When considering your budget for your interior design project, it’s important to factor in various aspects. Here are some key points to consider:

• Furniture and accessories: Determine how much you can allocate for purchasing furniture and accessories. This includes items like sofas, tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, rugs, curtains, and decorative pieces.
• Major changes: If you plan on making significant changes to your space, such as replacing furniture, updating electrical components, or installing new window treatments, it’s crucial to inform your designer about your overall budget for these specific areas. This will help them source appropriate items and make design choices that align with your financial constraints.
• Communicate your budget: Be transparent with your designer about your budget limitations. They will appreciate knowing your financial boundaries and can then tailor their design recommendations accordingly. Rest assured that our team thrives on challenges and will work within your budget to create a beautiful and functional design solution.

By considering these aspects and effectively communicating your budget to your designer, they can make informed decisions and ensure that the design process aligns with your financial expectations. Remember, openness and collaboration are key in achieving a design that meets both your aesthetic aspirations and budgetary constraints.

For clients who have purchased the refresh package, it’s important to note that no modifications can be made once the initial consultation has taken place.

Should you wish to make changes beyond that point, an additional fee will be incurred to cover the extra time required.

However, for clients who have opted for the revive and reinvent package, you have the flexibility to make adjustments to your project until the second consultation, during which your floor plans will be finalised and approved.

After this stage, no further changes can be accommodated, and any requested modifications will be subject to an additional time charge.

Yes, we do have relationships with certain brands that allow us to pass trade discounts on to you. Currently, our selection of discounted brands is limited, but we’re continuously working to form more relationships with additional brands.

As an affordable interior design service, we do not offer project management services where we take full control and order furniture on your behalf. However, we’re here to make the process easier for you. We’ll provide you with a shopping list that includes up to 10 items needed for your project. All you have to do is click the provided links and make the purchases directly from the respective websites. This way, you have the flexibility to manage the ordering process while we guide you with the necessary information.

If you have concerns about taking measurements, our welcome guide includes helpful tools and instructions to guide you through the process accurately. We are committed to ensuring that you receive a high-quality design service, even without a physical visit to your home.

During the entirety of the design service, your designer is readily available for communication through WhatsApp. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries or concerns you may have.

Additionally, your designer will keep you updated on the progress of your design and may seek your input or clarification through WhatsApp to ensure the final design meets your expectations and satisfaction.

To make the most of your collaboration with a designer, it’s essential to share as much information as possible. Don’t hold back – the more, the better! We genuinely appreciate your honesty about your likes and dislikes. Being transparent with us will ensure that you’re happier with the final design.

Another key factor is your active involvement. If you can respond quickly to our messages on WhatsApp, you’ll have a fantastic experience working with us.

Absolutely! We’re more than happy to design unique furniture to fit those tricky spaces you might have. We’ll provide you with floor plans and 3D renders, which you can share with your contractor to convey your vision.

But remember, the contractor will need to take final measurements to create the actual piece. Our floor plans are just for visualisation, not for making the bespoke furniture itself.

For a speedy response, feel free to give us a call on 020 3535 9552 or send us a message on WhatsApp at 07427 478 506. If you prefer email, you can reach us at info@aidyl.co.uk. We’re always available and eager to help you out!

Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we strive to ensure that you love your design. Rest assured, we have measures in place to address any concerns you may have.

To begin, we initiate an in-depth initial consultation to fully understand your needs, desires, and the unique aspects of your space. This allows us to establish a solid foundation for the design process. As part of our Revive & Reinvent package, we offer a second consultation where we present you with concepts and room layouts for your approval. This ensures that you have a say in the direction of the design before proceeding further.

Throughout the entire journey, we maintain regular communication via WhatsApp. This enables us to constantly align with your vision, clarify any doubts, and seek your approval on various design elements. We value your input and believe that collaboration is key to achieving exceptional results.

However, if you find yourself dissatisfied with the design even after these comprehensive steps, we offer a revision option at an additional cost. This allows us to make the necessary adjustments and refinements based on your feedback, ensuring that the final result meets your expectations.

Our ultimate goal is to create a design that you absolutely adore, and we are committed to going above and beyond to achieve that.
