What is an ‘Hourly Interior Design Session’?

When setting up Violet James Studio, I really wanted to try and help as many people as possible create a home they love, and that meant offering a variety of services, so that we could assist no matter where you are on your design journey. From regular blog posts sharing our design knowledge, to hourly design sessions and full renovation and interior design packages.

Today’s blog is all about ‘Hourly Design Sessions’. We introduced this service as we wanted to make great design accessible, without the time and cost commitments of undertaking a full project, so we can use our hourly design sessions to work on any problem area of your home.

Whether you need a colour consultation to take the stress out of selecting your finish direction, or a little help designing a functional furniture plan that maximises the space, or you’d just like to bounce your questions off a professional on a Q&A site walk through, we can help. Alternatively, if you have a big design decision to make, perhaps you’re debating whether to paint your kitchen cabinets navy or cream, our quick photo editing service can take the guessing out of the decision for you. (You can see an example below, we helped this client finalise her paint colour and island feature finish.)

So, how does it work? You simply drop us an email with what you need help with, the more details the better to enable us to prepare for the session. We’ll bring along samples, paint charts, ideas - whatever we think is needed to make our session as productive as possible!

We know these sessions can be overwhelming, so we take notes throughout and send you a detailed follow up summary with links to anything we discussed.

With 10 years experience and a trusted network of suppliers and tradespeople, we can tackle almost any design challenge - so we’d love to know yours!

Virtual sessions: £85 | In person sessions: £145

Both include a follow up summary, and as we love to work with our local community, travel is also included for all homes within 2 miles of our Queen’s Park office.
