How we can save you money by creating your style for less

Written by Sophie Clemson

Have you ever seen your dream interior in a magazine or whilst scrolling Pinterest and think - I would love to achieve that look in my home, but it might also leave you feeling that it’s out of your budget or looks too hard to achieve. That’s where we can help you…

Perhaps it's that boucle sheepskin armchair, perfectly styled in a minimal monochrome living room or a boho bedroom with a gorgeous cane bed that you have seen all over Instagram. This is all great inspiration but it might also leave you feeling that it’s out of your budget or looks too hard to achieve.

Well, we can help! That’s why we call ourselves an affordable online interior design company after all!! We provide you with a design scheme tailored to your budget, whether you have a few hundred pounds for some finishing touches or £3,000 to completely transform the room.

We are proud to have designed hundreds of customers' houses and we have 30 years of design experience between us. During this time we have come across all sorts of different homes with different challenges to overcome. We often hear customers say that they wish they had got us involved at an earlier stage to avoid bad decisions. So we wanted to share with you how we can save you money, by creating your style for less.


We can shop from anywhere

We are free from all constraints, and can shop anywhere for you. Whether you love a supermarket homeware bargain or a touch of high end, we can select products from any store and if you love independents (like we do!) we can find items from these too!

We do all the research

We all know what it's like, when looking for pieces for a room - it can be very easy to look at furniture item by item rather than as a part of a larger room design. You may have the idea that you want a gorgeous scandi sideboard that would make the perfect TV stand (a look we love!) but you are short on time and overwhelmed by choice to find one that suits your budget and the rest of the design. That's where we can help! We do all the research and provide you with a handy shopping list with all the items you need in the room. 

Avoid costly mistakes

As we can design the whole room for you, we can actually save you money in the long run and avoid costly mistakes! You may love to shop for home items, but to your dismay you find that the things that look amazing in the shops don’t quite look right once you get them home. It could be that the perfect sofa you’ve been waiting weeks for, doesn’t really work with the colours in the rest of the room, or some accessories you love turn out to be the wrong size once you see them on your sideboard. We work collaboratively with you to find out exactly what you want for the space and take away the guesswork and the risk. When designing your room we create a moodboard, visualisation, floorplan and layout plan along with style tips so that you get that Instagram worthy new room!

Identify your style

We can help identify your style and really narrow down the look you want to achieve. Let’s face it, how many of us have pinned hundreds of inspirational photos on Pinterest but are still not sure where to begin in achieving your desired look? You can send these to us and we can quickly identify the style you would love for your space.

Getting the layout right

One of the biggest issues our customers face is layout planning - from what size sofa can fit in the room to whether you should go for a double or kingsize bed? We can make sure you get the most out of your space to work for you and your family - especially when it comes to beautiful (but tricky) open plan multifunctional rooms. Our Maxi Living package can really help.
