Interior Design Consultations Sydney
Big ideas start small. A design consultation with RCD Interiors is a focused, practical session with a Sydney interior designer, no jargon, no overwhelm, no obligation. Whether you're planning a renovation, stuck on a layout, or paralysed by finishes, you'll leave with a clear, actionable direction for your home.
We offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory call, followed by in-depth consultations for clients across the Greater Sydney area.
What a consultation covers
Layout & spatial planning — make the space work better before spending a dollar
Materials, finishes & colour direction — a palette you can actually build from
Lighting & joinery advice — the first-fix decisions that make or break a renovation
Budget & staging — what to do now, what can wait, and what it's likely to cost
Trades & suppliers direction — where to splurge, where to save
How it works
Complimentary 20-minute call — Your home, your plans, your budget. We'll be honest about whether a consultation or a full project scope is the right fit. No design happens here.
The consultation — $450 flat fee - 2-hour meeting, focused on your space. Bring plans, photos and questions; leave with direction and a written summary. Fully credited if you chose to move to the next stage within 60-days.
Next steps — run with it yourself, or hand it over to us to quote you for a full design project. And, if you move ahead, the $450 comes straight back off your quote.
Who it's for
Renovators who want decisions made before the builder asks, Owners of a finished renovation that somehow still doesn't feel finished and new homeowners planning a full-home design from day one.
Builder already engaged? Ideal timing, we slot in alongside your trades and keep design decisions ahead of the build.
If one of these is you - Book your complimentary 20-minute call or complete the enquiry form below and tell us about your project.
FAQs
What happens in an interior design consultation?
1
We walk through your home (or your plans), talk about how you live and what isn't working, your likes and dislikes and then provide you with a practical advice on layout, materials, lighting and staging. You receive a written summary with recommended next steps.
How much does an interior design consultation cost in Sydney?
2
The introductory 20-minute call is complimentary. In-depth consultations are $450 for 2-hrs, no surprises and fully credited towards the design fee if you choose to move forward.
Do I need to prepare anything?
3
Your questions, your plans if you have them, photos of spaces you love, and a rough budget range. That's it.
Is a consultation only for renovations?
4
No. Consultations work just as well for furnishing a new home, rescuing one stubborn room, or deciding whether to renovate at all.
Do you work outside Sydney's Eastern Suburbs?
5
Yes, we're based in Paddington and work across greater Sydney, with remote consultations available for clients further afield.
What if I want you to handle the whole project?
6
That's the usual path, most full projects start with a consultation, and your $450 fee is credited in full when you move ahead. So the consultation costs you nothing if we keep working together.
