Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know before working with an interior designer, answered honestly. If your question isn’t here, we’d love to hear from you.
Far more than choosing cushions. We take a home from bare walls and open questions to a finished, considered space, space planning, concept and mood direction, bespoke joinery, materials and finishes, lighting design, sourcing, and the coordination of every trade and maker. The result is a home that's cohesive, beautifully made and genuinely tailored to how you live, rather than assembled piece by piece.
It depends entirely on the scope. As a guide to the wider UK market, single-room design often runs from £2,500 to £5,000, and full-service projects from around £5,000 upwards depending on size and ambition. At Cheshire Property Studio, our online design service starts from £220, and full-service projects are quoted individually after a free consultation, so you know exactly what you're committing to before anything begins. We're always open about budget from the very first conversation.
We're based in Hale and design interiors throughout Cheshire and the North West, including Hale Barns, Bowdon, Altrincham, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Knutsford and Bramhall. We also take on full-service projects across the wider UK, and our online design service means we can help wherever you are.
Full-service is our complete, hands-on service: we design and manage every stage of your project from concept to completion. Online design is built for a smaller renovation or a single room, you get full design direction (floor plans, material selections and sourcing), and from there you handle the ordering, installation and coordination on your own timeline. It's a lovely way to get expert guidance on one space at a time.
Every project starts with a free consultation to understand your home, your brief and how you want to live. From there we develop a full concept, space planning, mood boards, materials and bespoke joinery, before moving into sourcing, procurement and the coordination of trades and makers. Nothing moves forward without your approval at each stage, and we finish with the styling that brings it all together.
Yes. Our initial consultation is free and there's no obligation, it's simply a friendly, honest conversation about your home, your project and whether we're the right fit for each other. You're welcome to bring any inspiration you've gathered, and it helps to have a rough budget in mind.
It depends on the scope. An online design package is usually a matter of weeks, while a full-service renovation or new build runs over several months, in step with your builder's programme. We give you a realistic timeline from the outset and build in a little contingency, because in residential design things rarely run perfectly to schedule.
Absolutely. Whether it's a single, considered room or a whole-house renovation, we'd love to help. Our online design service is ideal for one to six rooms, and our full-service team regularly takes on individual spaces as well as complete homes.
Yours, always. The best designers don't impose a signature look, they listen carefully and translate what you love into a scheme that's right for your home and your life. What runs through all our work is a consistent level of quality and attention to detail, not a single aesthetic. A good brief is the foundation of everything, so we spend real time understanding you first.
On a full-service project, yes. We liaise directly with builders, joiners and specialist trades so you don't have to coordinate across multiple conversations, and so the design is delivered exactly as intended. Having one studio holding the standard from start to finish is what makes the whole process feel calm.
Yes. Alongside private homes we work with property developers on new builds and with business owners on commercial spaces, from clinics and salons to hospitality, including our work for Bank Medi Spa in Hale.
Simply send us an enquiry with a few words about your home and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll be in touch within 24 hours to arrange your free, no-obligation consultation.
