Interior Design Consultancy

At Studio Yarner, we provide professional interior design consultancy in Devon and the South West, helping homeowners, business owners, and creative professionals bring their design visions to life. Whether you’re working on a small project like a single room, need guidance on a complex detail, or require a fresh perspective mid-renovation, our consultancy services give you direct access to the expertise of our founders, who have previously contributed to leading commercial projects internationally. We offer flexible consultations both in-person and virtually, tailored to your project needs.

What is Interior Design Consultancy?

Our consultancy service is designed to provide focused, actionable design advice without committing to a full-scale project. Acting as a trusted sounding board, we help you refine layouts, resolve challenges, and make informed decisions that balance aesthetics, functionality, and budget. From early planning to final finishes, we guide you every step of the way so your space in Devon or the South West feels cohesive, authentic, and aligned with your goals.

Who our Design Consultancy is for?

  • Homeowners refreshing a single room or an entire property in Devon or the South West
  • Developers preparing properties for sale, let, or short-term rental
  • Business owners refining hospitality, retail, or office interiors
  • Architects and joiners seeking a designer’s expertise on layouts, finishes, and furniture
  • Photographers needing expertly styled interiors for editorial or marketing projects

How our Consultations work?

  • Initial Consultation

    We begin with an in-depth conversation - either in person or online, to understand your style, aspirations, and practical requirements. This stage ensures we’re aligned with your design goals and the realities of your project.

  • Design Framework

    We explore how your room or spaces will be used day-to-day, considering comfort, atmosphere, and the practicalities of layout, lighting, and flow - ensuring the design supports both lifestyle and mood.

  • Design Guidance

    We then provide tailored design direction, which may include annotated plans, colour palettes, materials, and furniture suggestions - giving you a clear, practical toolkit to move forward with confidence.

  • Follow-up support

    Finally, we outline an action plan to help you implement changes yourself or with your contractor. For projects needing more continuity, we also offer follow-up sessions to refine ideas as your space evolves.

Services we provide

  • Careful analysis of room proportions, circulation, and furniture placement to ensure your space feels intuitive, balanced, and comfortable to live in - whether in a period cottage or a contemporary home in Devon or the South West.

  • From the big picture vision to the finer details, we provide creative direction and practical solutions that bring clarity to your project, drawing on our experience working with diverse properties across the region.

  • Layered lighting strategies and electrical layouts designed to enhance atmosphere, functionality, and flexibility - particularly important in heritage homes and new-builds found throughout Devon and beyond.

  • Expert advice on layouts, finishes, and fittings that make these high-use rooms beautiful, practical, and timeless - tailored to both urban properties and rural homes across the South West.

  • Visual tools to help you picture your design - ranging from mood boards and drawings to 3D perspectives that bring your Devon or South West project to life with clarity and confidence.

  • Curated palettes and materials that reflect your style, suit the architecture, and create a cohesive atmosphere - always with sensitivity to the character of homes across Devon and the South West.

  • Custom solutions for storage, display, and furniture that maximise space, add character, and respond to your specific needs, crafted in partnership with local makers where possible.

  • Tailored solutions - whether curtains, blinds, or shutters - that enhance light, privacy, and texture while complementing the overall scheme of your home or commercial space.

  • Finishing touches that give a space its soul, from artwork and decorative objects to layered textiles and natural elements - sourcing locally where possible to ground your project in place.

  • Professional styling to bring out the best in your interiors - whether preparing a South Devon property for a photoshoot, launching a hospitality space, or refreshing your home.
