Ask A Designer
Online Consultation
Your burning design question answered, before you spend more.
A focused online design consultation for a specific interior design question.
Sometimes you do not need a full design project.
You just need one clear answer before you spend more.
- You know something is off in your space, but I don’t know what.
- You have too many options and I can’t decide.
- You don’t want to waste money on the wrong decor.
- You need a designer’s eye, but I don’t need a full project.
- You want your space to look better, but I don’t know where to start.
- You have one design question and need a clear answer.
Ask A Designer is for
Homeowners, Renters, Airbnb owners, Office owners, and Small business owners who want to make better interior decisions before spending more money.
It is especially useful if you already have a mostly finished space, but one decision is holding you back.
How It works
01 — Purchase Ask A Designer.
Complete your purchase through the website.
Once payment is confirmed, you will receive access to your intake form and booking link for your 60-minute virtual design consultation.
02 — Submit your question.
Before your session, you will send us:
One clear design question
Photos of the space or item
Measurements, where relevant
Links or screenshots of options you are considering
A short explanation of what you are trying to decide
The clearer your question, the more focused and useful your session will be.
03 — Book your virtual consultation.
Choose a time for your 60-minute online session.
This is where we review your space with you in real time, ask clarifying questions where needed, and guide you through the decision you are trying to make.
04 — NIZARRA reviews your space.
We look at your question through the lens of proportion, colour, scale, flow, material tone, and visual balance.
We are not trying to redesign the whole room.
We are helping you make one better design decision with clarity and confidence.
05 — Receive live design direction.
During your virtual consultation, you receive focused design guidance, clear recommendations, and practical next steps.
You will know what to do, what to avoid, and why the recommendation makes sense for your space.
06 — Get your written recap.
After the session, you will receive a short written recap summarising the key recommendation, next steps, and any important notes from your consultation.
This is not a full design report, but a clear reference to help you take action.
Before you submit
Please make sure your question is specific.
Instead of asking:
“Can you help me with my living room?”
Ask:
“Which rug size should I choose for this living room?”
or
“Which wall colour works better with this floor and sofa?”
or
“What should I change in this corner to make it feel more resolved?”
A specific question allows us to give you a stronger, more useful answer.

Ask A Designer: On-site Consultaion
Some design decisions are best made within the room itself. Seeing the space in person allows us to assess its true light, colour, scale, proportions and existing finishes—and provide guidance that responds directly to how the room looks, feels and functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ask about more than one room?
No. This service is for one question relating to one room, one area, or one design decision.
For multiple rooms or a deeper review, choose Room Diagnosis or Spatial Intervention.
Can I send product links?
Yes. You may send links or screenshots of furniture, décor, paint colours, rugs, lighting, or other items you are considering.
Will you choose between options for me?
Yes. This is one of the best uses of Ask A Designer.
You can send two or three options, and we will help you identify which one works best and why.
Will I receive a mood board?
No. Ask A Designer is not a moodboard service.
You receive clear written design direction, with visual notes where needed.
Will you source products for me?
No. This service does not include product sourcing.
You may send options you are already considering, and we can help you choose between them.
Is this the same as NIZARRA Room Diagnosis?

NIZARRA Room Diagnosis assesses why a room feels unresolved and provides a structured correction report.
Ask before you spend.
A single design decision can change the way a room feels.
Ask A Designer gives you clear expert direction before you commit to furniture, décor, colour, lighting, or layout decisions.
