Formulating the Brief

This is just the beginning for your design journey!  

This session lasts for approximately 2-3 hours. Think of it like a brainstorming session for your home.

In this time, we will collaborate on the overall design brief,

determine what your design emotions are + review any difficulties put forward for your project. 

This is where I ask the important questions like:

• What makes you truly happy within your home?

• How do you want to feel when you walk into the room each day?

• How can a room inspire you?

I then take you through a process called ‘defining your design emotions’.

This is where we pinpoint the key words, adjectives and feelings you want to evoke from a space. 

People often miss the importance of defining these emotions for their projects.

It has been scientifically proven to have a profound impact on your attitude each day,
which is why we feel this earmarks the rest of your design journey.

Once your design emotions + key words are defined, we then discuss the following:

• Functionality of each room

• Desired colour schemes + review paint options

• Elements of prints + texture

• Window treatment requirements + ideas

• Lighting design + challenges

• Furniture needs and/or curation of items needed

• Styling

• Room decor do’s & don’ts - what is a no go for you?

The goal is for you to walk away from this brainstorming session feeling inspired and excited
…and more importantly with a clear vision of how to approach designing your home in a totally new way.
