A few practical things to gather before we sit down together — so the conversation moves from vague ideas to a clear direction for your table.
A first consultation works best when both sides arrive with something concrete. You do not need a finished mood board or a list of exact pieces. But a few small preparations make the difference between a general chat and a session where we actually solve something.
Start with the room itself. Measure the table you plan to dress, note the number of seats you usually host, and think about the light at the time of day you most often eat. These three facts shape every later decision — from the size of a centerpiece to the weight of the linen you choose.
What to bring along
Photographs help more than descriptions. Take a few shots of your current table, your dining area, and any pieces you already own and love. If you have a particular ceramic or a set of glasses you want to keep using, show them. The goal is to build on what exists, not to start from zero.
It is also useful to write down the occasions you actually host. A weekly family dinner asks for different solutions than a monthly dinner party or a brunch with friends. Knowing the rhythm of your meals tells us where to put the effort first.
What we will cover
During the session we will look at your space, your habits, and the pieces you already have. We will talk about color, materials, and how much maintenance you are comfortable with. You will leave with a short list of concrete next steps — not a vague inspiration folder.
If you are unsure about anything, that is fine. The consultation exists precisely to turn uncertainty into a workable plan. Bring your questions, bring your constraints, and we will find a way through them together.
