Calm, considered interior design – in just one focused visit.
For busy homeowners who are mid-renovation, overwhelmed by decisions, or simply want a room finished before guests arrive.
Whether you’re hosting for Christmas or just ready to stop “making do”, this is a one-to-one design session to give you clarity, a plan, and the confidence to move forward.

Limited December availability across south Wales. Service covers Swansea, Gower, Mumbles, Carmarthenshire, Brecon, Bridgend and Vale including Penarth and Cowbridge. Cardiff areas such as Roath, Pontcanna, Cyncoed, St Athans.

What is this session?
The Design + Direction Session is a focused, in-depth consultation in your home (or via video) where we work together on one space that needs attention.
In a single session, we’ll look at:
How the room feels and functions now
What’s not working – layout, colour, furniture, lighting, storage
What you’d love it to feel like instead – calm, welcoming, finished
The quickest, most effective changes you can make within your budget and timeframe
What do you need to purchase to complete the space
What are your current sticking points or challenges you can’t overcome
What are the barriers in the way of you completing this room
You leave with clear, practical direction – not a vague moodboard that gathers dust.
You will have a plan of action to move forward and complete. That may or may not include additional services from me, which you can decide. You will receive a written version of your plan with guidance and optional additional services if needed.
Who is this for?
This is for you if…
You have a room that’s “almost there” but missing those last layers and finishing touches - I can help you with that list
Are mid-renovation and stuck on decisions (sofa, flooring, colours, lighting, window treatments, layout) - I can make those decisions for you
Feel you’ve spent a lot already and don’t want to make expensive mistakes - I can bring clarity and confidence to the final decisions
Want your home to feel calm, cohesive and pulled together before guests arrive - I can provide on-hand services to help you get the room finished with expert input
Are short on time and want an expert to tell you what will actually work in your space - and then tell you what to do next with a plan of action - I can also deliver on if you need that extra pair of hands
Prefer quiet, considered interiors over trends and clutter - I will give you styling guidance and make confident decisions. I can provide you with suppliers who meet your needs, not meet the trends.
You are running out of time to finish the room before Christmas, or would like to add a finishing touch for the season - December availability to help you with that
You finish with calm and confidence. A clear plan or an extra pair of hands through additional services such as decision making, sourcing, buying, installing. You can breathe and continue with your family, your business, or your ski trip.
How I aim to make you feel after the Design + Direction Session
This session is designed around my core values – Time, Ease, Clarity, Balance and Calm.
Time
We shortcut weeks or months of second-guessing into one focused session. We fast track the process by handling things for you.Ease
You don’t have to figure it all out alone – you have an expert in the room with you.Clarity
You leave knowing what to do next, in what order, and why.Balance
The room will feel more in proportion – furniture, colour, light and function working together.Calm
Most of all, I want you to walk into the room and feel yourself exhale. Your room will become complete.

Kind words from clients
I reached out to SA1 interiors after feeling a bit lost what to do with my living room. The space has always felt really cold and unwelcoming and I’ve never really loved that room. I wanted the room to feel cosy and inviting. Somewhere I could relax in an evening after a busy day in work. I messaged some pictures over and also talked about key items such as my Persian rug which was sentimental. Shelley was able to use this as a key feature picking out colours which could be incorporated to add some warmth and pops of colour. I now love this space. I enjoy sitting with a cuppa and my favourite tv programmes and looking around this room. The service was easy to use affordable and helped give me inspiration whilst taking all the thinking and planning out for me. I enjoyed doing the work myself on the project with Shelley’s guidance and it’s given me a huge sense of achievement, knowing I could cut cost but still achieve a new look all before Christmas. Highly recommend this

Shelley helped us to greatly to select the best lay-out, colour schemes and materials for a complete house interior redesign. This included new furniture, curtains, flooring and a complete new kitchen. Her ideas and contacts were extremely helpful and we're very happy with the end product. We would definitely recommend Shelley.

We appointed SA1 Interiors to give our home a refresh, and to create a style that was more to our taste. Shelley really understood what we liked. She was able to manage all of the sourcing, the purchasing, deliveries, installation and all the bespoke items. Every detail was thought of and executed brilliantly.— Rachel Paduch - Google Review
From our 1st phone call Shelley has been nothing short of amazing. From helping my wife and I with basic colours to things we didn't even think about. Always on time and so reliable. Fantastic service and will definitely use again.
