move forward.

Your Decorbuddi designer will follow up with a written summary of the consultation and, where appropriate, recommendations or a proposal for further work.

For some clients, the consultation provides all the information and reassurance they need and there is no obligation to proceed further. For others, it marks the beginning of a collaborative journey with Decorbuddi, whether through a renovation feasibility study, a bundle of design hours or a fully bespoke interior or garden design project.

What DOES IT COST?

At £295 including VAT, the Get Started Consultation offers excellent value, providing expert advice, fresh ideas and practical guidance tailored to your property and objectives.

For some clients, the consultation provides all the information they need to move forward with confidence. If additional support is required, follow-up work can be arranged through bundles of design hours, renovation feasibility studies or, for larger projects, a detailed bespoke proposal outlining the recommended scope of work, fees and timescales.

What clients say

GET STARTED - INTERIOR

“Our experience with Decorbuddi has far exceeded our expectations. We initially did a starter consultation, we had just moved into a new house and lacked inspiration on where to start. We were assigned a Decorbuddi and within an hour of being in our house, she had made three suggestions that were not obvious to us but we loved and executed immediately! From here we continued to work room by room.”

GET STARTED - GARDEN

“We bought a “Get Started Consultation” for our garden. Jo had great ideas and a depth of knowledge about plants and materials that we lacked. We went on to ask her to create a detailed design and drawings. She also helped oversee the implementation and suggested a great contractor. We have been astonished by the extent to which her ideas have transformed the space. It is much more useable & beautiful.”
