If you’re starting afresh or renovating, and want to work with someone who’ll help you embrace colour, pattern and texture, then – yes! However, we totally understand that hiring an interior designer is an investment you won’t want to take lightly. If you’re still on the fence, you can book a free discovery call with Alice to go over your project and see what we can do for you.

We find that working with an interior designer saves you money in two key ways:

1) We specify products from high-quality trade suppliers so the price you pay will always be equal to or below the price for a comparable retail product.

2) Our in-depth approach ensures your lifestyle and vision is considered from the get-go, so you won’t be out looking for alternatives.

If you require our services where we handle the ordering and minimal contractor work is involved (such as decoration, small amount of electrical work and joinery) we’d recommend starting our work together at a minimum of 12 weeks before you’d like to move in. This gives us time to really nail your scheme and then juggle the lead times for the products we’re ordering, with a little “just in case” wiggle room worked in too.

Any projects that requires larger contractual work (such as a new bathroom, kitchen, flooring etc.) will require a longer lead time, with the exact amount depending on what it is you’re having done and the suppliers you choose to specify.

In any case, please do get in touch as soon as you can, as we’re often booked up in advance!

Your budget will depend on the size of your space, what you require and our level of involvement. We find that our style for a fully furnished property starts at £40k for a one-bedroom apartment up to large five-bedroom family homes with a £300k+ budget.

Please note: The above budgets are based on homes that do not require structural changes or fixed finishes (eg. kitchens, bathrooms & lighting plans involving extensive electrical works) Any projects which require fixed material specifications or plans for contractor works would require an increase in budget.

Each design we do is unique to the individual and so our design fees naturally reflect this. For a full home, the average fees range between £15k–50k depending on the size of your property and what you require us to do.

We work best with a completely blank canvas, where we source all the products for you. However, we totally get that you may have a key piece that holds a lot of sentimental value, in which case we can absolutely work that into your scheme. We only ask that you provide us with photos and measurements of any existing pieces you’d like us to work with during your initial consultation.

Yes, our process is very hands-on! We would have multiple in-person meetings before the project is signed off, complete with paint and fabric samples so you can see and feel what you’re getting before anything is ordered. Any contractor work would be checked on to ensure the execution is done to the highest standard and the design vision is installed correctly. The install of all items being supplied by FORM would then be carried out by an expert team with Alice present to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Yes – we have a number of contractors and architects we can introduce you to, should your project require it.

We can remain closely involved during all stages of your project, liaising with your appointed contractors, to ensure the design intent is understood and installed out as envisaged.

Please note, while we can work alongside and help keep your project on track with the many spinning plates, you will have direct contracts with each contractor, and pay them directly for the work carried out.
