A booking marketplace for London's freelance designers and the clients hunting for them.

Designers apply with a portfolio, a short statement of the work they take on and proof of insurance. Your curators score each application against criteria you define, and only approved designers go live. A waiting list keeps strong applicants warm when a specialism is already well covered.

Clients filter by borough, by property such as a mansion flat, Georgian townhouse, warehouse conversion or new build apartment, and by style. Designers mark the boroughs they cover and whether they have worked in conservation areas, where the local council's planning team has a say on external changes.

Each designer sells a video consultation, a home visit and an accompanied showroom session at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, on the King's Road or in Clerkenwell. Each format has its own fee, length, buffer time and cancellation terms, so a home visit in Highgate does not clash with a sourcing trip in Chelsea.

Slots for home visits respect each designer's travel radius and the time needed to cross the city. A designer based in Peckham can open Tuesday mornings for south London visits only, and video slots fill the gaps. The calendar syncs with Google or Outlook to stop double bookings.

Many London flats are owned by people who live abroad. Checkout accepts cards issued outside the UK, Apple Pay and Google Pay, shows the fee in sterling with a clear total, and handles Strong Customer Authentication challenges from foreign banks without dropping the booking.

Every payment is split through a provider with connected accounts. Commission can differ by session type, so a showroom trip carries a different rate from a video call, and payouts release after the session is marked complete. Designers see each booking, fee and deduction in their own dashboard.

Beyond single sessions, designers can list fixed packages such as a room scheme, a lighting plan or a remote e-design pack with a shopping list. Staged payments split a larger package into a deposit and a balance due on delivery of the drawings.

After payment the client completes a short brief: rooms involved, how they live in the space, what stays and what goes, and photos or a floor plan from the estate agent's listing. The designer reads it before the session, so a one hour video call in a busy London diary is spent on ideas rather than fact finding.

Only clients with a completed, paid booking can review, and each review shows the session type and borough. Designers can reply once, publicly. Your moderation rules are written down and applied the same way to every review, good or bad.

The platform applies the cancellation period consumers have under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, records a request for an early session, and then applies your late cancellation rules. Disputes over missed visits or unfinished packages run through a case thread where payouts can be held.
