1. What types of spaces does Forster Inc design?
We design commercial interiors, including shops, studios, cafés, and workspaces, as well as residential homes. Our focus is always on creating spaces with warmth, personality and practical longevity.

2. Can you help design a commercial space that needs to be flexible or multi-use?
Yes. Many of our commercial projects are designed to adapt — retail spaces that convert into workshops, studios that host events, or cafés that change function throughout the day. Flexibility is built into the layout and furniture choices from the start.

3. Do you work with independent businesses and start-ups?
Absolutely. We love working with independent brands and first-time business owners to shape their very first space in a way that feels distinctive, welcoming, and aligned with their values.

4. How do you approach sustainability in commercial interiors?
We prioritise reuse, second-hand sourcing, and durable materials. This might mean reworking existing fixtures, using reclaimed furniture, or designing joinery that can be disassembled and reused in the future.

5. Can you help create a space that reflects my brand without feeling overly ‘styled’?
Yes. We aim to design spaces that feel authentic rather than staged. We translate your brand into materials, colour, layout, and atmosphere so the space feels natural, not performative.
 
6. Do you manage the project and work with trades?
Yes. We can manage the project from concept through to completion, liaising with builders, joiners, decorators, and suppliers to make sure the design is carried through properly.
 
7. Do you only work on commercial projects?
No. Alongside commercial work, we design residential interiors for clients who want homes that feel personal, cosy, and expressive rather than trend-led.

8. Can you work with furniture and items I already own?
Definitely. Whether in a home or a commercial space, we often start by reusing and repositioning what you already have, which creates a more meaningful and sustainable result.

9. I’m working with a limited budget for my space — can you still help?
Yes. We’re experienced at working creatively within budgets by mixing second-hand finds, investment pieces and clever layout planning to make the most of what’s available.

10. What is the first step to working with Forster Inc?
We begin with an initial consultation to understand your space, how it needs to function and the atmosphere you want to create. From there, we develop a clear design direction tailored to your needs and budget.
