About Our Service
What does TANTON PROPERTIES LTD do?
We provide remote home styling consultations based on the property information, photographs, measurements and preferences supplied by customers.
Our work focuses on practical written guidance for furniture arrangements, colour schemes, room presentation and the overall appearance of interior spaces.
Are consultations conducted online or in person?
All consultations are conducted remotely. Customers provide relevant information and reference materials online, and we communicate through written correspondence.
We do not arrange property visits, on-site measurements or fixed video meetings as part of the services described on this website.
Do you supply furniture or decorative products?
No. Our services provide styling advice and digital consultation materials. We do not sell or supply furniture, furnishings, decorative accessories, paint or other physical products.
Any purchasing decisions and arrangements are made independently by the customer.
Do you provide interior design or building work?
Our services are limited to home styling advice and presentation recommendations. We do not provide architectural plans, structural engineering, building work, renovation, installation, furniture assembly or on-site decoration.
Where a proposed change requires technical assessment or specialist work, customers should consult an appropriately qualified professional.
Can you advise on a rented property?
Yes. We can consider styling requirements for a rented property using the information supplied. Recommendations should take account of any relevant tenancy terms, permission requirements and restrictions provided by the customer.
We do not interpret tenancy agreements or provide legal advice about property alterations.
Choosing a Service
Which service should I choose?
The most suitable option depends on the number of rooms involved and the type of guidance you need.
- Initial Styling Review: an initial review of a property’s styling priorities.
- Single Room Styling Advice: recommendations focused on one room.
- Colour Scheme Consultation: guidance on colour direction and coordination.
- Furniture Layout Consultation: advice on furniture positioning and room balance.
- Property Presentation Review: suggestions for improving the visual presentation of a property.
- Multi-Room Styling Plan: coordinated guidance for up to three rooms.
- Comprehensive Home Styling Plan: a broader plan covering up to five rooms.
See our Services page for the full scope and deliverables of each option.
Can I request advice for more than one room?
Yes. Our Multi-Room Styling Plan covers up to three rooms, while the Comprehensive Home Styling Plan covers up to five rooms.
The rooms and required work should be identified before the consultation begins so that the scope, fee and delivery arrangements can be confirmed.
Can I request a service that is not listed?
You may describe your requirements through our contact form. We will review the information and confirm whether the requested work can be considered within our home styling consultation scope.
Any additional work must be discussed and agreed separately before it is included.
Can you guarantee that your recommendations will increase property value?
No. Our recommendations relate to interior styling, furniture arrangements, colour choices and visual presentation. We do not provide property valuations or guarantee increases in market value, rental income, sale prospects or letting outcomes.
Information & Consultation Process
What information should I provide?
The information required depends on the selected service. Helpful materials may include:
- Photographs of the room from different angles.
- Approximate room dimensions and a floor plan, if available.
- Details of existing furniture and fixed interior features.
- Your preferred colours, styles and reference images.
- A description of how you use the space and what you would like to improve.
Clear and accurate information helps us understand your requirements. We may ask for clarification if important details are missing.
Do I need to provide professional photographs or drawings?
No. Ordinary photographs taken with a mobile phone and approximate room measurements are usually a useful starting point.
Any floor plans or drawings you already have may also be helpful, but professional architectural drawings are not a standard requirement for our styling consultations.
What happens after I submit an enquiry?
We review the information provided and consider the requested service, property details and expected work.
Where necessary, we will ask questions to clarify the requirements. Before work begins, the service scope, applicable fee and delivery arrangements will be confirmed.
Will you arrange a video call?
Our standard consultation process does not include scheduled video calls. Information is collected through submitted materials and written communication.
Can I send additional photographs after submitting my enquiry?
If additional information is needed, we may ask you to provide further photographs, measurements or clarification. Please ensure any additional material relates to the agreed consultation scope.
A substantial change to the original requirements may need a separate review and agreement.
Deliverables & Timescales
What will I receive at the end of the consultation?
Depending on the service selected, the final materials may include a written consultation report, room-specific recommendations, colour direction, furniture placement guidance, reference notes and a prioritised action list.
Where appropriate and agreed within the scope, a simple illustrative layout concept may also be included. This is a styling aid rather than a technical drawing or construction document.
How will the completed work be delivered?
Completed consultation materials are provided electronically, normally as PDF documents or other agreed digital files sent through the agreed communication or delivery method.
No physical products or printed reports are included unless expressly agreed in writing.
How long does a consultation take?
The standard estimated working periods for our listed services are:

If additional information is required, the delivery estimate may need to be adjusted. Any material change will be communicated to you.
What if I provide incomplete information?
We may contact you to request missing photographs, dimensions or other relevant details. Work may be delayed until the information needed to complete the agreed consultation has been received.
The estimated preparation period should not be treated as having started while essential information remains outstanding.
Can the recommendations be changed after delivery?
If you have a question about the delivered materials, please contact us and identify the relevant section or recommendation.
Any included clarification or agreed revision will follow the scope confirmed for your service. New rooms, substantially different requirements or additional work may require a separate agreement.

Changes, Cancellations & Refunds

What if I need to change my requirements after confirming a service?
Please contact us as soon as possible. We will review whether the requested change can be accommodated within the existing scope.
