PD - FAQ

Why should I hire an interior designer?

An interior designer can professionally assess your situation that leads to a more efficient floor plan and layout. The interior scheme is also thought of as a whole providing a well rounded scheme as a finished project. This process allows you to spend your budget more efficiently saving you time, costs, and hassle.

What type of projects do you take on?

We offer a turn- key service from an initial interior design concept to furniture delivery and home styling of residential interiors, office spaces, store and showroom interiors.

Can interior designer save me money?

Hiring a designer can help you to avoid costly mistakes that will not only reduce your costs and inconveniences, but also interior design can increase the value of your home. We can secure you trade discounts saving you project costs through our b2b contacts. Special pricing can apply to everything from fixtures to furniture and décor.

What happens at the first consultation?

Our initial consultation is usually a phone call or site visit to understand the client's project expectations and to discuss the scope of work and timeline.

What are the differences between bespoke, made to measure, and off-peg/ RTW?

Bespoke

Bespoke garments are tailored to the individual's measurements with various fittings for a perfect fit. The design, silhouette, fabric can all be specified and decided by the client.

Made to Measure

MTM garments can be tailored using the clients measurements and the garments arrived fully stitched. Minor changes such as the sleeve length and trouser length can be adjusted.

The design of the garment can also be decided by the client.

Off peg / ready to wear

Off the peg/ RTW are existing garments you find in stores which come as standard sizes such as UK 10 / Size 44.

What is the shopping experience like?

Let's start from an Initial Consultation to discuss your preferences and personal requirements. We take measurements, note your complexion and colours. We want to understand you as an individual to get the best results.

Using our consultation notes we create digital mood boards including items designed just for you and/or items from existing brands. After you choose your favourite set, we are ready to make or purchase garments for you.

All you have to do is try it on. Keep what you love and let us take care of the returns and any tailoring to perfect your style.

What if I decide I would like to cancel my bespoke or MTM garment?

We make every effort to accommodate our clients to the extent reasonably possible.

Once a bespoke or MTM garment is placed and a deposit is paid, we immediately order your fabric and book with the tailors. For this reason, if you decide to cancel the order there will be a charge to cover the fabric and tailoring cost.

How do I get started?

Where can I collect my garments?

Once your final order is ready you can collect it from our office in London or we can arrange for it to be delivered to your home, office, or wherever you require.
