How do I prepare for an Initial Consultation?
The Initial Consultation focuses on the areas in your home that you wish to change, what you would like to achieve, how long the project is likely to take, and how much your investment will be.
In advance you will be asked to,
Think about the spaces in your home and how they are used. What works for you, or doesn’t work, and why?
Gather images of interiors that you like – consider what it is that attracts you about them. Is it the style, colour, layout, or a particular piece?
Consider your likes and dislikes – for colours, materials, finishes.
-
What is included in the Initial Consultation?
The Initial Consultation is a 2-hour, in-home session where we assess your property and discuss your plans in detail.
Following this, you receive a written report - a Project Roadmap that outlines your project scope, budget range, timeline, and how ready you are to move forward.
It’s designed to give you clarity before making any major decisions.
-
Do I have to commit to a full project after the Initial Consultation?
No — there’s no obligation to proceed.
The Initial Consultation is designed to give you clarity and a clear plan, so you can decide what feels right for you.
If you do choose to move forward, the consultation fee is credited toward your project.
-
Do you work with clients at different budget levels?
Yes — I offer a structured approach so you can engage at a level that suits you.
Some clients begin with a Focused Design Support, while others move forward with a Full Design Service.
The process is designed to be flexible, while still ensuring a thoughtful and well-considered outcome.
-
Do you help with Downsizing to a smaller home?
Yes — many of my clients in Dublin are Downsizing.
I help you plan how your furniture, layout, and storage will work in your new space, ensuring your home feels comfortable, functional, and easy to live in from the outset.
-
Can you help me Futureproof my home for retirement?
Absolutely. Futureproofing your home involves thoughtful planning around layout, lighting, materials, and ease of use.
The aim is to create a home that continues to support you comfortably and safely in the years ahead — without compromising on style.
-
I’m not sure if I need a full interior design service — where should I start?
The best place to start is with a FREE 30-minute Discovery Call.
From there, most clients move to the Initial Consultation, which gives a clear picture of what’s needed.
Some go on to a Full Design Service, while others choose more Focused Design Support — it depends entirely on your project.
-
Do you offer help with just one room or specific aspects like colour or layout?
Yes — I offer Focused Design Supports such as Colour Consultation, Space Planning, and Lighting Design.
These are ideal if you’d like support with a specific area rather than a full project.
