What is online holistic interior design?
Online holistic interior design is an interior design service provided remotely, focused on supporting your wellbeing with spaces being beautiful and functional (interior design) and nurturing your body, mind and soul (holistic approach). This approach gives you the flexibility of having things done in your own time and from the comfort of your home as all contact is done via email and phone. With everything done digitally, you are also cutting down on costs such as consultations, home or site visits, travel expenses etc. making it a more affordable and less intimidating option.
What holistic tools do you use?
I use a combination of proven design and architectural tools such as lighting, acoustics, air quality, sustainable materials, connection to nature as well as Feng Shui to support your physical and emotional wellbeing.
What is Feng Shui and how can it help me?
Feng Shui is a holistic design process similar to Environmental Psychology, where harmonious environments are designed based on the understanding of how people are connected to and affected by their surroundings. Feng Shui is not a magical solution but by introducing specific changes and adjustments into your environment, good energy is brought in and your space better supports you.
How does E-Design work?
Online interior design is very easy! I have highlighted the different steps for you below.
- Complete the questionnaire
- Purchase your E-Design package
- Send me photos of the space, as well as the measurements
- Collaborate with me on Pinterest, I will create a private board for your project
- Book your 30 minutes video consultation call
- Finalise creating your brief with me during our call
- Await your design
How long will it take?
Depending on the complexity of your design and my current workload, you can expect a one to three weeks lead time per room on average, and from the moment you have provided me with all the information I need.
How do I measure my room?
Once you have purchased your E-Design package, I will send you my Room Measurement Guide explaining it all, giving you an example that you can follow and apply to your own room.
Do you offer home or site visits?
I will guide you through the different steps of the E-Design process to make it easy but if you would prefer me coming to your home that can be arranged and an hourly rate would be applied. Please note this is location dependent and might not always be possible.
Do I get access to trade discounts?
Yes! Where a trade account is set up, I pass on my full discount directly to you. That’s another benefit of online design without procurement, we cut on those costs and you get more for your budget!
Can you work with my existing furniture?
Yes, of course! We can include them in the new design unless they are not going to fit into your new interior. In any case, I will advise you with my professional opinion.
What kind of budgets do you work with?
All! You set your budget and the specifications are done to meet it, whether it means choosing items from the high street, designer pieces or even bespoke solutions.
Can you buy items on my behalf and install everything for me?
I do not offer procurement services (buying items on your behalf and installing them) for the very good reason that I want to empower you in this fun and highly satisfying process! Instead I provide you with a detailed design package and shopping list, with which you are able to buy directly online and / or place your order with suppliers and bring the design to life.
How do I receive my design?
Once your design is ready, you will receive an email with your design pack!
Can I use your services if I don't live in the UK?
My services are available worldwide and when it comes to specifying products you can either choose suppliers based in the UK but shipping worldwide or suppliers based in your own country. Being from a French background, designs can also be delivered in French, on request and at no extra cost.
What if I don't like my design?
By listening to my clients in the early stages of the design process, I make sure we are on the same page and create a design based on your brief, your preferences and your budget. If however you are not happy with it, please let me know so I can address it in the best possible way.
