How to Brief an Interior Designer Effectively

How to Brief an Interior Designer Effectively

A clear brief saves time and leads to better results. Before your first meeting, note down how you use the space day to day, which existing elements you want to keep, and any reference images that resonate with you, even if you cannot articulate why.

Choosing Materials That Age Well in a London Home

Choosing Materials That Age Well in a London Home

London light is variable and interiors need to work in both bright summer afternoons and overcast winter days. Natural materials such as stone, solid timber, and textured linens tend to respond well to changing light conditions and improve in character over time.

Making a Commercial Space Work for Your Team and Your Clients

Making a Commercial Space Work for Your Team and Your Clients

A well-designed commercial interior serves two audiences at once: the people who work in it every day and the clients or visitors who form impressions quickly. Identifying which areas are primarily for staff and which are client-facing early in the design process helps resolve layout decisions clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. Velqorinestavia Interior Design Studio works across both residential and commercial properties in London. The approach is consistent in both cases: a bespoke concept, a thoughtful spatial layout, and carefully selected materials, adjusted to suit the specific context of each project.

How do you charge for your services?

Pricing is tailored to each project based on its scope, scale, and the level of service required. After an initial consultation, the studio provides a detailed proposal so you have a clear picture of costs before any work begins.

What does the design process look like from start to finish?

The process moves through four stages: an initial consultation to understand the brief, concept development presenting layout and material direction, detailed design and specification, and finally delivery coordination and handover. You are involved at each stage, and no stage moves forward without your approval.

When is the studio available for consultations?

The studio is open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 15:00. The studio is closed on Sundays. Initial consultations can be arranged by contacting us through the website or by phone.

Can you work with an existing layout or style, or does everything need to start from scratch?

The studio is comfortable working with existing constraints, whether that is a fixed layout, architectural features you want to retain, or furniture and materials you already own. A good brief at the start of the project helps the team understand what is fixed and what is open to redesign.
