Quote: interior decorating advice
E.g.: choosing colours, textiles and furniture for a room without major work
Want to rethink colours, textiles or furniture layout without a building transformation? Start with everyday problems and items to retain. This request concerns decorative choices; specify documents and support rather than ordering an undefined makeover.
Write a concrete brief
State room activities, care requirements, dimensions, light, retained furniture and maximum budget. Supply photos and examples with reasons for your preferences. In rented homes distinguish movable furniture from property alterations; check conditions before painting, drilling or gluing.
Define expected documents
Ask whether you receive a report, mood board, dimensioned layout and shopping list. Agree format, proposals and included revisions. Request dimensions, finish and dated price for each reference; check availability and final cost before buying.
Test before ordering
Approve colour and material samples under room lighting. Check furniture space, door swing, circulation and delivery. For remote advice assign measuring and dimension checks; an online consultation is not automatically equivalent to a visit.
Identify scope boundaries
If the project expands to room redistribution, services or work needing studies, redefine skills and tasks. OAI describes interior architecture services from design to execution supervision and completion assistance. A title alone does not establish the commissioned scope, and decorative advice does not replace technical assessment.
Clarify purchases and support
Assign ordering, payment, receipt and installation. Ask about product sales, commissions or supplier arrangements and how these appear in the offer. Define handling of unavailable references or extra requests. Do not assume discounts or delivery are included.
Indicative prices in Luxembourg
On quotation
Compare fees and equipment purchases separately. An oral appointment, a mood board with references and ordering support are different services. No local average hourly rate or per-room package is established here.
Subsidies and grants
No grant is deducted from the budget shown here. If a quote mentions support, request the exact scheme and confirmation of your eligibility before including it in financing.
Frequently asked questions
Is a mood board always supplied?
Only if it is an agreed deliverable.
Does the package include furniture?
Check the offer: distinguish fees, products sold and your own purchases.
Can advice be remote?
If offered; define photos, measurements and verification limits.
Is removable wallpaper risk-free in a rental?
Do not assume so. Check substrate, product conditions and permitted changes before use.
