Our Method
Editorial · How commissions unfold · Cardiff studio
First correspondence
You write or call with postcode, room list, and rough timing. We reply within two working days with available visit slots and the consultation tier that fits — usually £95 for one room or £220 for a ground-floor walkthrough.
No deposit is required for single visits; packages request forty percent on booking.
Home survey and listening
Elin or Marcus arrives with a tape measure, light meter, and notebook — not a sales catalogue. We photograph alcoves, note where children do homework, and ask which pieces you want to keep.
Victorian terraces in Cathays often reveal surprises behind radiators; we document those before suggesting furniture widths.

Layout sketches and palettes
Within five working days you receive a PDF with scaled furniture outlines, paint references, and textile direction. Packages include two rounds of email adjustments; further changes are quoted at £45 per hour.
We link to Cardiff-friendly suppliers where possible, though you remain free to shop elsewhere.
Implementation at your pace
Most families spread purchases over six to twelve weeks. We do not project-manage trades, but we can suggest local painters and curtain makers we have worked with in Roath and the Bay.
Final styling visits — arranging art, cushions, and lamps — can be added for £150 when the heavy pieces are in place.
Closing notes and archive
Every commission ends with a one-page summary stored in our files in case you return for another room later. We do not publish client names without written consent; case files on this site use neighbourhood labels only.
Questions after delivery? Email [email protected] and we answer within three working days at no charge for six months.
