One to One Design Consultation

Before we meet, we send you a short questionnaire to gather the context we need to make your consultation as valuable as possible. We ask about your space, your style preferences, what is and is not working, and what you most want to achieve. This preparation means that from the moment we sit down together, the conversation is focused, informed, and entirely relevant to you.

Ina meets with you in person, either at your home or at a suitable location, for a focused and unhurried conversation about your space and your vision. This is your opportunity to share ideas freely, ask questions, and benefit from expert eyes and considered perspective. Ina brings a depth of experience and a genuine curiosity about each client's life and how their home should support it.

Where the consultation takes place in your home, Ina conducts a thorough walkthrough of the spaces you wish to address, assessing layout, light, proportion, and the relationship between existing and potential elements. This direct engagement with your space enables recommendations that are grounded in reality, not abstraction, and tailored to what is genuinely possible within your home.

Drawing on everything discussed and observed, Ina provides clear, tailored recommendations across all relevant areas, from furniture placement and colour palettes to material selections, window treatments, and styling directions. You will leave with a confident creative direction and actionable next steps, along with curated references and suggested sources to help you move forward.

Following your consultation, Ina provides a written summary of the key recommendations and agreed next steps, giving you a clear and practical record to refer back to. Whether you choose to implement the changes independently or proceed to a fuller engagement with Studio Appleby, you will have everything you need to move forward with clarity and confidence.
