Choosing furniture, lighting or a rug is easier when you can see your space as it really is.
At Miko Designs, we offer complimentary in-home consultations throughout Canberra for clients considering a purchase from our collection. These relaxed 30-minute visits allow us to understand your home, answer questions and provide practical advice before you commit.
Whether you're furnishing a single room or planning a larger renovation, seeing the space in person helps us make recommendations that photographs and floor plans simply can't.
What we can help with
Every consultation is tailored to your project, but common areas include:
Furniture selection and room layouts
Space planning and circulation
Rug sizing and placement
Lighting recommendations
Colour and material selection
Upholstery and timber finish advice
Styling existing and new pieces together
Our goal is to help you make thoughtful decisions that you'll be happy with for years to come.
Material selection bringing together existing and new furniture, lighting and rugs, helping you visualise the look.
Why an in-home consultation makes a difference
A beautiful piece of furniture can look completely different depending on the proportions of a room, the natural light, surrounding materials and how the space is used.
By visiting your home, we can consider details such as:
Existing flooring, paint colours and joinery
Ceiling heights and room proportions
Natural and artificial lighting
Sightlines between adjoining spaces
How you and your family live in the home
This often leads to better outcomes than selecting products solely from a showroom or online.
Furniture advice
Whether you're selecting a sofa, dining setting, occasional chair or storage piece, we can recommend sizes and configurations that suit your home rather than relying on standard layouts.
Many of the collections we represent are available in a wide range of dimensions, fabrics and finishes, allowing us to tailor recommendations to your space.
Rug sizing and placement
One of the most common questions we receive is, "What size rug should I choose?"
During your consultation, we can recommend appropriate rug dimensions, discuss placement and explain how different textures, constructions and colours will influence the feel of the room.
Whether you're considering a hand-knotted wool rug or a contemporary Kvadrat design, selecting the correct size is often just as important as selecting the right colour.
Lighting recommendations
Lighting has a significant impact on how a home feels.
We can recommend decorative lighting for dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces, while also discussing practical considerations such as light levels, colour temperature and how fittings work together throughout the home.
Our advice draws on collections from Australian and European designers selected for their quality, longevity and timeless design.
A collaborative approach
Our consultations are informal, collaborative and focused on helping you create a home that reflects your lifestyle.
Some clients have a clear vision and simply want reassurance they're making the right choice. Others are starting with an empty room and appreciate guidance through the process.
Either way, we're here to help.

Appointments are available throughout Canberra and typically run for around 30 minutes.
