Ask A Designer
Your burning design question answered before you spend more.
Sometimes you do not need a full design project.
You just need to know whether the colour will work,
If the sofa is too big,
Whether the layout makes sense,
Clarify if the rug, curtains, lighting, artwork, or furniture piece is the right decision before you spend money.
Ask A Designer is a focused digital design response from NIZARRA for a specific interior decision.
You send us your question, photos, and relevant details.
We review your space and give you clear, practical direction so you can make the next move with confidence.
Who this is for
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.
02 — Submit your question
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 stronger your answer will be.
03 — 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.
04 — Receive your design direction
You receive a focused written response with clear recommendations and next steps.
You will know what to do, what to avoid, and why the recommendation makes sense for your space.
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.
What this is not
Ask A Designer is not a full room redesign.
It does not include:
A full design concept
A complete layout plan
Sourcing lists for an entire room
Technical drawings
Contractor instructions

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 Space Audit 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 Space Audit?
No.
Ask A Designer answers one focused design question.
Space Audit diagnoses why a room feels unresolved and provides a structured correction report.
What happens after I purchase?
After purchase, you receive an intake form where you submit your question, photos, measurements, and any relevant links.
NIZARRA then reviews your submission and sends back your design direction.
Still unsure before you spend?
Ask before you buy.
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.
