Full Room Design vs Interior Design Consultation: Which Do You Need?

Not sure whether you need a full interior design service or a one-off consultation? In this weeks blog we help you work out which is right for your project, your budget, and where you are right now.

You know you want help. But what kind?

This is one of the questions we get asked most at The Living House - and it's a good one. Because choosing the wrong type of support at the wrong moment can leave you spending money you didn't need to, or - worse - not getting nearly enough help when you really needed it.

Move forward with confidence knowing you have a layout that works ⬇️

Our customers wanted a space that was cosy, family-friendly space for evening relaxation with a wall-mounted TV and smart sofa placement that suited the narrow layout.

So we stepped in with The Layout Fix 👏

By rethinking the layout, zoning the space properly, and making smart use of storage, we helped turn a tricky room into one that finally works as it should.
From maximising the light from the bay window, adding built-in storage, and space for discreet working, it all came together with a thoughtful layout.

If a room in your home isn’t quite working for you, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

💬 Send us a DM with “layout” to begin!

Whether it’s a living room, bedroom, or any awkward space, we’ll help you make it work ✨

“I could not recommend these girls enough.”

Ally, our lovely client came to us as she’s in the planning stages of her self build, unsure whether their floorplan would actually work for their lifestyle. After just one Power Hour session, she walked away with:

✅ A detailed action plan with drawn-to-scale furniture
✅ A clear picture of wasted space they never would’ve spotted alone
✅ Thousands saved on costly mistakes before they happened

The best part? It’s not just about making things look beautiful - it’s about making your home work for you.

If you’re building or renovating and not 100% sure your plans are working as hard as they could be, this is your sign. 👇

DM us ‘RENO’ and we will be in touch.

What people think interior designers do vs what we actually do 👀

One call saved our customer from an extension they didn’t need. 🏠

They came to us with plans forming and a budget ready to go. Convinced that building out was the only option.

In 60 minutes, Catherine and Becky helped them see their home completely differently - a new layout, a smarter use of the existing space, and the confidence to scrap the extension entirely.

Here’s what they said:

✨ “I had a Power Hour call with Catherine and Becky and cannot express how valuable it was to our project. They helped me reevaluate the space and proposed a few layouts that worked so much better! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for design and interiors inspiration.”

This is what we do. We don’t just tell you what looks nice - we ask the harder questions. Do you actually need that extension? Is your space already capable of more than you think?

More often than not, the answer surprises people.

If you’re planning a renovation or extension, speak to us first. It could be the most valuable hour you spend on your entire project.

Here are 3 pieces Sophie has brought for her own nursery that she’s loves!

1. A beautiful changing mat from with a Harlequin print. It’s fun and contemporary!

2. A fabulous, affordable woven trunk from that fits perfectly behind the door. It’s ideal for storing nappies.

3. A gorgeous scalloped ceiling light from with a soft diffuser, it gives off the gentle glow.

If you’re currently designing your nursery and something isn’t quite working — whether it’s the layout, colour palette, or the whole room — we’d love to help.

Before you decorate your home, do this first 🎨

Things like colour choices, lighting direction, and paint finishes all play a bigger role than you think.

Interior designers always start here, and it makes all the difference.

Your forever home shouldn’t be designed alone at 10pm.

You already know what you love. The saved posts, the screenshots.

But designing your forever home alone?�That’s where it starts to feel overwhelming.

All the decisions.�All the second-guessing.�All happening late at night, when you’re already exhausted.

Because creating a home you’ll live in for years shouldn’t feel like something you have to figure out by yourself.

What’s been missing isn’t vision.�It’s having the right person in your corner, someone to guide you, simplify it all, and help you move forward with confidence.

So you can finally stop circling ideas…�and start creating a home that feels like yours the moment you walk in.

If you’re ready to stop designing your forever home alone… we should talk.

Why is picking a paint colour so hard? We need to talk about this. ⬇️

Some brands have over 40 shades of white — and that’s just white. Add every brand, every tone, every finish… and you’re suddenly facing thousands of choices before you’ve even picked up a brush.

And each tin of quality paint can cost £70+. Get it wrong and you’re rebuying. Repainting. Losing a whole weekend, or paying your decorator to come back and fix it.

Sound familiar? “I’ll just order a few tester pots…”
Fast forward and you’ve got 10 tester pots later, £50+ gone, walls looking like a modern art experiment, and you’re still no closer to a decision.

That’s exactly why we created The Colour Fix.

A personalised colour palette for your room, carefully chosen by a colour professional, just for you.

For only £180, you get a palette you’ll love and know will work with zero wasted money on the wrong shades. (That’s less than 3 tins of premium paint.)

Stop guessing. Start loving your space.

Comment “COLOUR” for the next steps to finally have a colour scheme that works!
