Making dreams reality
During the consultation, Alicia will make suggestions of any flooring, fabrics, furniture, lighting that you might use in your scheme. Her consultancy is independent, so she can draw from her knowledge of suppliers world-wide to suggest what would really suit you best.

The Service    
The start of your journey begins with an initial telephone consultation or email exchange, where you can talk through your current project and your ideas for it. Alicia will then come to your home for two hours, already armed with samples.

During the consultation, arranged at a time to suit you, she will help you define your vision for your project.  She will even sketch the ideas out while she is there so you can both see your ideas come to life.

By the end of the session, you will be armed with enough information to take the project forward yourself.
Alicia will leave you with step by step guidance as to how to take things further, including links to suppliers’ web sites so that you can purchase at your leisure.   

​Alternatively, Alicia will be happy to make you a mood board, provide technical drawings and full shopping list or carry out further work should you wish her to progress the project in anyway per hourly rate £120 or fixed interior design package fee.

Alicia from AZ Interiors provided hundreds interior consultations in a few last years, won multiple awards and is a true expert in her field. Friendly and approachable, she will provide the best advice in a visual, practical and easy to understand way.

We offer a two hour consultancy fee in your own home from £290.00.
If your project is particularly complex, more time might be needed but this will be established during our initial phone conversation so you will always know what to expect.

Testimonials

Alicia was amazing in helping me to visualise and plan the layout in our new extension. Before the consultation I felt overwhelmed with no idea where to start, but Alicia worked with me to discuss the best layout that would work for us as a family and then to add our own style and personal touches. She was professional and efficient, approachable and helpful. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend that you get in touch!

Alicia was excellent in providing us with a wonderful vision for our living room. We were struggling due to the shape of the room which had two doors and a large window. Her attention to detail in helping us to choose colours, materials, furniture and lightening helped to bring the room together. She was also keen to save the furniture, which worked in the room. We had never used an interior designer before and the experience was excellent. We look forward to seeing our room come together.

Alicia is a true master of design with a wonderful eye for tasteful detail. She incorporates your taste in marrying all elements of a room together whilst remaining pragmatic about costs and practical considerations (e.g. storage). She can make a huge difference in a small time. Fully recommend!

We had not used an interior designer before. We thought we knew what we wanted but wanted to have someone help us imagine it and talk it through. Alicia was immensely helpful (and beyond our expectations). We had been struggling to make decisions and by the end of the appointment we had made the important decisions about changing over the dinning and kitchen space. We now look forward to going ahead and making the changes.

Great experience. We hired Alicia for a 2 hour initial design consultation. She is clearly very passionate about her work and gave us lots of great ideas. We hope to hire her again at different phases of our house renovation.

Alicia visited us today for a consultation and we have been inspired by her ideas. Although we had some ideas of our own, she has given us confidence to go further and shown us how much is possible with our space. We would recommend everyone to Alicia as she brings her expertise in terms of colour, design, layout and sources of inspiration. She had a warm and friendly manner and immediately made us feel at ease.

The 2 hour consultation that Alicia provided was amazing. We are embarking on a 2 floor renovation and had lots of ideas of what we wanted to achieve, but really wanted an interior design perspective on our plans. Alicia was able to provide this and more in just a 2 hour consultation, providing ideas for lighting, fabrics and materials and proportions and placement. Alicia also provided really useful websites that we could further research. Absolutely fantastic value for money. Highly recommend.

A 2 hour at home interior design consultation with Alicia was exactly what we needed before embarking on a building and renovation project in our victorian house. Alicia arrived with lots of paint and fabric samples, as well as knowledge of local suppliers and useful websites for furniture and accessories. She was very sympathetic to the age of our property and our likes and dislikes. We worked on a plan for our living room (from wall, flooring and curtains, to accessories and lighting) and kitchen and even had time for advice on our hallway and another room. I am so happy with the outcome and excited to make a start on implementing the ideas, which will result in much more stylish and adventurous rooms than we could have achieved ourselves. Thanks Alicia!

Alicia has been great, helping us with the redesign of our kitchen. She gave us excellent advise on the choice of worktop, flooring, lighting, and walls. She brought our design together, and without her expertise we could have made some expensive mistakes - thanks Alicia!

We had a design consultation with Alicia over one morning, and she expertly helped us navigate through a lot of design choices and create an overall plan for what we could do to 'bring the house together'. She immediately understood our preferences and her suggestions were in perfect context with our existing design/decor. Alicia is lovey to work with, and she gave us plenty of insights which provided a great starting point so we could begin decorating our home using the professional contacts (decorator, plumber, electrician) she provided -- many thanks Alicia!

​I recently hired Alicia for a design consultation at my home. Wanting to maximise the beauty, comfort and practicality of the living and dining area, I had been feeling out of my depth with the complexity of integrating colour, pattern and deciding on a way to create separate zones in the open plan space.
In a fun and inspiring consultation, Alicia grasped my intention and put together a practical plan to actualise a beautiful room requiring less work than I had anticipated. All made easier due to her established working relationships with trade professionals.
I will be posting photos when the work is complete .
Thank you Alicia!

We had a couple of meetings with Alicia to help us out with the renovation. To our first 2 hour initial design consultation she arrived with lots of fabric and other samples and, of course, lots of interesting ideas. She also provided us with contact details of contractors. She is a very nice, efficient and reliable interior designer to work with. Highly recommended!

I hired Alicia for a two hour consultation on my new property and am extremely happy with the results of our meeting. Alicia came up with brilliant ideas for all aspects of the design; thinking of countless things that would never have crossed my mind. I would definitely call on her again for any future design work.
Client: Mark Page

We called on Alicia to help with updating our open plan painted kitchen, dining and living area as we were struggling with coordinating all the different aspects. Her expert and friendly help in selecting paint colours, lighting, curtains and blinds has been invaluable; her fresh ideas made us look at the whole area in a different light. Alicia also encouraged us to go for a bolder colour scheme in our large guest bedroom that complements the furniture beautifully. We are now confident that we will achieve the transformation we desire. Money well spent!

Alicia is warm, friendly and has fantastic energy!
Discovering and listening to what styles we liked and sharing what ideas could work throughout the property.
After the consultation we felt confident in the style we wanted and most importantly felt we could move forward.
I wouldn’t think twice to use Alicia again for any future projects. AMAZING!

I thoroughly recommend Alicia to anyone who is looking for interior design advice. I contacted Alicia to help me with some ideas for my living room, which is a small room with two access doors and a fireplace! So not the ideal layout. I used to hate this room and ended up not using it a lot. Also, because I struggled to find a style for this room, I ended up not moving forward with decorations for the rest of the house. I was quite stuck. But Alicia came and made some wonderful suggestions for decorating the living room. She suggested what colour to paint the walls in, she showed us some sofas, blinds, TV stands and sideboards that would make the room look exactly how we wanted it to look. She also suggested not to do some very expensive work (removing the chimney breast) as it would not bring too much value to the room. I can't wait to start the works to redecorate our living room, which will probably become my favourite room in the house. If you are considering contacting Alicia for help, look not further; Alicia gave me direction and now I can really see the potential of our house! I will definitely use her services in the future! Thanks Alicia :)

I had a really great design consultation with Alicia. She came ready full of energy and ideas for my strangely shaped living room. She understood the problem fast and had suggestions for every element of the room and those next door I wanted advice on, from ceilings and coving to floors and doorways. I have spent about a year stuck on this room trying to think of every solution but Alicia still managed to offer me some new ones, including some ways to incorporate bespoke seating and shelving to fit the room. I am now excited to get going!

Alicia has been great in helping us plan out our extension and the associated interior design. She came in before the build began and really helped us clarify how our spaces could be used to their best advantage. She was very good in taking our broad brief and showing us how it could be improved; her advice helped us make many important improvements to our design and layout. She really helped us solidify in our minds how our spaces could work practically, while maintaining a cohesive feel and being nice to be in. We were impressed in how she adapted to our style and didn't try to railroad her own visions in. The practical improvements to the design more than justified the hour or two we spent with Alicia!

We have subsequently had her along later in the build to provide more specific advice on specific fittings and furnishings, and again her advice on colour and design has helped us narrow down the infinite possibilities to a much more manageable range.

Alicia is professional, friendly and approachable, highly recommended!

Alicia provided a 2-hour design consultation focussed on my ideas for refurbishing my living room, dining room and kitchen. I only decorated a couple of years ago but had already grown tired of the look (too influenced by trends of the time!). I wanted to make better decisions this time - more timeless, better suited to the size, shape and lighting of myspace and I wanted to avoid being in the same situation in another few years time. Alicia's 2-hour consult turned out to be perfect for this (I'd never used an interior designer before). She really listened to my needs and tastes and provided detailed notes on colours/wallpaper, furniture placing and lighting. She even recommended some specific pieces she thought I'd like. Alicia also provided info on the refurbishment process, like who to contact and in what order. I would recommend her 2-hour consultation without hesitation. For me, it was a great investment that gave me confidence in my decisions. The rooms are already looking so much better. Thank you Alicia!

Alicia came to a property I was buying to help with interior design and layout. Her advice was really helpful and practical and I shall be following it all now I am in the new place! She was easy to work with and the 2 hours went really fast. I would definitely recommend Alicia.
