What to expect from a design consultation

Our design consultations are a dedicated time for you to explore ideas and options with a professional designer.  We will cover a lot of information, so it is best to attend consultations with your decision-making partner so they don’t miss out on anything!  

You can expect to spend around 60-90 minutes in our showroom developing layout ideas, design concepts and becoming more familiar with our products.  We will look at design options using 3-D software so please send your measurements and any other useful information a few days ahead so your designer can digitally upload the room and further prepare for your consultation.

Measurements

Good measurements are vital for successful design consultations! Designers require accurate and detailed measurements to present you with the best options.

QK Living will always perform a comprehensive survey of the room and double-check all measurements before the made-to-order furniture is put into production. However, starting with good measurements will help the design process run smoothly and get you to your dream layout quickly, without wasting time.

When you are taking measurements please remember the following:

  • Draw the full room
  • It does not have to be to scale but should be drawn from an overhead perspective.
  • Label everything in centimeters.
  • Include all walls, doors, windows, pillars, ceiling height changes, boilers and any other elements as they may affect the design.
