Consulting Services
At GT Studio, we know every great space begins with a conversation. Our interior design and renovation consultations are crafted to understand who you are, how you live, and what your space needs to become.
Whether you’re planning a full renovation or simply want to refresh a single room, our consultation is the first step to a home or workspace that feels intentional, functional, and distinctly yours.

- Turn Pinterest boards and saved images into a cohesive design direction
- Get expert advice on how to update a dated or mismatched interior
2. Renovation & Space Planning
- Explore layout options for kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and open-plan spaces
- Improve circulation, storage, and functionality
- Discuss structural changes with a designer’s perspective before talking to contractors
3. Color & Material Selection
- Select paint colors and finishes that work with your light, architecture, and furniture
- Choose flooring, tiles, countertops, fixtures, and fabrics that work together over the long term
- Avoid costly mistakes by testing ideas with a professional before you commit
4. Furniture & Styling
- Plan furniture layouts that actually fit and function in your rooms
- Get recommendations on key pieces, from sofas and dining tables to lighting and rugs
- Learn how to layer accessories, art, and textiles to bring character and warmth to your space
5. Problem-Solving for Difficult Spaces

- Find storage solutions for small or cluttered rooms
- Balance competing needs (e.g., kids vs. adults, work vs. relaxation, pets, accessibility)
Who Our Consultation Is For
A GT Studio consultation is ideal if you:
- Are planning a renovation and want a clear vision before talking to builders
- Feel stuck with your current interior and don’t know where to start
- Have ideas, but need a professional to refine and prioritize them
- Want confidence that your design and investment will stand the test of time
We work with homeowners, property investors, and small businesses looking for thoughtful, design-led solutions.
What to Expect from a GT Studio Consultation
Every project is unique, but a typical consultation includes:
1. Pre-Consultation Questionnaire
Before we meet, we’ll ask you a few focused questions about:
- Your goals, priorities, and budget
- How you use the space day to day
- Your likes, dislikes, and inspiration
This helps us make the most of our time together.
2. On-Site or Virtual Meeting
Depending on your needs, we offer:
- On-Site Consultation:
We visit your home or project site, walk through the space with you, and discuss:
-- What’s working and what isn’t
-- Potential layout or functional improvements
-- Opportunities for light, flow, and focal points
- Virtual Consultation:
Ideal for early-stage planning or remote clients. We review your photos, plans, and measurements via video call and talk through options and ideas live.
3. Design Insight & Professional Guidance
During the consultation, we may cover:
- Suggested layout improvements and zoning
- Preliminary ideas for color palettes and materials
- Furniture sizing and placement recommendations
- Lighting considerations (ambient, task, and accent)
- Where to invest, where to save, and how to phase the project if needed
Our goal is to give you clarity, direction, and realistic next steps — not overwhelm you with jargon or impractical ideas.
4. Follow-Up Summary (Optional Add-On)
If you choose, we can provide a concise follow-up document outlining key points from the consultation, such as:
- Main design recommendations
- Priority list of changes
- Suggested next steps and how GT Studio can support you further
