Pay-as-you-go interior design consulting

Depending on how busy we are at the time, the output of your consulting package will be ready between 2-4 weeks.

No problem. You can simply request a few more hours working on my rate of R950 per hour.

Yes they can. We have designed an entire multi-floor apartment in Ireland without ever seeing the property in person. It is incredibly costly to hire an interior designer overseas and so hiring a South African interior designer virtually/via Zoom can save you thousands. All I need to know is 4-8 reliable, quality home decor shops for your city (or country if ordering online) and I can specify exact items for your interior. Because interior design is such a luxury service abroad our interior design gift experience’s can be a real spoil for couples who have emigrated so check out our online store. It’s also a great way to treat your family back in SA as foreign currency tends to go further. If you still have an SA bank account then payment is easy. We also offer payment via Paypal for international clients.

There is a lot of troubleshooting and problem solving when you begin to implement an interior design. Items can sell out, items can arrive that look different to the images online, items can arrive the wrong size or technical difficulties can arise as you get to the nitty gritty details. There are often design changes that need to take place mid-project management to accommodate for this and you will need to make those adjustments yourself. If you are installing the project on your own you need to be mindful of issues that could arise for example you’ll need to check if the couch you want can fit around your apartment stairwell or tight corners during delivery? Or if installing wallpaper you will need to make sure your wall is skimmed so no plaster imperfections in the wall appear through the paper. It is important to see all samples in person and preferably together before placing large orders. The more research you do beforehand the better. Our consulting service is based on online stock at time of design, online measurements and online samples/colours.

To activate a package simply submit images/videos of your space by email or Whatsapp + answer this mobile friendly questionnaire prior to the consult. We’ll send you an invoice then set up our meeting. All packages (excluding the Zoom Bundle) are redeemable in person within a 20km radius of Sandton (or within 50km with an additional charge of R450 excl VAT). If you are outside of this radius or are contacting us from outside of South Africa then we are able to consult via Zoom.

It all depends on how much time you would like to spend with me on your project and the kind of questions you need answered. Our hourly consulting gives you flexibility in terms of what outputs you would like for your project like you might be in the middle of a renovation and have no idea what tile to choose for your bathroom. This is a very specific question best answered by hourly advice but it’s important to be aware that in order for us to answer this question in a helpful way we will need to get our head around your project, the vision for your home as well as the specific alternatives in stock at your point of choosing, and that takes a few hours. The Zoom Package, Style Guide and Design Catalogue each increase in terms of outputs (and therefore cost) and give you predictable take outs where you can be very hands on and implement the design yourself.
