Designer for the Day

A one-day interior design boost with big impact.

Ever feel stuck in a sea of Pinterest boards, paint samples, and decision fatigue? You're not alone.

Maybe you’ve got a room that just isn’t working, a half-finished renovation where nothing quite sings, or a vague vision that keeps getting lost somewhere between "playful" and "accidentally kids’ party." Whether you're paralysed by choice or just need a second opinion from someone who gets bold colour and distinctive design—this is for you.

Enter: Designer for a Day.
A fun, focused and high-energy day where we roll up our sleeves (metaphorically, or literally if needed) and make real design progress, together.

What is Designer for a Day?

It’s a 6-hour in-person, collaborative design session in your home or renovation space in or around Bristol.

We tackle whatever interior dilemmas you’re wrestling with—and we make serious headway.  It’s colourful, considered, and always with that signature Three Wise Monkeys Interiors playful twist.

💸 £450 for the full 6 hours (plus a follow-up summary after the day)
📍 Available to homeowners in Bristol and nearby areas
👯 One-on-one with me—no middlemen, no fluff, just solutions

Who is this for?

Designer for a Day is perfect if you:

  • Love bold interiors but worry about getting it just right

  • Have a new home or renovation that needs some stylish direction

  • Are halfway through decorating and have hit a wall (possibly literal, definitely creative)

  • Want to inject more colour and personality into your space but don’t know where to start

  • Have a million ideas and need help narrowing them down

You like a bit of risk with your interiors (but preferably not with your budget), and you live in or around Bristol. You probably describe your style as colourful, distinctive, or quirky—but you want it to feel considered, not chaotic.

Sound familiar? We’re going to get on famously.

“I can’t believe how much we achieved in one day. And I’m thrilled by the transformation!”

— Ronan, Bedminster

What can we achieve?

A lot, actually. Depending on your needs, we might:

  • Create a bold and beautiful colour scheme

  • Rearrange your layout for better flow and function

  • Choose paint colours, wallpaper, tiles, or fabrics

  • Curate furniture, lighting, or accessories

  • Pull together a room concept that balances playful with polished

  • Tackle design challenges you’ve been avoiding (looking at you, awkward alcove)

No waffle. No endless emails. Just smart, practical and creative design, delivered in one impactful day.

What to expect

  1. Pre-Visit Brief
    Before the day, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire so I know what you want to focus on.  Then we’ll agree the goals for our day together in an online meeting.

  2. On the Day
    We spend 6 glorious hours together working through your space—me with my designer eye, you with your lived-in knowledge of how you use your home.

  3. Afterwards
    Within 4–5 working days, you’ll get a follow-up PDF summary: notes from the session, key suggestions, product links (if applicable), and next steps. Think of it as your colourful, considered action plan.

Let’s Make Magic in a Day

You don’t always need a full-service design package to transform a room or finish off a project. Sometimes you just need a fresh pair of eyes, a dash of design bravery, and someone to nudge you out of beige indecision into bold brilliance.

If you're ready to make your home as colourful, considered and distinctive as you are—let’s do this.
