Thoughtful styling advice, shaped around your home.
Every room has its own proportions, natural light and practical demands. Our home styling consultations help you consider how furniture, colour, lighting and finishing details can work together, using the space and items you already have wherever possible.
Choose a focused consultation for one room, a more detailed styling discussion, or coordinated advice for several spaces. The exact scope and expected outputs are confirmed before an appointment is arranged.

Advice that starts with the room you actually have.
Good styling is not simply about adding more objects. It can mean reconsidering the route through a room, making better use of existing furniture, bringing colours into balance or identifying a few details that would make the space feel more cohesive.
We begin with your aims, room measurements, photographs, preferred style and stated budget. Advice is tailored to the information supplied and to the scope agreed for your consultation.
STZ provides styling advice and planning support. Furniture, decorative items, installation, building work, cleaning, photography and property sales services are not included.
Room Styling Consultation
A focused, face-to-face consultation for one room where you want clearer direction on layout, colour and finishing touches without committing to a broader planning brief.
Who this service suits
Suitable for a living room, bedroom, dining area, home office or another single domestic room. It is intended for customers who want practical styling direction rather than a full interior design or renovation project.
- Review of one room using the information supplied.
- Discussion of the main styling issue or priority.
- Advice focused on achievable changes and existing belongings.
What you need to provide
- Recent photographs showing the room from several angles.
- Approximate room dimensions and the position of doors and windows.

Enhanced Styling Advice
A more developed consultation for one room, with additional attention to how individual styling decisions fit together and a clearer set of priorities to work through afterwards.

Clear expectations before the consultation begins.
Each appointment starts with an understanding of your space and the help you are looking for. We confirm the service scope, arrangements and any agreed written outputs before proceeding.
Tell us about your space
Contact us with the rooms involved, your aims, preferred appointment arrangements and any relevant timing requirements.
Share the details
Provide room photographs, measurements, preferences, existing furniture details and an indicative budget.
Confirm the scope
We confirm the applicable service, included rooms, consultation arrangements, expected outputs and any additional work in writing.
Discuss your options
The consultation focuses on the agreed brief. Any included written summary follows within the confirmed timeframe.
What to expect from every appointment.
The details below explain how the consultation is prepared, what information helps us provide useful advice, how written outputs are handled and what happens if your requirements change.
The exact scope agreed for an individual appointment takes precedence over any general description on this page where the two differ. Any agreed change should be confirmed in writing before extra work begins.
1. Starting prices and scope
Each displayed price is a proposed starting price, not a confirmed quotation. The final scope depends on the number and type of rooms, information available, requested outputs and practical arrangements. A confirmed written description of the service will be provided before the appointment is finalised. Any applicable tax treatment will be clarified in the confirmed quote.
2. Information and preparation
Customers should provide accurate measurements, current photographs and relevant information about fixed features and existing furniture. Advice based on incomplete or inaccurate details may need to be revised if new information becomes available. We may request clarification before confirming that a brief can be handled.
3. Consultation arrangements
The appointment format, location, expected duration and any travel arrangements must be agreed in advance. A face-to-face consultation is arranged only after the practical details have been confirmed. No unconfirmed location, appointment slot or travel arrangement should be assumed to be available.
4. Written deliverables
A written summary, priority list or preparation checklist is supplied only where it is specifically included in the confirmed service. The document will cover the agreed topics and level of detail. It will not automatically include technical drawings, measured plans, product-by-product sourcing, supplier coordination or unlimited revisions.
5. Delivery timeframes
Any timeframe stated in the individual service description is a proposed target for an included written output, calculated after the consultation and receipt of all necessary information. The confirmed appointment details will state the applicable target. If an unforeseen issue affects delivery, we will explain the revised expectation and agree a reasonable next step.
6. Additional work and revisions
Additional rooms, new objectives, repeat consultations, extensive product research, alternative schemes, annotated layouts, extra written documents and revisions beyond the agreed scope are not automatically included. We will describe the additional work, its expected timeframe and any additional fee in writing. No additional work will begin until the customer has agreed to the revised scope.
7. Appointment changes and cancellations
Requests to reschedule or cancel should be sent through the contact details on this website as early as possible. The applicable notice periods, any permitted cancellation charges, refund arrangements and statutory rights are explained in the Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy. Nothing in this service description removes rights that cannot legally be excluded.
8. Advice and practical limitations
Recommendations are based on the information provided and the agreed advisory brief. They are not architectural, structural, electrical, building-control, surveying or other regulated technical advice. Customers should consult appropriately qualified professionals where safety, building work, structural changes or technical compliance are involved.
9. Furniture and product sourcing
The service does not include the sale, supply, delivery or installation of furniture, fittings or decorative products. General guidance on types, proportions, colours or selection criteria may be provided within the agreed scope. Specific product research, supplier comparisons or shopping lists require separate agreement where they are not expressly included.
10. Photographs and personal information
Photographs and measurements should be shared only where relevant to the requested consultation. Please avoid including people, personal documents, access codes or other unnecessary sensitive details in room images. Information is handled in accordance with the website's Privacy Policy. Images will not be presented as client case studies or used for promotional purposes without an appropriate lawful basis and any required permission.
11. Customer decisions and outcomes
Customers remain responsible for deciding whether and how to implement recommendations, checking product dimensions and suitability, and arranging any separate purchases or work. Styling advice cannot guarantee a particular appearance, property valuation, sale price, sale speed or other commercial outcome.
12. Service boundaries
STZ provides home styling and presentation advice within the confirmed brief. Furniture supply, home staging equipment, installation, repairs, decorating, cleaning, photography, estate agency, property valuation and project management are excluded unless a separate service is explicitly agreed in writing.
