  • Whenever you are ready. If you have never worked with an interior designer before, you can download the Discovery brochure explaining the basic framework. You can locate this at the bottom of each page.

  • This takes place over a video app (Zoom) and you can tell me your aspirations/set backs for your project. It is my wish to develop a strong professional relationship right from the start as we may be working together for some time so let’s make sure we are a good fit for each other.

  • I am so glad you asked. Our journey begins by working through the Seasonal personality document. It is a fun profiling framework that helps me discover your interior preferences (even if you don’t know them yet) in an unexpected way. This short exercise will enable us to create your bespoke design and eliminate any misunderstanding. This document will be emailed to you together with the Discovery form where you can tell me in detail about your project. Both forms will be discussed during our first in person meeting.

    1. Discovery call over video

    2. First on-site meeting arranged

    3. Seasonal profiling and Discovery form documents sent prior to our first meeting

    4. First appointment in person on-site

  • This will be established during our first in-person meeting in conjunction with the Discovery form you have filled in. On the day of our meeting, we will establish the scope of work and discuss potential solutions dilemmas and agree on the expectation for each room. We will decide together the level of my involvement is needed. This meeting is likely to take up to 2 hours and will reveal in detail what is needed in order to fulfil your brief.

  • You can choose my online interior design service with two options depending on where you are in your project. I have a successful portfolio of online interior design projects (see online interior design portfolio) which is ideal if you live further away. For more complex briefs, it is best to work face to face as I can provide a completely bespoke design that is tailor made for you and your family’s needs (see interior design portfolio)

  • The sooner the better. This way I can get to know any contractors involved and suggest options that would be difficult to implement at a later stage.

  • Interior designers are trained to think creatively and maximise the potential of any space they work with - whether it’s a complete renovation or a studio apartment. Most of my clients contact me because they either have a lot of ideas or none at all. It is my job to turn your brief into a captivating design that is suited for the space at hand.

  • I will breathe new life into your tired interiors through the expert use of colour and application of Biophilic design and create uniquely personalized environments based on your family’s individual needs including neurodiverse individuals.

  • The design fee varies depending on the service you ask for. I create bespoke designs based on a tried and tested method enabling me to offer competitive package pricing. If you are after a more predictable cost, you can take advantage of my online interior design service.

  • That's the easy part - just use the contact form to drop me a note or email at info@theemeraldlounge.co.uk. I will get back to you the same working day.
