FAQ
-
Why should I use an Interior Designer?Using an Interior Designer can help you bring a space together within your budget. With the expertise from an interior designer, and the creation of mood boards and visuals, it helps clients see the potential of the room and how items suggested will look, meaning less purchasing twice which gets costly. A designer shows the potential of the largest of items items to the smallest details in the room, they may create ideas and the best use of space that a client didn't see. You may need a designer for staging a house or even for full design, even to the point of knocking/moving wall space to create the best floor plan layout. Every element internally to create a flow throughout a clients home.

What's the benefit from using the online service?The online interior design service is great for keeping a low budget, as it offers the one-off fees with no additional extra fees like travelling, or room dressing. All communication is done through email, meaning a client can pick up information when they get the chance with everything in front of them. We also have communication hours of 10:00-20:00 weekdays, and 11:00-15:00 on Saturdays, so we get back to them quickly. We also send out a fab sample box that has the mood board, visuals, floor plan, samples and shopping list in. This is sent out after we have agreed online all the details and the client is happy. Samples are great to see in the room throughout the day whether they are fabrics, flooring, wallpapers or paint.
-
Do you only have certain styles to work with?No, we can work with any style, even if you are looking for a more unique look. As long as we can find out what your likes and dislikes are we work with the client to find the best design for them.
-
Do I have to use your products?No, we source items to help get the best items and prices for the client. If items are used in the design available from Ka Interiors, we do offer discount when using our interior design services.
-
How does the service work?Online- You choose a service which best suits your needs. We contact you with a few questions regarding your space, likes/dislikes etc. You send us pictures of your room and any images of things you like, measurements of the room, and pictures of items to keep. We start a concept, communicating through email with the client. Once initial ideas have been created using a mood board, we create visuals and a floor plan of the space. (Depending on service chosen) All the information gets sent to you by email (and post if full design service) with a shopping list of everything to order. Home- We book an appointment with the client and spend about an hour or so discussing ideas, like/dislikes etc. We take measurements and photographs of the space. We create ideas using mood board, floor plans and visuals. (Contact for additional information through email/phone may be required). Appointment is made to come out an discuss ideas, any changes to be discussed. If changes are needed these get revised and presented at a third appointment. Once everything is agreed a client may decide to purchase items themselves from the shopping list or ask me to purchase and dress the space when all items have been delivered. Clients may want me to oversee addition work like having the flooring/decoration/fitting done and discuss with tradesmen. (We do recommend a few tradesmen but not all, so we would be liaising with trades you find). (Additional charges apply with the home service)
