Ways to work together
Four considered ways into your home.
Whether you want a focused steer on a single room or the studio to lead a full transformation, there's a way in that suits. Every route is founder-led by Francesca and rooted in how you actually live — and we're transparent about what each one costs.
01
Design Direction
2 hours, in person · £350
Sometimes you don't need the whole studio behind you — you just need clarity. Design Direction is a focused, two-hour session for one or two rooms or a nagging design dilemma, spent unpicking exactly what's holding a space back and where to begin. Francesca brings the outside eye and the honest steer: what to change, what to keep, and the order to do it in. You leave with confident decisions on layout, colour and priorities, and the reassurance of expert direction, whether or not you ever take it further. Two hours, in person, from £350.
02
The North Star Home Plan
In person · from £2,000
A whole home rarely comes together all at once, and that's exactly where things drift. The North Star Home Plan is a cohesive design strategy for your entire home — a considered guide to its look and feel, its colours, its materials and the thread that ties every room together. It's built for phased renovations and for anyone who wants to stop second-guessing: a fixed point to design toward, so each upgrade you make now or years from now stays aligned and the home evolves beautifully over time rather than in fits and starts. In person, from £2,000.
03
Implementation Retainer
Monthly studio block · pricing on request
Having a plan is one thing; living it out, decision by decision, is another. The Implementation Retainer is a monthly block of Studio Ember time for exactly that — refining choices, sense-checking decisions, sourcing the key pieces and keeping everything aligned with the design intent as your home takes shape. It's flexible, unhurried support for the long game: ideal once your North Star Home Plan is in place and you want a steady hand on the tiller while you bring it to life at your own pace.
04
Home Alchemy — Full Service
In person · from £5,000
Our most complete service, for the home you want handled properly — without the overwhelm. Home Alchemy is high-touch, in-person interior design in which Studio Ember leads the whole transformation, from first concept through to a fully specified, layered and restorative scheme. It's for busy households who value a home that heals and energises, and who'd rather hand the process to someone with an innate feel for the space than juggle it themselves. The result is soulful and collected, unmistakably yours, and delivered without the stress of doing it alone. In person, from £5,000.

We don't design showrooms. We design homes that restore you — soulful, collected spaces rooted in how you actually live, with no trends for trends' sake and no precious rooms you're afraid to touch.
