This online course will give you the confidence and guidance
you need to design your dream home.
Exciting news!
After years of development, the Design + Decoration Masterclass is now officially open for enrolment!
This brand new online course is for anyone who wants to create their dream home without overwhelm or any decision fatigue. Your home is your biggest (and best!) investment - you want to get it right.
Maybe you've been waiting for this moment for years but don't actually know the best place to start, what you should really buy, or how to make it all come together beautifully in a timeless, sustainable and healthy way while still working within your budget?
What if you had my guidance to help design your home in a simple step-by-step process?
By the end of this course, you'll have:
- Developed a clear masterplan for your home, and understand the whole process from planning to budgeting, and making floor plans to final selections.
- Created a vision board for your design project (instead of just adding another image to your inspiration file).
- Gained confidence with colour and your palette selections.
- Distilled room-by-room concept mood boards that look and feel cohesive with the whole home.
- Finalised selections for everything from fittings to fixtures and furniture to furnishings that will stand the test of time, and help you create a healthy and sustainable home while keeping within your budget.
- Know how to use the principles of design so everything works together and is in balance, and creates a look you'll love for years to come.
- Creative and beautiful solutions to your budget constraints.
- Saved lots of time and money thanks to checklists and cheat sheets that help you plan carefully and communicate clearly with your suppliers and team.
PLUS LOTS MORE! I WANT TO HELP YOU CREATE YOUR DREAM HOME BY SHARING ALL I'VE LEARNT OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS OF DESIGNING, DECORATING AND RENOVATING HOMES, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE TIPS, TOOLS AND TRICKS YOU NEED - AND MISTAKES TO AVOID - TO TAKE ACTION.

The D+D Masterclass is designed to help you create a masterplan for any interior project that you're working on - so it's ideal if you're about to embark on a home renovation or remodel or want to make changes to you home. It is focussed on the options available to you to make physical changes to your home, and will help you decide on which selections to make. In contrast, The Styling Masterclass is more focussed on working with what you've already got, and the finishing touches to any project.
