Project Consultation
A well-designed home that feels just “you” is easy to live in and a powerful tool to support your wellbeing.
Every interior design project begins with a 2 hour consultation to talk about your home, quandaries and what you’re hoping to achieve. A questionnaire will be sent in advance in order for me to come to the meeting well prepared and make the best use of our time together.
We’ll discuss your focus areas, priorities and how to incorporate anything you already own, as well as have a general chat on design aesthetic likes / dislikes to discover your unique design style.
This fact-finding meeting will be followed up with a written report summarising the discussion with recommendations and inspiration images, as well as proposing a design package that is most suitable for you and your home.

“Sarah has given us the confidence and ambition to add more colour to our home”
★★★★★
“Sarah arrived absolutely laden with wallpaper, paint and fabric samples for our 2 hour colour consultation. She asked a number of questions to understand our likes and dislikes and the resulting mood board a few days later showed that she had listened to every word as it was all reflected there. I feel like I have a better grasp on how to use different colours, patterns and textures to create a space that really reflects us as a family. Sarah has given us the confidence and ambition to add more colour to our home”

FAQs
-
An interior designer is trained to identify a client’s needs and desires to create a design and understand how to bring it to fruition. It can reduce the stress of home renovations, save you time and even help you avoid making costly mistakes by helping you to make the right decisions first time around. At Chez Baker, we understand how to create a liveable space that’s both practical and attractive. We’re trained to tease out what you might know you want, and translate that into a personal and cohesive scheme.
-
Working with Chez Baker, the process is enjoyable and stress free. As well as taking away those overwhelming decisions, you’ll save time by working with a professional that can pre-empt obstacles and produce a scheme that answers your brief with unexpected solutions. Whether you’re looking for a small space to be transformed or a full house renovation, all projects are equally as important to us.
-
All of our projects are a collaboration with our clients and you can be involved as much or as little as you want to be. During our initial consultation we’ll talk about your communication preferences and how involved you’d like to be. There are also key stages throughout the project where you can approve where we’re heading to ensure that you’re always 100% happy.
-
Prior to our meeting you will receive a client questionnaire which will need to be completed in advance of us meeting face-to-face. It covers topics such as why you like or dislike certain aspects of the room, functionality and aesthetics and what your project goals are. This questionnaire will then act as our agenda to talk through during our first meeting. We will build on your answers to gain a really in-depth understanding about how you live or want to live and it’s the first step in creating your joyful home. If you have an idea of the kind of style you like, you’re welcome to gather ideas using Pinterest, magazine cuttings or anything else you’ve spotted, but don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start, that’s why I’m here.
