3 common bedroom mistakes, and how YOU can fix them.

1. Relying on your bedding to do everything…. Add colour, pattern and texture into the space. BORING! Your bedding should complement the other finishes and be the thing that’s easiest and cheapest to change when you do want to mix things up.

2. Trying to force symmetry. Sometimes it’s just not going to happen and trying to force symmetry in a space that demands asymmetry means things are always going to feel off. So if you have a different space lean into it. Do odd bedside tables, mix lights, offset the bed head. Balance comes from intentional design details and considering visual weight.

3. Playing it too safe. Come on where’s the colour? Bedrooms are the best room to add colour and personality because it’s YOUR space. Add some interesting art, the wallpaper you love, paint the ceiling. Do something bold and stop relying on furniture and linen alone. ✋🏽

What’s the first thing to happen in the design process?

We ask you questions to determine what’s really important to you! This helps us define what should be prioritised in the budget, what look and feel complements your lifestyle and what’s a necessity vs a nice to have.

Asking the right questions in the beginning sets the project off in a clear direction and helps things stay on track knowing that the outcome aligns with how you live your day to day.

When a million little micro decisions are needing along the way, a strong start is the key to a successful project 🥰

Things I regret putting in our home.

Don’t get me wrong I loooove my house but the building process frustrated me royally. Knowing what is available out there and then being offered two options to choose between was painful. It was our first home and our budget was tight 🤷🏼‍♀️ but here’s what I’d do differently if I did it all again.

1. Smaller basins in the bathroom. The sinks we have were literally the only above counter option we were given but the sinks eat up way too much benchtop space.

2. I wouldn’t do luxury vinyl planks again. We did not want carpet and this was already a variation but I wish we upgraded more as the direct stick to the concrete slab is hard and shows every little imperfection.

3. I wouldn’t do the sink in my island again. Don’t get me wrong it’s actually the best option for our kitchen but if I could have it hidden away, I would.

Not going to lie, renovating can be a stressful experience.

Just like the Dalkeith renovation (was for us 🤣)

The home had been vacant for a while and the clients were living internationally, so knowing what issues were underlying was a bit of a mystery.

Thankfully the clients had engaged two designers, Style + Grace Interiors ~ Victoria Watkins & myself to bring the interiors to life, juggle the moving parts and coordinate decisions if a problem arose - which they did.

Plumbing required further attention, electrical works needing upgrading, structural elements needed to reinforced, trades rescheduled, and furniture deliveries booked and then rebooked.

There is so much more that goes on behind the scenes of a renovation and so many problems your designer will solve before you’re even aware they exist.

Renovations are not easy. Renovations are a lot of hard work. Renovations are a full time job 🤪

Hire a pro.

And I also had a baby in the middle of this renovation 🙈

Ok, this is a little bit of a vulnerable one but something I’ve been thinking about a lot.

I recently started seeing a psychiatrist to unpack some things from my childhood. I won’t go into detail but essentially our household wasn’t a very happy one. I remember at the time of my parent’s separation being so upset about leaving a house I “loved.” But now looking back, and I have been told I have a very vivid memory, I remember the roughness of the carpet, the spikes I would sometimes step on where the carpet transitioned into the tiles, the coldness and sharpness of the tiled stairs, how white and cool it felt inside.

While it looked like a nice house from the outside and even in pictures, how it felt has stuck with me and defined my adulthood and approach to design way more than I realised.

While I always thought I had got into to design to unleash my creativity in different ways, I now realise I also have a deep desire to fill a place with joy, life and make people feel truly at home.

I’ve always loved what I do, but I definitely have a new found appreciation for being a part of creating a HOME 🫶🏼 for my clients, because I know how important it really is.

Becoming a mum has seriously changed the way we approach design! While we’ve also had a focus on functionality, practicality has taken on a whole new level - because no one has time for that!

So now we ask ourselves “how can we make cleaning up easier?”

And material selections play a huge role in that.

Here’s 3 finishes we’re tending to steer clear of:
👉🏼 engineered stone
👉🏼 timber floors (I know! I’m sorry! I still love timber but it does require some maintenance)
👉🏼 paper substrate wallpaper

Think of one we missed?

On my way to solve a problem the client doesn’t even know exists 🙃 because sometimes the wrong item gets
delivered, something is missing, something is broken, or something just isn’t going to work now.

Construction can be unpredictable which is why planning and process are so the most important parts. Ai isn’t going to drive to site to swap the wrong item with the supplier before you even know there’s been an issue.

But your designer will.

This is why engaging an interior designer for your next renovation makes a world of difference!
