How long does a typical design project take?
The timeline for a design project depends on its size and complexity. Full Service Interior Design projects can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on factors like construction, lead times for materials, and furniture procurement. Virtual Interior Design projects typically take less time, as we provide you with a design plan that you can implement at your own pace. After our consultation, we’ll provide a clear timeline based on your specific project.
What is your interior design style?
At SJ Interior Designs, our style is rooted in creating timeless and functional spaces that feel both modern and classic. We believe in tailoring each design to the client's personal style and lifestyle needs, ensuring that every space is unique. While we draw inspiration from various design styles, we prioritise cohesive, balanced designs that will remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
How does the design process work?
Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs, style, and budget. We’ll then develop a personalised design plan, including layouts, finishes, and recommendations. For Full Service projects, we manage every aspect of the process from start to finish. For Virtual Design, we provide you with the design plan so you can handle the implementation.
How do you charge for your services?
We offer Virtual Interior Design at a flat rate for simplicity and transparency. For Full Service Interior Design, we charge an hourly rate, which varies depending on the complexity and scope of your project. In general, design services account for about 10% of the overall project budget. Once we receive your project details, we’ll provide a tailored estimate.
Can I be involved in the design process?
Yes! We encourage clients to be as involved as they’d like. Some prefer to collaborate closely, while others leave the details to us. Whether you want to be hands-on or prefer us to take the lead, we’ll tailor the experience to your preferences.
Do you only work in the UK, or do you take on projects elsewhere?
While we’re based in Winchester, we offer Virtual Interior Design services nationwide. This allows us to work with clients remotely and deliver the same level of detail and customisation no matter where they’re located.
