FAQs

Here are some commonly asked queries about working with The Mindful Edit. For full details on policies, bookings, and more, please see our Terms & Conditions.

Which areas does The Mindful Edit cover?

I primarily serve Central London (Zones 1-3) and North West London. For locations beyond these areas, additional travel charges may apply, which we’ll agree upon before our session. I also offer virtual consultations via Zoom and WhatsApp to accommodate clients outside these regions.

Can you work independently to organise my home, or do I need to be involved?

I know life can get busy, and that’s exactly why I’m here. I’ll handle the organising and curation for you, but when it comes to decluttering, I’ll need your input on what stays and what goes – only you know what truly matters in your home. I keep things efficient by grouping my questions together, ensuring our sessions stay focused and respectful of your time.

Do I need to prepare for our sessions?

There’s no need for any preparation. However, it can be helpful to consider which areas you’d like to focus on and any specific goals or challenges you have in mind. This reflection will allow us to make the most of our time together and tailor the session to your unique needs.

Do I need to buy any storage or decor items before our session?

It’s best to wait until after our initial assessment. This allows us to evaluate your current setup and determine what, if any, new storage or decor items will truly enhance your space.

How long will the process take? How long should I book for?

The duration of the process depends on the scope of your project and your specific needs. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your goals in detail and provide an estimated timeline. As an example, organising a kitchen typically involves two organisers for one or two days, depending on its size and complexity.

I only charge for the actual hours worked, and if we ever run over time, I’ll always check with you beforehand to ensure you’re comfortable with extending the session. Transparency is impostant to me, so you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for.

How long-lasting are the results? Won’t my house just get messy again?

The systems we implement are designed for sustainability and ease of maintenance. By creating organisational solutions tailored to your lifestyle, we aim to make upkeep intuitive and straightforward. Additionally, we offer guidance on maintaining these systems, empowering you to keep your space orderly long after our sessions conclude.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

Payment details, including methods and schedules, will be outlined in your personalised quote. We kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel appointments. Specific terms will be provided during our consultation to ensure clarity and mutual agreement.

What’s the difference between an interior designer and an interior stylist?

An interior designer typically focuses on the structural and architectural aspects of a space, involving significant renovations or alterations. In contrast, an interior stylist concentrates on enhancing the aesthetic appeal through decor, furnishings, and accessories without major structural changes. At The Mindful Edit, we specialise in styling, curating your existing items and introducing new pieces to create a cohesive, beautiful environment that reflects your personal style.

How do 'Before & After' photos work regarding privacy?

We respect your privacy and will only take ‘Before & After’ photos with your explicit consent. These images can be a valuable tool for you to visualise the transformation and, with your permission, may be used anonymously to showcase our work to potential clients. Your comfort and confidentiality are our top priorities.

What happens to the items I decide to get rid of?

Items you choose to part with can be donated, recycled, or disposed of responsibly. We can assist in coordinating donations to local charities or arranging for recycling services, aligning with our commitment to mindful and sustainable practices.

Can you help with moving home?

Absolutely. We offer services to streamline your belongings before a move, ensuring you only take what truly serves you. Post-move, we assist in unpacking and organising your new space to feel cohesive and homely from the start. Our goal is to make your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Reach out to us via the contact form on our website, and we’ll schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs, preferences, and how we can work together to transform your space. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
