Pay-as-you-go interior design consulting

Interior Design Consulting2026-08-14T15:35:17+02:00

Finding decision-making on your renovation or interior update overwhelming? I can help. My consulting bundles support DIY clients at three key points in a project: getting the floor plan right before construction, defining your style before you go shopping and choosing the right finishes mid-renovation. My standard interior design service—where I specify exact furniture and accessories and handle delivery—is available under my Interior Design Bundle. This service is charged at 20% of the budget, with a minimum budget spend of R200 000 excl. fees. To activate a package submit images/videos of your space by email or Whatsapp + answer my questionnaire. I will then call to discuss your project and send you an invoice to book our first meeting.

Moving to South Africa from the U.S. was a big transition, and hiring Lulu Interiors was one of the best decisions we made. From custom curtains and mattresses to scatter cushions and a beautiful custom dining table, Lucy and her team helped us with every detail of our home. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, even accommodating the time difference by meeting with us after hours for video calls and design consultations. What impressed us most was how thoughtful and thorough Lucy was throughout the entire process. She took the time to truly understand our style and what we wanted our home to feel like. She blended our preferences perfectly with her own incredible sense of style and added a few fun surprises that made the design even more special. We couldn’t be happier with the finished result. Our home is warm, inviting, functional, and completely feels like us. In fact, we never want to leave it! Every guest who visits comments on how beautiful the space is. While the design itself is exceptional, what really sets Lulu Interiors apart is how well Lucy and her team listened. They took every detail seriously and made us feel heard every step of the way. They were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. We cannot recommend Lulu Interiors highly enough. If you’re looking for a designer who truly cares about creating a home that reflects you, Lucy and her team are the best.

Frequently asked questions

Pay-as-you-go interior design consulting is relatively new in South Africa and so you may have some questions on how the packages work. I’ve answered a few of your possible concerns below but give me a quick call or Whatsapp if there is something specific that isn’t covered.

How long does a project take?2026-05-26T14:50:22+02:00

Depending on how busy we are at the time, the output of your consulting package will be ready between 2-4 weeks. Full interior design projects take 12 weeks for average size homes and up to 18 weeks for larger homes as more time is needed on design.

What if I need more advice after my package is completed?2023-12-11T14:40:41+02:00

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

Can expat South Africans or clients outside of South Africa make use of these pay-as-you-go interior design services?2025-09-30T13:07:53+02:00

Yes they can. I 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 5-10 reliable, quality home decor shops for your city (or country if ordering online) and I can specify exact items for your interior.  If you still have an SA bank account then payment is easy. I also offer payment via Paypal for international clients.

What does it really mean to project manage my interior design myself?2023-11-20T14:04:51+02:00

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.

How do I activate a pay-as-you-go interior design package?2025-08-27T14:13:43+02:00

To activate a package simply submit images/videos of your space by email or Whatsapp + answer our mobile friendly questionnaire prior to the consult. We’ll send you an invoice then set up our meeting. All packages 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.
