On-site Consultation
A focused 60-minute visit for small design decisions that benefit from seeing the room, finishes and lighting in person.
An on-site consultation for a specific design question or decision that benefits from seeing the space in person.
We assess the room and provide immediate expert direction on colour, furniture placement, scale, styling, finishes or a proposed purchase.
Ask A Designer On-Site Consultation
It is ideal when you need help:
- Choosing a paint colour, finish, fabric or material.
- Deciding where furniture, artwork or lighting should be placed.
- Checking whether an item is the right scale for the room.
- Refining the styling of a shelf, entrance or small area.
- Comparing shortlisted options before making a purchase.
- Understanding what small adjustment could improve the space.
Why an on-site consultation?
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.
