So I'm about to drive to a big next about 7 miles away ... Hope they have something?!?! Unfortunately the nearest dunelm is too far !

I'm in the Glasgow area and a 1st appointment is always free. 1 Hour consultation. It's a fairly standard practice. Most interior designers will work within your budget and in lots of cases can save you money by saving you masses of time and avoiding expensive mistakes .

Hello R Countryside, In terms of designing any one aspect of your home, I would be looking at the entire project in order to be best informed as to how to treat any one area. Having a cohesive scheme throughout gives not only a well thought and professional finish to a home but provides flow throughout.. I would be focusing on you and your home in order to give you the designed home you really want. Tapping into what you really like-Taking into consideration how you use your home and the needs and requirements you have for it. My idea of kitchen for example has none of the betty crocker elements but offers a more stylish ideal as to what a kitchen needs to be so you don't get something that is the same as every other, so it's a beautiful room in its own right.... For truly stylish design you need someone who's looking at every aspect not just spatially.. My range of services include design, styling, specification and procurement.. Also consider if you're working with any existing pieces or furnishings as these need to be woven into the scheme beautifully... :))

Thanks Petra, I am not very good at interior design, I see a lot of things on Houzz and think how on earth have they pulled that off!! if i was to try it, it would look awful!! I would say my previous work in the other house was nice and family normal, but this one with it being quite large and for us expensive we want it to look that way and not just nice and normal but I'm struggling everywhere!! it's great if you have buckets of money but if not it poses it's challenges, not impossible but challenging. yes good spot on the architrave that is being replaced to match upstairs which is flat and about 75mm wide, it looks more modern. thank you again for your contributions it's all very much appreciated from everyone who has take time out to reply
