FAQs

WHAT IS THE ROOM GURU?

The Room Guru is Irelands’ first online, interactive design service, connecting busy people with our design team at a time scheduled to suit you. We offer a range of consultation types and durations, specifically tailored to achieve your design goals.

It couldn’t be easier - simply let us know what you would like to achieve in your home, attaching photos, uploading plans, or maybe sharing a Pinterest or mood board ahead of your consultation. This gives us time to get designing for you, even before the consultation starts.

All you need to do is login online (we send you the link) at the scheduled time, and your interactive, two way consultation with The Room Guru is up and running. After your consultation we will send you a video of the full consultation, so you have something to refer to as you work towards that dream space.

WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO PROVIDE THE ROOM GURU WITH?

Before your consultation begins you will need to provide The Room Guru with a brief description of what you need help with. The more The Room Guru knows before your consultation, the better design advice you will receive.

Things that really help us to help you include; plans (all plans must be to scale and in a PDF format please), room dimensions, and photos of the space you need design advice for.

You can also attach your Pinterest board, so The Room Guru has an idea of what style you like or what you would like to achieve.

WHO WILL I BE SPEAKING TO?

When you login online to your interactive consultation, you’ll speak directly to one of our in-house, fully qualified and experienced Room Guru designers.

WHAT DO I NEED?

Just a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone (we share screens, this is a fully immersive, two-way consultation), good internet connection and a quiet space to get started (this is very important and required).

WHY SHOULD I BOOK WITH A CONSULTATION WITH THE ROOM GURU?
