How can I start working with you?

As soon as you are ready to change your child's space forever you can purchase one of OUR PACKAGES.

For smaller rooms up to 15m2 you can use Piggy DESIGN package as long as you don’t need any bespoke furniture. For anything else i.e bigger room or amazing bespoke items, you need to choose Piggy PREMIUM package.

After choosing the package you will receive all the information and a guide of what we need from you to start the design process.

Do I have to provide you with the dimensions of the room before I order a project?

You don’t need to provide anything before ordering a project. You will provide all the details and receive all information automatically after you have placed your order.

What does the design process look like?

We have described the whole process step by step - See how it works?

What information do you need from me to start designing?

As soon as you place an order on our website you will receive acknowledgement and a step by step guide. You will answer our survey, send us your room measurements and a few inspirational photos to start with.

What will communication with you look like?

We operate fully on-line and mostly communicate via our e-mail hello@fourlittlepigs.co.uk. We are very reactive with our messages.

In Piggy DESIGN package you will connect with us via email. If you choose Piggy PREMIUM we will also be available to speak to you on What’s App or other way most suitable for you.

Who will design my room?

We work with professional interior designers who specialise in designing interiors for children. Additionally each project is supported and assessed by our children's developmental professionals.

How do you match me with my designer?

We ask you a series of questions to match you to an interior designer who understands your style, wants and needs.

All our designers are qualified, experienced and lovely to work with! We know our designers inside out, so we can make the best match based on your individual needs, style, preferences and lifestyle.

If you've used our services before and would like the same designer, let us know and we'll try to make that happen. Drop us a note at hello@fourlittlepigs.co.uk

Can the designer visit my home?

As we work remotely on the whole process and our designers are based all over the world, it’s not possible for them to travel.

We can promise you that virtual communication is just as efficient and you will be pleased with the speed of communication online and the outcome.

Will there be any meetings?

The huge advantage of designing with us, exclusively online, is that you can do it any time in the most suitable environment - you could be on the beach, tucked under a blanket on your couch or even during your lunch break if need be.

We deliver your designs and communicate with you fully remotely. We don’t organise meetings, we don’t bother you. Everything is done in 3 simple steps. We listen. We create. You got this!

How long does design take?

Usually project is completed within 4-5 weeks. However, the process can be shortened and stretched, all depending on how quickly we get your information and feedback.

How many versions of the project do you offer?

Normally we offer one version of the project. We care about your opinion, budget and all your needs.

Before we start working on your project, we collect detailed information from you. You can give us plenty of details and express what you really like. We ensure that the process is thought through in every detail, by dedicated professionals, to satisfy your needs.

How many changes can I make to the project?

You can change the project twice during each stage: functional 2D drawing and 3D design.

What furniture and accessories do you use in your projects?

We use most of the popular companies available on the UK digital market.

We only work with companies offering reliable service and great quality products. It’s very important for us that they care about our Planet and make sustainable products.

How do I measure a room?

We realise this might be something you are worried about but we promise we will make it easier for you. Our ‘Measuring Playbook’ explains everything in a step by step guide. You can sketch your room or take pictures and add measurements - we will be happy to guide you if you get stuck any point. The whole process is user-friendly and we understand that not everyone is an architect. Don’t worry, if any elements are missing, we will ask you.

Can you use furniture and accessories that I already have in the project?

Of course. You just need to explain this to us in the survey and send us pictures and measurements of these precious pieces of furniture. Additionally if you already have an idea or an eye on a piece of furniture you love and you’d like to purchase we will be very happy to include it in our design.

Will I receive paint colours from you?

Of course, we will give you all the paint colours, however we would always recommend to use samples first to ensure that the colour shade is right. Test it in multiple different parts of your room with different lighting to help you to better visualize what the colour will look like in your space at any time of day.

What does the project price depend on?

The project price will depend on the size of the room and on the selected package- see OUR PACKAGES. It will also depend if you require bespoke furniture designs (only in package PREMIUM) or if your room is bigger then 15m2.

Does the price depend on the size of the room?

Yes, there are small differences in price depending on the size of the room. Here are the brackets:

-up to 9m2

-10-15m2

-15-20m2

-20-25m2

- 25-30m2

For rooms above 30m2 and commercial spaces please contact us directly at hello@fourlittlepigs.co.uk

Are there any extra charges?

We are pleased to say that there are no extra charges whatsoever.

What budget do I need to allocate to implement the design?

We are happy to work with your budget whatever it is. We will be able to advise you if you’d like to save money on furniture or look for cheaper pieces of furniture you are inspired by.

The average cost of our projects is around £150 m2 however this can vary depending on your requirements. Bespoke designs of furniture are going to cost relatively more and it will depend on the carpenter you appoint to finalise the project.

We have done projects where final project budget was £1,000 as well as £10,000.

How can I buy furniture and accessories for my project?

You will receive all elements of your project from us on a clickable shopping list. You will be able to make your purchases easily without having to browse through pages and pages of online shops.

What will I find on the shopping list?

Descriptive topic content body text

Will all items on the shopping list be available?

We check the availability of all items from the shopping list at the time of handing over the project. However, as we often use general on-line stores we cannot guarantee 100% of availability at the the time you have chosen to buy those products.

We are always happy to discuss a substitute item.

Do you help with shopping?

We can give you a hand if need be to complete your purchases or guide you when the chosen product is for example out of stock.

Of course. In the case of elements of equipment from companies we work with, we will help you make purchases.

Can you help to put the project into reality?

At this point we are not ready to help you yet but again we are working on it ! In the near future we would like to offer you an option to complete your project from A to Z.

Can you recommend a renovation company?

At this point we don’t work with any renovation company but we are working on it!

What if I don't like your design?

It has never happened but of course we take into consideration that everyone is different. We offer you two corrections at each stage of the project to ensure your full satisfaction. Within that you can then request a change of everything that raises your doubts.

If you have further doubts or suddenly change your mind completely you can request that we start again but we will have to charge you extra for the extra work of our designers.

Will I be able to arrange the room according to the design?

We will equip you with everything that is necessary to easily create your project. If there is a tiny DIY drive in you - no problem! If not, we would recommend that you team up with some handymen/ women to help you out to avoid any frustrations.

You will receive a shopping list from us - you can buy all the elements of the project conveniently online.
