One-Off Consultation (In-Person)

Let’s get your decisions made! At this in-person appointment, Sarah will answer those burning design questions and point you in the right direction with expert advice & guidance. You’ll walk away with clarity and an action plan!

Sometimes you just need someone to ‘bounce’ some ideas off to help move forward. Someone who isn’t a well meaning friend or family member and someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your home. You need a professional who can give you their unbiased opinion and provide tips for change which you may have never considered.

Perfect for both decoration projects or renovation and building work. Some clients have used this service to review existing architectural plans or finalise materials selections for an upcoming new build or renovation project. It’s your time with Sarah, so gather your questions & use the time how you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • One-off consultations are best for clients who are designing and managing their own projects, but would like to ‘check in’ with an expert for guidance and reassurance on key decisions.

    Typically, clients who use this option tend to ask for:
    – Advice and guidance on the best way to set up your rooms utilising your existing furniture;
    – Suggestions around selecting new furniture pieces, and what to look for when out shopping;
    – An expert opinion to assist you in making those hard decisions – things like paint colour, flooring, tiles and finishes;
    – A professional review of the drawing plans of your renovation or new build to assist in ensuring you have the best layout and functional use of the space.

    These consultations are a great way to get all your questions answered so you can confidently move forward on your own.

  • The one-off consultation is 2 hours in length, held onsite at your home with Sarah. We walk through your project space room by room, and focus on the specific spaces or ideas you’d like to address or are undecided about. If you’d like to use the 2 hours to have Sarah review drawings, plans and finishes, she will review these with you while talking through each space and element to ensure what’s on paper will result in a functional, cohesive space at completion.

  • After the consultation, you’ll receive follow up notes with Sarah’s advice, recommendations and actionable suggestions. Often a fresh and objective set of eyes with no emotional connection to the space provides clarity and gives you confidence in the decisions you’ve already made.

  • You’ll have all your burning questions answered so that you can feel confident in ordering those tiles, advising the painter of your chosen wall colour, or placing the order for lounge/rug/dining table. Remember: you can ask Sarah as many questions as you like in that allocated consultation!

    And, if you feel like you might need another ‘check in’ further down the track - no problem - just get back in touch and we’ll book you in for another One-Off Consultation so Sarah can answer any additional questions that have popped up since our last meeting.

“I know how costly it can be to make design mistakes. Choosing inappropriate finishes or furniture that don’t work well together is more costly than getting it right the first time with a professional designer. I help my clients create timeless cohesive interiors, removing their stress or self-doubt”
