The Designer Bestie — Your On-Demand Design Expert

You know that friend who happens to be an interior designer — the one you can call when you’re standing in the middle of a paint aisle, completely overwhelmed, and she just knows exactly what to do? That’s what I’ve always wanted to be for my clients. And now, it’s officially a thing.

Introducing The Designer Bestie — a new service from Sarah Atiq Interiors designed for the moments when you don’t need a full design project, you just need an expert in your corner.

What Is The Designer Bestie?

The Designer Bestie is on-demand design support, booked in one-hour blocks. Think of it as having access to a professional interior designer — without the commitment of a full project.

Whether you’re stuck on a decision, need a second opinion, want to talk through a space before you spend money on it, or just need someone to tell you honestly whether that sofa is the right choice — this is for you.

It’s flexible, it’s focused, and it’s exactly the kind of support that can save you time, money, and a lot of second-guessing.

How Does It Work?

Simple. You reach out via DM or email, we connect, and I send you a link to book your time. From there, we can connect in whatever way works best for you:

  • An in-person visit to your home or space

  • A phone call

  • A virtual session online

Sessions are booked in one-hour minimums, and you can add on additional hours as needed. No lengthy intake process, no waiting weeks to get started — just direct, practical design help when you need it.

Who Is This For?

The Designer Bestie was created for the homeowner who already has a direction but needs a little expert guidance to move forward with confidence. You might be:

  • Renovating and feeling stuck on a finish selection

  • Shopping for furniture and unsure if pieces will work together

  • Moving into a new home and not sure where to start

  • Halfway through a project and second-guessing your decisions

  • Building a new home and overwhelmed by all the choices

  • Simply wanting a fresh, professional perspective on a space

If you’ve ever wished you could just pick a designer’s brain for an hour — this is exactly that.

What Can We Cover in an Hour?

More than you’d think. In one focused hour, we can work through:

  • Colour and paint selection

  • Furniture layout and placement

  • Finish and material decisions

  • Decor and styling direction

  • Design questions for a renovation or new build

  • A second opinion on something you’re about to purchase

  • General design direction for a room or space

The goal is to leave the session with clarity — so you can move forward without the overwhelm.

 
“Think of it as the smartest design investment you can make before spending a single dollar on your home.”
 

Why I Created This Service

Over the years, I’ve had so many conversations with people who weren’t quite ready for a full design project but desperately needed expert input. They were making decisions on their own, spending money on things that didn’t work, and feeling frustrated by a process that should feel exciting.

The Designer Bestie exists to bridge that gap. It’s design support that meets you where you are — whether you’re at the very beginning, somewhere in the middle, or just need a quick gut-check before making a big purchase. 

No project is too small. No question is too simple. That’s the whole point.
