FAQs
What is Design Lab by Livingetc?
Ever wondered how interior stylists bring a room together? Design Lab by Livingetc removes the guesswork by offering a new shopping and styling service that brings world-class design to your fingertips — without the long lead times or exclusive price tags (or the need to get an interior design qualification yourself).
We are bridging the gap between digital inspiration and human-led styling to give you direct access to trusted arbiters of taste in the comfort of your own home. With our range of virtual consultation and product-finding services, Design Lab is the remote stylist you can call on when you are in a design crisis — or when you need a second opinion on your interior choices.
Whether you’re looking for a finishing touch for your favourite space or a whole room overhaul, we will unlock your personal style the Livingetc way.
What services do you offer, and what can I expect from each?
There are a number of services to suit your time, needs, and budget. First up is Find, our FREE personalised product-finding service. It’s simple — let us know what you’re looking for, and our expert stylists will give you a handful of key recommendations. Fill in this form to send your request, and our stylists will get back to you in two working days.
Next up is Style, a full designer-led styling service. Book an appointment with a stylist to get one-on-one tips, product recommendations, and styling advice to make your vision come to life.
Is the service available internationally?
Our Design Lab services are currently only available in the UK and will feature products from retailers who sell in the UK.
Who are Design Lab by Livingetc’s stylists?
Your personal sourcing will be done by two trained interior designers who are part of the Livingetc team: Iokasti Sotirakopoulou and Miaad Latoof. They have both worked internationally and are now London-based, each with over seven years of experience in styling, room design, and creating moodboards for clients.
Our Services
We currently offer two services and have both free and paid-for options. Read about them below to find the right fit for your project.
What is Find?
Know what product you want, but not sure where to look or what might match your scheme? That is where Find comes in. Send our stylists a request and they will find it for you. For free!
All you need to do is tell us about your product, budget and style preferences, and they will reply with three to five product recommendations, straight to your inbox. This is perfect for sourcing single items for a room — be it a statement lamp or a comfy new armchair.
To use the service you will need to share your email address with us, and you will be given the option to sign up to our newsletter. Any other information we collect — your design preferences and budget expectations — may be used for our own research so that we can provide a better service, but it will always be anonymised and you have the right to request removal at any time. Read more on our privacy policy.
What is Style?
Style is an interior-styling service for those looking for inspiration and direction for their interiors. At the end, you will receive a moodboard, styling notes and product suggestions — designed just for you and your room. It is great for those who want a little bit of creative direction, but don’t have the time or budget to appoint an interior designer.
How does Style work?
You will book a 45-minute video consultation with one of our stylists. Beforehand, you will fill in a short questionnaire describing your room, needs, and style preferences. During the call, our stylist will gather an understanding of you and your project, allowing them to create a tailored interior package for you. Within seven working days, your stylist will send your design package. This will include a moodboard to help you visualise your scheme; detailed styling notes to get the look right; and product suggestions, including any paint or fabrics the stylist recommends.
How much does Style cost?
Style costs £299 per room. If you would like help with more than one room, enquire about our premium design services by getting in touch with Design Lab.
