Questions about the Interior Direction Session
Do you source and buy furniture for me?
No. This session sets the direction and priorities. Full interior design services are quoted separately.
Can I book before the house is finished?
Yes, and it is a good time. Decisions about lighting, power points and finishes are easier to change before the build reaches them.
Do I need drawings?
No. Photos, a plan or a description are enough.
Is the fee credited if I proceed to interior design?
Yes. If you book design with Aalis Studios within 90 days, the session fee is credited in full against the design fee.
