Interior design service
Our team of designers can offer a solution to any design requirement which, in isolation, is invaluable. The initial consultancy meeting will involve a flow of ideas and concepts for your project. Every project is unique and governed by numerous variables so we endeavour to create a bespoke design support strategy with mutual understanding of what is required. The project’s billable hours will include the initial consultancy meeting, studio design work and client site visits which, by their nature, will vary depending on the size of the project.
Small consultancy projects typically involve a 2 hour initial meeting, 5 – 10 studio hours for layout and spatial distribution work, followed by 4 – 6 on-site hours at the client’s discretion. Larger consultancy projects require more hours at all stages and the very smallest can be simply the initial consultancy meeting and nothing else, where a very small area is considered.
The design process can’t start without a consultancy first. This initial meeting helps us to map out your requirements as well as get to know what styles you are most keen on. We can then recommend some options and expert advice for the project that will work within your budget. We are happy to work alongside any building team you may have and will provide a full design brief that has been specifically tailored to your project. As you can see from our case studies and videos we have worked on a wide range of projects, anything from small to large and everything in between. Our interior design projects are tailored to you and we provide you with a step by step guide of how to achieve your dream home.

Remote interior design
Technology in terms of ease of video transferral and existing floor plan availability on sites such as Right move and Zoopla have seen a positive new section to our industry develop, namely remote design work. Where you can send us photos and video by all the usual mediums of what's app, drop box, Vimeo, as well as access to existing floor plans you have or to your style of property and it's location through property sites (as mentioned above) and we can create a design package to suit you.
- We sketch draw floor plan layouts to scale. From: redistribution within the existing constraints, to plans that look at the best way to maximise your property upon your plot (which offer the most creative and logical ways to optimise, extend and redistribute space over all your Floors and including your outdoor space), and everything in between giving you a variety of different options to fit different budgets. For this we charge £600 + vat.
- We can then offer a more advanced package that does the layouts then goes further to recommend the treatment for each surface and suggested products/furniture to use, with photos and pricing that are referenced to your new designed layouts, whether that be wall, floor, ceiling, opening, threshold, roof, fence, room or garden.

This package will deal with functional, decorative and security lighting and there layout. We then look to design the system on to different zones that can be switched, dimmed and controlled independently from each other creating a variety of lighting scenes for each area of your property.

Our interior design installation service
Bespoke Living by Design is primarily concerned with design and consultancy supporting and developing a client’s vision. We do have our own team of experts to call upon for some aspects of the project and can recommend personnel to tender where required. We are also adept at working with those with whom the client already feels comfortable.
We also offer a vast range of design products for potential purchase.
The term ‘Project Management’ is often misunderstood in many developments. Large projects, by their very nature, usually require a dedicated, experienced project/site manager. However, on small and medium projects, it is often felt that the budget cannot justify such a dedicated role. This important aspect does need to be addressed. Clients may choose to do it themselves and often underestimate their inexperience, the time involved and the inherent stress attached to such a role. Clients may delegate to a builder/contractor, architect, QS or designer. In each case they will tender for the responsibility in addition to their specific quotes as it is a job in itself and needs to be considered as such. Projects fail when this is overlooked, costs mount, build times escalate and stress follows.
If the project is deemed appropriate for ourselves at a given point in time, we can tender for a holistic approach where we take responsibility for the project management.
Our maintenance service
Properties always require a level of maintenance as they are in constant use and, in some shape or form, ever evolving. Over time products wear, things can be damaged and priorities change.
The key factor is maintaining healthy client relationships. We can offer recently launched product innovations, updates and new season launches. In this digital age we offer troubleshooting support for programming, electrical services and advice.

Get in touch with us
So yes great designers know their space and can easily do it on their own, project dependent, but also integrate where necessary with like minded architects, who generally come with a slightly more exact mind and the designer at the top of his game with a slightly more imaginative mind by nature. However there are many interior designers out there who profess to have these skills and actually don't. Read more
