Design Consultation and Designer for a Day services are suitable for you when you need the expert help of an Interior Designer, but do not want to commit to a large-scale design project.

A Design Consultation can include

We meet either at your home, or at an interior design store in the Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Uusimaa region. A Design Consultation can be provided remotely as well.

This is what my clients say about their experiences

I got a colorful and harmonious living room. It also turned out better than what I could have done on my own. Buying fabric together was a good thing, because if I had gone alone, I wouldn't have been able to wait for the service, but walked out of the store. I wouldn't have found the patterns either. The end result exceeded my expectations. Katja is also really nice to work with.

The choice of materials and colors would not have been so successful without Katja's help. With her help, we dared to make choices that we would not have made without her. The cooperation was smooth and easy in all respects.
