Design service
Online design consultation
Advice on your space without a full design engagement. Share photos, measurements or a project from Arcvelle Studio, and talk through layout, colour, lighting and furniture choices with a designer.
How does an online interior design consultation work?
An online consultation is a remote session with a designer about a room or home. You send photos, measurements or an Arcvelle Studio project in advance, then talk through layout, colour, lighting and furniture questions. Afterwards you receive written notes and, where useful, a marked-up plan or a revised Studio project to work from.
What it covers
- Review of your photos, measurements or Arcvelle Studio project before the session
- A remote session focused on the questions you send in advance
- Advice on layout, colour, lighting, materials and furniture
- Suggestions for what to keep, change or prioritise within your budget
What you receive
- Written notes summarising the advice
- A marked-up plan or revised Studio project where useful
- A list of suggested next steps
Suits you if
- People designing their own space who want a second opinion
- Arcvelle Studio users who want feedback on a layout or scheme
- Homes where a site visit is not practical
- Small questions that do not need a full design service
Process
How the project runs
Step 1: Brief
You send an enquiry describing the space and the questions you want answered.
Step 2: Prepare
You share photos, rough measurements or a share link to your Arcvelle Studio design, and we review them before the session.
Step 3: Consultation
We talk through your questions and sketch options on the plan where it helps.
Step 4: Follow-up
You receive written notes and any marked-up plans so you can carry on yourself.
Questions
What do I need to prepare for an online consultation?
Photos of the space, approximate measurements and a list of questions are enough. If you have drawn the room in Arcvelle Studio, a share link lets us see the plan and 3D view directly.
How much does an online consultation cost?
Fees are set after the brief, depending on the size of the space and what you want to cover. Send an enquiry with your questions and we will confirm what is involved.
Can a consultation become a full design project?
Yes. If the consultation shows that a full room or home design would help, we can discuss it and set out what it would involve after an updated brief.
Is my Studio project uploaded when I share it?
No. An Arcvelle Studio share link carries the design inside the link itself. It is only seen by whoever you send the link to, including us when you share it for a consultation.
