Having managed to escape to my haven of tranquillity in Southern Spain, I’ve had time to reflect on my journey of launching a new business in recent times.

I chose a time in my life that felt right to launch my business, however, unfortunately for me, and no doubt millions of other people, we’ve been hit by this horrendous pandemic.

In addition to the challenges of any young business, I’ve had to navigate my way around how to provide a super personal service in a ‘not’ so personal environment of social distancing and lockdowns. I had to ask myself how could I thrive in the midst of this crisis, how will it change the interiors industry, will customers still want a service, what other aspects will it impact in my industry?

Fortunately for me, I have, thankfully, been working on new projects. Maybe it’s been people spending hours on end in the same space that has determined how their environment makes them feel, or it might be the realization of how important the function of their home is, that has made them reach out for help. Whatever reason, I am grateful as designing a space to enhance how that makes my clients’ feel in their home is key to any project.

Managing my projects safely has been at the forefront of my mind, and having recently stepped out into the big wide world I have managed to put smiles on my clients’ faces by delivering a variety of projects. A popular paid service that I have recently delivered to clients’ in the past few months is a Design Consultation.

An interior Design Consultation gives me the opportunity to see my clients’ home first hand and address their painpoints. I take the time to listen to their issues, likes, dislikes, and learn more about their vision for the space and how it fits in with their lifestyle, and ultimately gauge what guidance they need.

Once the brief is established I will spend time planning the space, from layout to colour schemes, furniture to styling. Based on the clients’ budget I also provide a ‘shopping list’ and visuals of the space before finally presenting. This part of my job gives me so much pleasure, not only do I get to design beautiful spaces but seeing a clients’ reaction is priceless!

Alongside Design Consultations, I also work alongside clients’ through renovations, extensions and new builds, as well as offering a turnkey and styling service for homes and events.
