We work with clients in three ways, offering interior and architectural design support for your build project. Whether you need quick advice, 3D design work, or a full interior fit-out, we offer options that fit your needs and budget. The right service depends on your project’s scope and required support.

OUR OPTIONS
Discussion and advice
DESIGNS, PLANS & 3D VISUALS
DESIGN SOLUTIONS + SPEC & INSTALL
Our consultations deliver expert advice on spatial planning and interior design. We offer two types: a flexible Design Insights Hour, where you set the agenda, and can discuss anything from room layout to storage and decor, and a focused Spatial Layout Review for reviewing architects’ plans on larger projects.
Consultations provide immediate guidance, ideal for clients seeking quick, focused advice without committing to full design work.
The perfect option if you need design solutions for your project, shown in 3D to clearly visualise concepts and layout options. We provide 3D visuals and drawings, along with a comprehensive plan, allowing you to implement the designs at your own pace, suited to your budget.
Our expertise and advice will help you confidently finalise your layout and make key investment decisions for your home. This service gives you a solid foundation to move forward with your project.
Our most comprehensive service, Design + Delivery, is for clients seeking both design solutions and the delivery of a high-end interior fit out. We handle everything from specifying and sourcing to selecting and managing the interior installation.
We work with trusted manufacturers and suppliers, make site visits, and ensure all interior finishes and fittings meet a high standard. Tailored to your project, this service offers full support from design concepts to final installation.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Consultations provide focused advice, and we offer two types:
Design Insights Hour: A 60 minute Zoom session where you set the agenda. This is perfect for discussing topics such as furniture layout, lighting, decor, and storage. You can upload photos or sketches for us to reference during the call, but this option doesn’t involve extensive pre-call review work.
Spatial Layout Review: A 90 minute Zoom session designed for clients with larger projects or renovations who have architects’ plans. We’ll review your plans in detail before the call, and provide feedback and have discussions on layout, flow, storage, and fitted furniture. We will agree key areas and suggestions, to discuss further with your architect.
If you need in-depth design work shown in 3D, the Design Solutions service would be more suitable.
Choosing the right service depends on where you are in your project. If you need quick, verbal advice, our Consultations are a great option.
For more detailed design work, including 3D visualisations and layout options, Design Solutions may be the best fit.
If you need support with specifications, arranging installations, and scheduling the interior fit-out (not full project management), Design + Delivery offers a more hands-on approach to guide you through every stage of your project.
Yes, we work with many clients remotely. Our Consultations can be done entirely over Zoom.
For Design Solutions, we require accurate measurements, either from architects’ CAD drawings or a site survey, to create 3D designs.
Please note, our Design + Delivery service requires on-site involvement and is not available remotely.
While we don’t offer full project management, we do provide support with specifications, arrange installations, and help schedule the interior fit-out, including elements like bespoke joinery, bathrooms and kitchens. This is part of our Design + Delivery service.
For managing the overall build, you would need a qualified project manager or contractor.
We offer flexible services that can be tailored to your needs. Whether it’s advice on a single room or an entire home, we can scale our support.
You can choose from one of our Consultations for verbal advice or Design Solutions for 3D designs, depending on your project’s scope.
If you already have architects’ plans, you can book a Spatial Layout Review, a 90 min session focused on interior flow, storage, and key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. We’ll discuss your family’s needs, and I’ll provide feedback and highlight areas to review with your architect.
For more detailed work, such as rethinking layouts or adding bespoke storage, Design Solutions is a better fit, where 3D visualizations will show you different options. If you can provide a .dwg file from your architect and survey photos, we can begin the 3D design process.
If you don’t have plans yet, you can start with a Design Insights Hour to explore layout ideas using estate agents’ plans, like those from Rightmove. For more detailed design, planning permission, or structural changes, you’ll need accurate measurements via a site survey or CAD drawings.
If you’re based in the Midlands, we will complete the survey or recommend professionals to support with the project, depending on the scale of work. If you’re further afield, during a Discovery Call we will outline steps you’ll need to take to get a survey done, to ensure you’re ready for the Design Solutions process.
For Consultations the process is simple, as you can book directly from the website, and choose from a Design Insights Hour for general advice, or a Spatial Layout Review to discuss architects’ plans. With both options you’ll receive focused guidance tailored to your needs.
For Design Solutions, we begin by taking your brief and then creating 3D design concepts. After reviewing and refining the designs, based on your feedback, we will deliver a final pack with a 3D model to view, and a 2D plan.
With Design + Delivery, we will complete all the stages of the Design Solutions service, and then move on to complete detailed specifications, liaise with contractors on site, and manage the interior fit-out. This can include supply and installation of kitchens, fitted joinery, flooring, lighting and bathrooms. Many clients start with Design Solutions and transition to Design + Delivery as their needs evolve.
For Consultations you can book directly from the website. We offer two options, a Design Insights Hour for general advice, or a Spatial Layout Review to discuss architects’ plans. Simply select which type of Consultation you would like, choose a suitable time, and make payment. We will then ask you to share some information with us, and areas for focus, to ensure you get the very best from our time together.
For clients considering requiring our Design Solutions or Design + Delivery services, we offer a free 15 minute Discovery Call to find out if we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss your project, and answer any questions you have about our design services. No advice is provided on these calls, and therefore they are not suitable for clients requiring immediate support – this can be provided by booking a paid Consultation.
LET'S GET PERSONAL
Get to know who’s behind the designs, and find out more about Caroline and her approach to creating beautiful, functional spaces.
PLEASURE TO WORK WITH
“We used Caroline to plan a conversion and extension. Although we had an idea of what we wanted, we were struggling to visualise the new space. Caroline produced a series of designs based on our requirements. The end result is a beautiful bright living area which we could never have envisaged without Caroline's expertise. Caroline is a pleasure to work with and we can highly recommend this service.”
PROFESSIONAL & COMPETENT
“Caroline did a great job providing spatial planning advice and detailed drawings that we could give to any builder, to start the renovation works we wanted to our house. Caroline was professional, competent and we had confidence that she had the knowledge and experience to give us the best service. The plans she provided were clear, detailed and provided a vision of what our kitchen / open plan dining could look like which was exciting. I would be more than happy to recommend Caroline for anyone thinking of doing works and don’t know where to start!”
INVALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
“I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline for home design. We had a whole house renovation and extension and with Caroline’s expert eye she made invaluable suggestions ranging from structural to room design. Her ideas gave us a lighter, more workable house that flows very well and in some cases saved us quite a lot of money. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result and are the envy of our friends!”
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
“Really enjoyed working with Caroline for several rooms in our house. Very happy with the design process, the design itself and the finished rooms. Caroline is very approachable and works hard to meet the brief with great success. Also provides invaluable help to bring the design together in the final stages. Would definitely recommend.”
INCREDIBLY ORGANISED
“Clueless about designing my new build home, Caroline came to the rescue! She helped me with room layout, designing custom-made wardrobes, sourcing furniture and accessories, colour schemes. Everything was done within the budget agreed. Incredibly organised with spreadsheets, designs and photos, she liaised with companies on my behalf. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
CHANGED THE WAY I LIVE
“The project was to create an open plan kitchen diner from an existing kitchen, hallway and garage. Caroline has a real eye for what can be created using existing space without the expense of extending the footprint of a property. Caroline has great style and vision and really helped me to think about what I wanted the outcome to be. I am over the moon with the end result – it has changed the way I live.”
VERY HAPPY TO RECOMMEND
“We tasked Caroline from Bolthole design to re-plan our downstairs area and use the space more efficiently. We are knocking down a wall to join up the kitchen, living and dining areas but couldn't work out how best to do it. Caroline created 2 good options for us and once we'd selected our preferred choice she has drawn up all the plans to take to builders for quotes. The process was really hepful and we are pleased with the result. I'd be very happy to recommend Caroline for space planning to anyone.”
