Stuck with interior design decisions? How a one hour interior design consultation can help
Written by Sophie Clemson
Are you feeling stuck with design decisions? Perhaps you’re about to start a renovation and questions are coming thick and fast from your builder, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you have your architect’s plans but would love an interior designer’s perspective to sense check the layout, flow, and overall feel before moving forward.
You might even be almost finished with a room but feel unsure about those final finishing touches. Or perhaps you’ve had a few niggling design dilemmas sitting in the back of your mind for a while and just want clear, expert answers.
This is exactly where The Power Hour comes in.
During our Power Hour sessions, we’ve helped customers save money by making better use of the space they already have, often avoiding the need for costly extensions. At The Living House, we like to think of ourselves as your design friends. A Power Hour is your dedicated time with two designers to talk through your ideas, challenges, and questions with us, while gaining expert interior design advice that helps you move forward with confidence.

Who is The Power Hour for?
The Power Hour is perfect if you’re renovating. If you have architect’s floorplans but would love an interior designer’s point of view, we can help you review layouts, furniture placement, flow, and how the space will work for you and your family day-to-day.
It’s also ideal if you’re feeling stuck. Whether you need help with a few finishing touches or you have a few design dilemmas you would love some answers to. A Power Hour gives you the chance to talk it through with two experts and finally gain clarity and confidence to move forward.
A recent Power Hour in action
To give you a clearer idea of what can be achieved in just one focused hour, here’s an example of how a Power Hour helped one family rethink their plans with confidence before moving forward with a major renovation.
Case study: planning a family-focused kitchen with The Power Hour
When our customer revisited plans for a long-awaited home extension, one thing became clear: the kitchen needed to be more than functional - it had to become the centrepiece of daily life.
On the Power hour video call we reimagined plans for an extension to create a bright, flowing, family-focused space. Poor circulation, cramped dining areas, and a dark kitchen were transformed into a light filled, open-plan environment with seamless movement from kitchen to dining to relaxed family zones.
In the kitchen we were able to identify innovative solutions such as hidden utility access, integrated appliances, and flexible storage to keep the space calm and clutter-free. In the remaining space through thoughtful furniture planning we were able to accommodate a piano, record player, and children’s play areas without compromising style.
The result is a kitchen-led extension that feels spacious, connected to the garden, and perfectly tailored for modern family living. Turning a once fragmented layout into a confident, contemporary home at its best.
This is what the customer had to say after their Power Hour session:
"Thank you so much for your time yesterday and sending the plans through so quickly. It’s really appreciated and we are super excited about the plans!"
