‘I don’t want an interior designer… I just need some design advice’
There are common pre-conceptions that interior designers are for large renovation projects with big budgets or clients with a lot of money.
Firstly, you might find our article helpful – How to find an affordable interior designer – which covers the cost advantages of freelance designers and start-up practices and where to find them.
A one-off design consultation
Did you know that it’s possible to hire an interior designer for a single design meeting?
Many interior designers would be happy to charge for a couple of hours of their time to discuss an aspect of your project where you feel ‘stuck’.
It can be incredibly valuable to get a steer on the big design decisions, leaving you to focus on the smaller ones yourself. For example, you could ask to discuss:
- layout changes
- an aesthetic concept or set of ‘design rules’ for you to follow
- solving a particular challenge e.g storage
- innovative ideas for small-space living
- lighting advice
- how to make a room more functional / more cosy.
E-design
Many entrepreneurial interior designers across the UK are offering e-design packages. This can be a fantastic, cost-effective way to get your interior design project started, solve a particular design problem and provide the ideas and inspiration you’re looking for.
Arranging a one-off interior design advice session
Not all interior designers will offer one-off design consultations. It’s also important that the designer quickly understands your aspirations and taste, so it’s a good idea to find an interior designer whose work you love.
