interior design services Surrey At Home by Design
Interior designers bring expertise in spatial planning, colour coordination, and design principles. They can help you optimise your space, save time and money, and bring your vision to life while avoiding common pitfalls.
Fees are bespoke to each project. The process starts with an initial design consultation, when you’ll be given lots of initial ideas, and we’ll be able to get a good idea of the scope of the project.
Based on this meeting we’ll be able to prepare a fee proposal based on the work you want us to do. If you think this would be a helpful starting place, the fee for the initial consultation is £100, which is deducted from your first bill, and lasts about 90 minutes. I offer a few slots a week for consultations, so please contact me to make a booking.

We love to hear your ideas. These can be shared through images or discussed when we meet to chat about your lifestyle and any specific requirements you have. It’s a process we can guide you through.
We have established relationships with suppliers, vendors and contractors, but we are not tied any one shop. We choose our suppliers based on the requirements of the project. These connections can help streamline the procurement process and sometimes result in discounts for clients.
As much or little as you’d like. Your involvement is essential at the briefing and decision-making stage, but you will receive regular updates. A good interior designer will adapt their approach to one that suits their client.
Always highlight areas you’re not happy with. Sometimes they have been missed out of the brief or have been confused in communication. The design isn’t signed off until you’re happy, and a number of changes are included in the process.
Yes, this is a good way to control the budget, although often it’s more cost-effective to build the budget to the point the project can be developed all at once, to prevent doubling up on tasks.
