interior design consultations
Are you looking simply for a bit of Interior design advice?
Perhaps you’re looking for a colour consultation, or there’s something specific you want to
change in a particular room,
such as a new sofa or better lighting?
Maybe you want help finding a coffee table, some thoughts on how to furnish a ‘dead zone’ in your home, or perhaps you’ve inherited a piece of furniture or art and want to know how to make it work with what you already have?
Clients come to me every day asking for help with specific interior design-related questions,
and not necessarily looking for
an entire room or home redesign.
My Design Consultation service offering a personal 1:1 consultation has been created to help you with these everyday design dilemmas.
I like to think of the service as a chat with your best friend who is an interior designer.
I’ll cast a fresh pair of eyes over your design challenge, come up with ideas and solutions and recommend product and resources to inspire & kick start your project.
I am completely independent and not aligned to any particular brand or supplier, so my advice is always based on the best option for you & your budget.
I can advise on everything from paint colours to redesigning room layouts, from sourcing furniture to built-in cabinetry, from types of flooring to where to find artwork, from bathroom redesigns to kitchen sinks and everything in between.
Consultations are available by the hour and may be in person, or online. Our meeting will be followed up by email to recap my key recommendations and provide links to suggested products and resources.
colour consultations
As an independent design expert, I offer colour options from over 15 different premium paint companies when advising on the best colours for your home.
Colour is also however just one part of the story. When thinking about decorating a space it is equally important to consider pattern, texture & other design elements that will together combine to create harmony and balance and give a room a distinct look & feel.
I offer ‘Design Consultations’ rather than simply ‘Colour Consultations’ as I like to consider a space as a whole and provide guidance and inspiration beyond just paint colour.
This makes my Design Consultations exceptional value for money, compared to the colour consultancy services offered by the luxury paint brand market.
“We have been renovating and decorating our home since we moved in 7 years ago, but we both find choosing the right furniture and accessories a bit overwhelming. We’ve called on Geek Vintique for advice on numerous occasions and for different reasons, from getting the basics right like choosing soft furnishings and accessories, to making bigger decisions like kitchen choice, wall paint colour schemes and building in shelving.
Claire has been invaluable in helping guide us through this process and always manages to find the right look for our house, at the right price. We’re not blessed with an old characterful house, but Claire has definitely helped us bring the character in, through colour and style advice & ideas which have given us a cohesive look to build on. Would definitely recommend working with Claire, she’s insightful, creative, and always considers your budget when suggesting ideas.”
