DESIGN PLANNING
your journey
EVERY HOME starts with a plan.
THE QUESTION IS, WHERE ARE YOU IN YOURS?
Whether you're refreshing a single room, planning a renovation or designing your forever home, choosing the right place to start can often feel overwhelming.
The Design Planning Hub has been created to guide you through the different stages of working together. Each service has been carefully designed to solve a different problem, allowing you to choose the level of support that's right for your project.
If you're unsure where to begin, I recommend downloading my complimentary LABODE Home Investment Guide. Inside you'll find typical room budgets, renovation advice, common mistakes to avoid and investment information for my complete design services.

Our PROCESS
Choosing an interior designer is a personal decision, especially when you’re planning a renovation or build. The questions below are here to offer clarity around how LABODE works, what you can expect, and whether my approach feels right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Virtual interior design works beautifully for clients who value clarity, structure, and professional guidance without the need for ongoing in-person meetings.
All designs are developed using detailed measurements, photographs, and advanced 3D visualisation software. You'll see your space rendered in photorealistic detail and experience it through immersive 360° tours before moving forward.
Many clients find this remote design approach both efficient and reassuring, removing the guesswork that comes with traditional mood boards and 2D plans alone.
-
LABODE is a fully virtual interior design studio.
I work with clients across the UK from Powys and Shropshire to Cheshire and beyond. This allows me to focus deeply on the design itself, rather than logistics or travel. It also means your location doesn't limit your access to specialist 3D visualisation expertise.
You're welcome to share the final designs with your architect, builder, or suppliers as your renovation or new build progresses.
-
The process is guided and structured.
You'll be invited to review the design at defined stages through our online portal, provide focused feedback, and approve the direction before we move forward.
Clients who enjoy this remote design process are comfortable trusting professional judgement and appreciate having clear points for input rather than ongoing decision-making at every turn.
-
Each virtual interior design service includes a limited number of revisions at specific stages.
These are intended for refinement, not redesign.
This structure helps keep the process calm, focused, and efficient while ensuring the design remains cohesive and considered.
Additional revisions may be available by arrangement, subject to availability and scope.
-
That’s very common and absolutely fine.
My role is to guide you toward a design direction that feels right for your home, your lifestyle, and the way you want the space to function.
You don’t need to have all the answers at the beginning, just an openness to a guided process and trust in professional direction.
-
Yes. Many projects involve working around existing pieces, architectural features, or practical constraints.
These details are considered carefully during the briefing stage so the design feels resolved and realistic to your actual situation.
-
Yes. Kitchens and bathrooms require additional technical consideration and are quoted separately following review of your project details.
These spaces involve more complex spatial planning, technical specifications and sourcing, so they're scoped individually to ensure the appropriate level of detail and 3D visualisation resolution.
-
LABODE provides interior design direction, spatial planning layouts, and photorealistic 3D visualisation.
I do not provide architectural drawings, construction documentation, or contractor management.
Your final designs, including measured plans and specifications, can be shared with your architect, builder, or trades to support the next stage of your renovation or build project.
-
If your renovation or new build project changes significantly after work has begun, we'll discuss the best way to move forward.
Additional work is always agreed in advance, so expectations remain clear on both sides and the process stays structured.
-
Complete Virtual Interior Design projects are limited and often booked in advance.
If you're planning a renovation or new build, I recommend enquiring as early as possible, particularly if you have a preferred timeframe or seasonal deadline.
-
Collaborative, honest and straightforward.
I'm here to guide the process, bring clarity to design decisions, and keep things moving without unnecessary complexity.
The virtual design process is structured to reduce overwhelm, not add to it.
-
All projects begin with an application.
This allows me to understand your renovation or new build project, confirm whether the service and timing are the right fit, and ensure I can deliver the level of focus your project deserves.
If accepted, you'll receive a proposal outlining the scope, investment, and next steps.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT VIRTUAL INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICE
The most successful projects are built on trust, clarity, and a shared understanding of the process.
If you're looking for immersive 3D visualisation and spatial planning for your renovation or new build delivered with care, structure, and professional expertise, I'd welcome the opportunity to understand more about your project.
