We here at Kia Designs realise that this can be the biggest decision
since buying your home and we want you to be completely comfortable every
step of the way. Many consumers are somewhat intimidated by the thought of
hiring an interior designer. They worry they'll lose control of the
design, or the budget, and that the finished room may not be to their
liking - we hope to put your mind at rest.

What happens at the initial consultation?
We will sit down (if possible!), preferably at the property in questions, and discuss
the specifications of the project.
There is no obligation with regard to this consultation: its
primary function is to find out your needs and to consider budget and
design issues, it is best if you bring a layout of the property and if
possible some images that inspire you.

You set the budget however, due to our expertise, we can help you set a

Do you do interior design for commercial projects?
We welcome enquiries for commercial projects and are happy to come up
with proposals for individual cases.

What furniture companies do you work with?
We work with thousands of furniture and fabric companies; this allows us
to offer our clients a bespoke service with exclusive and unique
trimmings. Some of our companies are only available direct to the trade
so you won't be seeing them in every high street store! However, if you
have seen a particular piece in a major retailer such as Harrods, Bo
Concept, Lombok, Raft, General trading company, Andrew Martin, Graham
and Green or have fallen in love with a fabric you saw in Living Etc
don't be afraid to tell us and we will be sure to work it into your
scheme! We will literally work with every furniture manufacturer to
create the home that's right for you.
