Working with us

Discover how Studio by Faber creates bespoke interior design solutions for homes, offices, retail spaces, and commercial projects across the UK.

What types of projects do you work on?

We design a wide range of interiors, including private homes, apartment renovations, retail interiors, office fit-outs, and other commercial spaces. Whether it’s a full property refurbishment, a shop redesign, or a single-room makeover, we create tailored design solutions to suit your style, budget, and goals.

Do you only work in the local area?

No. While Studio by Faber is based in Leicester, we work on interior design projects across the UK and, in some cases, internationally. We can work in person or provide a complete online interior design service for remote clients.

Do you take on small projects?

Yes. From one-room residential makeovers to boutique office design, we offer interior design services for projects of all sizes.

Process & Services

From concept to completion, we offer a full interior design service that can be tailored to residential and commercial projects of any scale.

What is your design process?

Our interior design process usually includes:

1. An initial design consultation to discuss your brief, budget, and style preferences.

2. Concept development – mood boards, space planning, visuals and colour schemes.

3. Detailed design – technical drawings, lighting design, and materials specification.

4. Implementation support – liaising with contractors, trades, and suppliers to ensure the design is delivered perfectly.

We can manage the entire design and fit-out process or provide you with a detailed plan to implement yourself.

Can you manage the whole project for me?

Yes. We offer full interior design project management for residential and commercial projects, overseeing everything from concept to completion so you have one point of contact.

Can you work with my architect or builder?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with architects, builders, and specialist contractors to ensure the design intent is achieved.

Do you offer a consultation-only service?

Yes. Our one-off design consultations are perfect if you just need expert advice or guidance on layouts, finishes, or furniture selection.

Costs & Budget

We offer flexible, transparent interior design fees to suit projects of all sizes, from single rooms to large commercial fit-outs.

How much does an interior designer cost?

Our interior design fees vary depending on project size and complexity. We offer fixed-fee packages for defined scopes, or hourly rates for more flexible work. After an initial call, we provide a detailed, tailored proposal.

Can you work to my budget?

Yes. We create designs that work within your budget, sourcing cost-effective alternatives where needed while ensuring the look and feel you want.

Will hiring an interior designer save me money?

Often, yes. We help you avoid costly mistakes, source trade-only furniture and finishes, and make smart design decisions that add long-term value to your home or business.

Design Details

Our design expertise covers everything from bespoke furniture to layered lighting schemes that elevate the mood and function of your space.

Can you help with lighting design?

Yes. We specialise in layered lighting design to improve mood, functionality, and style in residential and commercial interiors.

Can you design bespoke furniture or joinery?

Absolutely. We create custom furniture and joinery designs to suit your exact space, style, and storage needs.

Can you source furnishings and décor for me?

Yes. We handle furniture sourcing for homes, offices, and retail spaces—often with access to products not available on the high street.

Practicalities

Whether your project is local, nationwide, or remote, we adapt our approach to deliver exceptional interior design without unnecessary stress.

How long will my project take?

Timelines depend on scope. A single-room design might take a few weeks, while a full-scale home renovation or office fit-out could take several months.

Do you work evenings or weekends?

We work primarily during office hours but can arrange meetings at times that suit you.

Do you offer remote or online design services?

Yes. Our virtual interior design service means we can deliver complete design packages, drawings, and supplier lists without needing to be on site.
