Your home is your castle
To invite an interior designer to your home can be a bit intimidating. I understand that. Your home is your personal place and you would like to feel good and proud of it. However, there must be a reason why you are considering asking for my interior design help.
Let us look at some typical difficulties that people have. You are not the only one with «design problems».
Do you have some of these challenges?
- It is difficult to choose the right colors for your rooms or your place as a whole.
- Your furniture is placed wrong. It is off balance and you can’t use it as you wish. It is crammed in a corner or in your way of passage. Your rooms are too small or too big.
- You have too much furniture or too little. Or the wrong furniture or nothing that goes together with anything else.
- There is no connection between your rooms, your furniture and your things. You feel you have no style.
- You have inherited some furniture or objects from your family; objects with affectionate value but you don’t know how to use it together with your other pieces of furniture.
- Your furniture is too big or it has too many pieces but you don’t know how to re-organize it.
Does this feel familiar? Do you think: «Yes, that’s right. That’s how it feels.»?
Well, I am sure I can help you. Let me also reassure you it is not crazy expensive to hire me as your designer. I guarantee you that our collaboration will be a good, interesting and rewarding process for you – with a fair price.
THE ONE-TIME CONSULTATION
This is the first time we meet. I come to your place (home or business) and sometimes bring my assistant with me, too. For about 60-120 minutes we see your place, listen to your thoughts, needs and wishes, and we give you some general input and some ideas.
After this initial visit, if you should wish to continue and buy a further service from Alexia Lundgreen Design, I will discount your future invoice with the price of this first consultation.
However, if you decide not to buy any further services from me (at least not for the moment), then I will charge you for The One-Time Consultation straight away at the end of the visit if you are a private home owner, or send you an invoice shortly after my visit, if you are a business or corporation.

I will bring my iZettle payment card reader and you can receive a receipt on E-mail. For businesses and corporations: I will send you an invoice shortly after the consultation.
In addition I offer 6 different packages:
THE RIGHT COLORS
Click here to read moreThere are so many choices and nuances out there. It can be confusing. The more alternatives, the more difficult it seems to be. Still you already know that «you don’t want brown» or «you don’t like green» and «you want something new and fresh but…?»
In many cases, clients I work for need my advice in order to be brave enough to try something else than white or beige. We need to find a harmony of colors that go together with your furniture, your art and pictures, the light in your home and so on.
I OFFER A TWO-VISIT CONSULTATION:
First visit
We talk about colors, how they function and influence us. We discuss your taste and preferences in order to find the colors, which suit your rooms or your apartment/house as a whole. Finally we decide on a few color samples that you should buy and try out – according to my test-method – until we meet for the second visit.
Second visit
We evaluate the work you have done with the color samples, discuss options if we are not entirely satisfied and make the final decisions for your new colors.
PRICES:
For private home owners: 3000,- kroner ex. mva. for an apartment up to 50 square meters room; an additional 2000,- ex.mva. for apartments/ houses up to 100 square meters; an additional 3000,- ex.mva. for apartments/ houses up to 200 square meters; 4000,- ex.mva. for apartments/ houses above 200 square meters.

In addition comes a fee of 500,- kroner ex.mva. per trip outside a diameter of up to 50 kilometers from the center of Oslo.
NB! For private home owners: By the end of the first visit, you pay by debit- or credit card and we book an appointment for the second visit.

THE OLD ROOM WITH A NEW LOOK
Click here to read moreBefore you buy a new apartment/ house you usually go for a viewing. You walk from room to room and you let your imagination fly… «This would be a nice bedroom» … «This room could be my new office» … «In this kitchen I can make great dinners for my family and friends»… and so on.
However, once you actually own the apartment/house, it can often be difficult to make each room «right». Are any of the 4 following scenarios familiar?
- SCENE 1 – Can’t open the door!
Sometimes the office or the guest room unwillingly turns into a storage room for your vacuum cleaner, the laundry basket, your big winter jackets, boots and camping equipment – and you can almost not open the door. - SCENE 2 – Can’t walk in there!
Sometimes the basement living-room with the cozy fireplace turns into a place you just keep your bike, your skis, your snowboard, your garden chairs and empty suitcases – and you can’t even walk in there. - SCENE 3 – No baby pink! No baby blue!
Or you have a storage room, which you want to turn into a beautiful nursery or a cool room for your little girl or boy but you don’t know how or what to do or get – but you know you don’t want baby pink or baby blue. - SCENE 4 – No room for guests!
Or you have an office, which you never really use and now you would like to turn it into a relaxing reading room filled with your books or maybe turn it into a charming guest room but you can’t really figure out the floor plan and how to use the space right.
Well, it is like this for many families and couples. You are not alone having such problems with your rooms. Let me help you with that!

Second visit
I will present you a plan, which shows you how to re-arrange, tidy up, throw out and freshen up your room with the right colors or wallpaper, correct lighting and smart organization.

PRICE:
3000,- kroner ex. mva. for 1 room; an additional 2000,- ex.mva. per room for the next 3 room; an additional 1000,- ex.mva. per room for the next 20 rooms.

THE COMPLETE DESIGN CONCEPT
Click here to read moreSometimes when you want to refurbish one or a couple of rooms in your apartment/house, you step by step see how all of your rooms are connected with each other. You see how the entrance-door, the hallway, the corridors, the stairs, the doors, doorframes etc. are important parts «belonging» to the individual rooms and the rest of the apartment/house as a whole.
This happens because your «interior-eyes» are opening up to the need of harmony, balance and most importantly – the need for a coherent connection in your home.

First visit
I come to see, analyze and measure up your entire apartment/house, in order to develop and draw a full floor plan with necessary, accompanying elevation drawings of all your rooms.
During the first visit, we talk and discuss your preferences, personal taste and wishes. We talk about your functional needs and practical use of your rooms and the apartment/house as a whole. In other words, I will ask you quite a few questions about you and your home. If you need some time to find your answers, then you can always E-mail me after the first visit.
Second visit
I present a complete design concept to you – floor plans, color charts and advice on paint colors and wallpapers, suggestions for furniture, lighting and accessories. All this is combined with ideas and advice for a possible re-organization/re-use of rooms, removing or building of walls, half walls etc. We discuss my presentation and I note down wishes you may have for alterations and changes, which I then integrate into the final presentation.
Third visit
I present the final design concept.
