THE DESIGN SURGERY
Do you have a design question? Book a video call.​
​
Sometimes you do not need a full design project. You just need half an hour with someone who knows what they are talking about.
​
The Design Surgery is an open, informal consultation - a focused video call where you can bring any interior or fabric question you have been sitting on. Whether you are stuck on a colour decision, unsure about a furniture arrangement, overwhelmed by fabric choices, or simply need a second opinion before you spend - this is the place to get a clear, expert answer.
​
No agenda, no sales pitch. Just honest, practical design advice, tailored to your specific situation.
​
"Think of it as a conversation with a knowledgeable friend who happens to have spent years studying exactly this."
​
What you can bring to a Design Surgery call.​
​
-
Colour and paint dilemmas: Can't decide between two shades? Not sure a colour will work in your light? Let's look at it together.
-
Fabric and textile questions: Unsure which fabric works for your window, sofa, or cushion project? Bring the options - we'll work through it.
-
Furniture layout and space planning: Something feels off in a room but you can't quite place it. Share a photo and a rough floor plan - we'll find it.
-
Styling and finishing touches: You've done the big stuff. Now you need help pulling it all together - accessories, lighting, art, plants.
-
A second opinion before a significant purchase: About to order something expensive? Let's make sure it works before you commit.
