03. Main service
Consultation
$250 per hour*
*If it is necessary to go to the site for a personal consultation, the cost will be individually established based on the specifics of the request and the location of the object.
The consultation is conducted online, verbally, it is for informative purposes and does not imply the preparation of any documentation.
- You send by email (to hello@shelnat.com) or through the order form on the site, a detailed question on what you need to be consulted, with all available information (drawings, photos, requests, etc.);
- You pay for the consultation;
- For studying your question and formulating recommendations for you, some time is needed;
- We choose a convenient time and contact via Skype/Zoom/WhatsApp/FaceTime;
- Within one hour Natalia will be consulting you on the topic and answer any questions you have.
- When buying an apartment. When there are several options, but it is not clear which one should be chosen. I will analyze all the options available to ensure that they meet your family’s needs, and will tell you what the possibilities for redevelopment of this or that apartment are available, and will recommend the best choice.
- When selecting the materials. I will help to combine different materials into a single unified concept. It is better to consult before buying.
- When decorating. There are rules for interior decorating, which change space compositionally. I will advise you on ways and means of brightening up an interior so it will look like if it was a cover of interior magazines.
- When you place the lighting. How to place it correctly, what light color and intensity to choose for each particular room. – When selecting suppliers. In case you are tired of plastic thresholds, and what to know other options available in addition to those you already know; when we want interesting extraordinary materials, but it is not clear where to get them.
- When choosing something. When you have a few options already picked, but you can not decide which of them would be the best.
- If you have no options, nothing to discuss, nothing to choose from, and you want the designer to develop something for you during the consultation. Development is a separate service and requires a different approach and time. In this case, it is better to look in the direction of Design project creation.
- If you like neither furniture nor furnishings, but want the designer to suggest something and tell you where to hang a painting to change the environment, so you would suddenly like it. This is not a constructive approach. Design does not work like that.

Projects geography
Yes, we have an online design courses for everyone who wants to learn how to plan and design their own space. And another online course with a deep dive into styles and decor. Currently they available only in Russian, but we are working on English version.
Yes, we design projects for sites all over the world, in different cities and countries. The only difference is that you will have to provide us with measurements and photos of the initial space (we provide you with detailed instructions on how to do that), the entire further development process is a standard one.
The design project and the decoration project differ in the composition of the documentation.
The design project includes 3 key stages:
1. A planning solution that answers the questions “what” and “where” will be located;
2. A stylistic decision that answers the questions “how” it will look;
3. Working documentation that explains how to implement this planning and stylistic decision.
The decoration project is a shortened version of the design project and is focused on the stylistic solution and work with the visual image of the interior, which is especially important when the objects are handed over from the developer already finished, when the developer does not allow the transfer of walls and electrical outlets, or when you simply do not plan to carry out dirty work, but you want to create a coherent and harmonious interior, stylized for yourself.
You have to submit a request form on the website or send an email to hello@shelnat.com, providing your name and size of the site.
Yes, you can learn more about these services in the “Services and Prices” section.
No, we do not do room design, we only design objects entirely.
The time of renovation process may depend on the time of year, the condition of the site, the members of the work team and the number of shifts, the complexity of the project, whether you order it in advance before commissioning of the building, as well as specific design solutions and, of course, the floor space and scope of work. Builders can adequately estimate terms only after preparation of the design project when the volume of forthcoming works and all decisions will be clear. Also, the total time frame of execution can be affected by the need to wait for custom-made items both finishing materials and all custom-made furniture.
No, you should start renovation process only after the design project is absolutely finished. If you start the work during the development, the least bad thing that may occur is that the amount of work will increase, and in the worst case, builders will do extra work or vice versa, will not take into account, for example, embedded parts, which will further lead to rework and additional costs.
The composition of the design project documentation does not include working projects on the following sections: engineering calculations of loads on structures, calculations of the electrical power part, calculations of ventilation, heating, sewerage, air conditioning, smart home, and other work not specified in the design project. Non-included works are performed with the involvement of specialized contractors.
The term required for design project development depends on the size of the site and its complexity. For example, for a standard apartment up to 100 sq.m., the development period usually takes up to 16 weeks.
As soon as we have access to the object for taking measurements. However, the earlier – the better, we usually recommend starting the development of at least 3 months before the commissioning of the building, so builders could get right to work immediately after you get the keys.
