What we can talk about

We are happy to comment, on the record, on any of the following. We will also tell you when something is outside what we actually know, rather than filling the space.

• Whether a property actually works before someone buys it, and what space planning catches that a viewing does not
• What furnishing a home genuinely costs, broken down by room and by category rather than as a single headline figure
• How trade procurement and supplier discounts work, including where the savings are real and where they are not
• Period and Victorian property constraints, and the compromises they force on a layout
• Short-term rental and holiday-let interiors as a business decision rather than a styling one
• Hospitality and workspace design, where the brief is measured in how the space performs

Four of those subjects are set out at length in our published guides, with the figures and the standards named: furnishing costs and trade procurement in Furniture Budgeting and Sequencing, dimensions and circulation in Ergonomics in Interior Design, and period property constraints in Maximising Your Renovation Investment. If a review copy would be useful for a piece, ask and we will send the PDF.
