Designer for a Day 

Your Space. Expertly Unlocked.

Need an interior designer—fast? 

Whether you're struggling to brief a builder, trying to turn your ideas into something concrete, or just need a second set of expert eyes, Designer for a Day delivers exactly what you need—at the speed your project demands. This streamlined, high-impact session condenses the best of full-service design into one focused day. Together, we'll shape a clear design vision, make key selections, and map out next steps so you can move forward—confidently, independently, and without delay.

What’s Included

A 9-hour immersive and collaborative experience, structured to transform your interior in just one day. It includes:

  • A 1-hour phone call beforehand to define your priorities for the project

  • Up to 6 hours of in-person design work, either at your home or in a showroom

  • 1 hour of independent work to summarise the session and prepare the action plan

  • 1 hour of follow-up during implementation to answer any questions

By the end of the day**, you’ll walk away with:

  • A scaled floor plan, ready to share with your contractor

  • A mood board that we’ll co-create during our session together

  • A reference list of materials or furniture seen during showroom visits

  • A prioritised action plan outlining the critical next steps in your project

** These materials will be polished and delivered within 24 hours of our session

  • "I had a builder lined up for my bathroom renovation but no idea what I wanted. The choices felt overwhelming, and I was scared of costly mistakes. Designer for a Day changed everything—one session gave me a clear, personalised vision I couldn’t have created alone. It was not only helpful, it was fun! I left feeling confident, inspired, and finally excited to get the renovation started."

    - Emily S.

  • "Our open-concept living and dining space lacked structure—everything felt like it was floating, cold, and soulless. In just one day, Lindsay transformed our vision: custom bookcases to define the space, spot-on advice for furniture placement, and just the right touch of color and wallpaper. The result? A warm, cohesive space that truly feels like us."

    - Sarah M.

One day. One expert. Your space, transformed.

Let’s make it happen.
