You’re bound to have questions

 

Here’s the answers to the questions LitterArty gets asked most.


 

General


 
 

What services does LitterArty offer? +

LitterArty offers a range of services to suit your project needs. From in-person interior design where we’re completely hands-on to remote interior design. How to Home is also an affordable way to take your interiors to another level.

How is LitterArty different from traditional interior design services? +

The flexibility of services LitterArty offers means there are so many ways to get interior design assistance. We have a strong ethical stance, consciously encouraging sustainable, eco-aware and cruelty-free living. This is entwined in everything LitterArty does.

Can I use LitterArty if I don’t live in the UK? +

Yes. You can access LitterArty’s remote interior design service and How to Home service from anywhere in the world.

Do you design kitchens or bathrooms? +

Yes. We love designing kitchens and bathrooms. At present, this isn’t an option through the HowtoHome service due to the more technical requirements of these spaces. However, we can undertake your design project for these spaces in-person or remotely, and create the room of your dreams. Just get in touch and we can go from there.

Can you recommend tradesmen for my project? +

This is dependent on where you’re based. We’ve collated our very own 'little black book' of trade contacts, and where possible, can provide recommendations. We avoid recommending trades we haven’t personally worked with. However, we’re happy to source/liaise with trades to get your project completed to the highest level.

On average, what kind of budget do I need to furnish my rooms? +

This is completely bespoke to each and every project. You set your budget and LitterArty creates your ideal space on that budget.

Does LitterArty offer design services for offices or other commercial spaces? +

Yes. LitterArty has worked on some exciting commercial projects and relishes the opportunity to get creative, working with businesses to design unique spaces for commercial use across all sectors.

 

 

How to Home


 
 

What’s the difference between How to Home and your remote design service? +

How to Home is a fixed cost service on a room by room basis. Your design is sent to you in a box complete with samples to get you started. It’s suited to less complex projects where the requirement is predominately spatial planning and decorative. The aim is to inspire and guide you to create a unique interior.

LitterArty's remote design service has much larger scope and is conducted just like the in-person service, minus the project management. There’s plenty of direct contact with us both. Sourcing for all furnishings, if needed, is included and the project is delivered gradually, just like a standard interior design project.

When will I receive my HowtoHome box? +

Once we’ve received all information required to start work on your bespoke room design (this includes your completed questionnaire, good quality images, and accurate measurements), LitterArty aims to send your box out within 14 working days.

How do I send images of my room? +

Simply attach your images to a responding email. If your image files prove too large to attach, please send them in a Google Drive file either by attaching or providing the link. If there are any problems during this process, please get in touch.

What if I don’t like the design?

We appreciate design is subjective but your concept will have been created based on specific and thoughtful information provided by you. Unfortunately, the HowtoHome service is non-refundable. The aim of the package is to provide inspiration and a full design for you to follow. There may be items you keep and others you tweak. It’s your tool to go forth and create.

 

 

Interior Design Services


 
 

I want to redesign the internal layout of my home. Can you help? +

Yes. If you’re interested in using LitterArty's interior design services, whether in-person or remotely, we’ll work together to develop the best project proposal and pick the best service to suit your exact needs. We work in a very holistic, creative and informative way, aiming to get you excited about your new interiors.

What kind of items do you source? +

We can work with you to source all items for your dream interiors. Everything from fixtures, fittings, furnishings and even the final touches. LitterArty also offers a fantastic art curation service to help you find the best pieces of art to complete your space. We have great relationships with a vast array of decor brands and designers, allowing us to access items not always available directly to the consumer.

What if I don’t like the design? +

The whole project will be developed together, with your involvement at every level. It’s a collaborative process and communication is key. This limits any chance of you not liking the design.
