Our Services
Full Interior Design Service
This service is aimed at clients who are looking for help on all aspects of a project and is centred around combining your vision with our expertise. We would work with your architect and builder from conception to completion to help create a home you are truly proud of, designed to perfectly suit the way you live. It’s worth bearing in mind that the best results are achieved when the interior designer is part of the team from the beginning of a project. We are a small company and can get booked up so if you’re considering using our services, contact us ASAP!
If you are still in the early stages of planning a renovation project, we can help you build a team of architects, builders and craftsmen including joiners and soft furnishers to help you complete your project.
Fee proposals are provided on a case-by-case basis. If you have a project you would like to discuss, please get in touch: studio@lucyvdg.com
Interior Design Consultation
If you do not require a full interior design service, we can still help! From choosing paint colours, creating a colour scheme, selecting fabrics, furniture, rugs, light fittings and artwork, we are happy to advise on an hourly basis and answer any questions you may have. Renovating and redecorating your home can be surprisingly overwhelming with endless decisions to make on things you may not know much about. Our experience, trusted contacts and suppliers can help make this process run smoothly, avoiding expensive mistakes and last-minute decisions.
Our initial consultation meeting can be online or at our London studio in Tooting Bec. We are here to help solve all your dilemmas that may arise during renovation. During this meeting, next steps on how we can work together as your project moves forward can be discussed. It’s worth noting that as a consultation client, you will also benefit from exclusive trade discounts on any items ordered on your behalf by our team.
The initial one-hour consultation fee is £135/hr plus VAT and £90/hr plus VAT will be charged for any subsequent hours. Prior to the consultation you will have answered a questionnaire and provided us with as much information as possible including any plans and drawings, photographs and inspiration. The more information you can provide before our meeting, the better the outcome. We will read through all the information provided before the consultations starts which is why the initial hour is more expensive.
As a rough guide, please allow approximately one hour per room for consultation meetings.
