How to design with clarity & confidence

 

If you are ready to finally create a home that you will truly love, but not quite sure of the best way to go about it, or even where to begin, you need to clarify where you are going, and the best way to get there — with no unnecessary detours!

Our homes are one of our most important creations — not only do they impact how we feel and function every day but they can also increase in significant value, and become a way to earn an income or even become part of our retirement plan. 

If you want to get your home right, I want to share with you how the Design + Decoration Masterclass will give you the clarity and confidence you need.

Step 1 — Create your masterplan

If you don’t want to feel overwhelmed making design-related decisions for your home, the solution is to get clearer on your needs and priorities. You also need to get a better understanding of the appeal of your existing home (or site), and define what this project is really about for you. Create a brief and a vision based on your needs and objectives.

  • Timeline checklist

  • Renovation to-do list

  • Essential toolkit

Step 2 — Develop your vision

Take your vision into every room and create a comprehensive concept for your colour and materials palette, as well as finalise selections of fittings and fixtures so you can brief trades.

Step 3 — Distill your design: Fixtures & fittings

Making the most of your existing space, and knowing when you should spend the money to extend are key considerations for any renovation. You want your spaces to amplify the feeling that you want to create. The foundation becomes a big part of what makes you enjoy your home. You want to get it right.

Step 4 — Distill your design: Furniture & furnishings

Your home can have a major impact on how you live every day. It can transform family dynamics. You want to get your floor plan right, and the flow and function of your spaces.

Step 6 — Finalise your design

The final stages of your project are some of the most important. This is what you will live with every day. You don’t want to get towards the end and run out of steam, or money! You also want to make the most of your outdoor spaces, too.
