Does your home represent you? Discover the secret to how to plan your home interiors
Are you thinking about updating a room in your home with a new interior scheme? If you are where and how do you start planning it.
I can hazard a guess you don’t even make a plan.
Is it more the case of popping down to your local DIY store to pick up a paint chart and picking out a colour, and hoping the rest falls into place.
Or you get excited and go into an interior shop, buy loads of accessories and plan your room around this?
Or you start researching on pinterest, get overwhelmed with too many ideas and do absolutely nothing.
Or you get inspired by a social media picture and copy that.
Do any of these resonate with you…do you end up with a room not quite how you wanted it. It doesn’t give you that feeling of being satisfied, you aren’t happy with the end result.
This is because you are going about it all the wrong way.
You aren’t thinking about you, how you want the room to feel, what inspires you, and the things that you love. This is the first thing that we consider so that when you walk into your home you love it, and it starts to represent you.
As well as doing this I will teach you a step by step process of how to put an interior design scheme together so you don’t start with the colour or the accessories!
I personally introduced this course to share the skills and knowledge that I have learnt whilst renovating our home. I share my experiences, good and bad, where I have made mistakes and where I have learnt. I treat an interior design project like a hobby; it is something that I love to do.
I want to empower you to have the skills to make your house your home, to add your own personal style and to enjoy the process of doing it.
I recently hosted an introduction to interior design workshop. Susie Sprigg from WIBN Networking shared her experience you can watch it here
“Today has blown my mind. I wanted to come to this workshop because my home has white walls and grey carpets. I have no imagination when it comes to interior design. It goes as far as one feature wall and the rest are white. Or I start with a colour and make the rest of the room fit around it.
So after working with Emma for the morning I’ve discovered that this is the wrong thing to do, and it makes so much sense. Emma asked us what we wanted to get out of the day, and what room we wanted to tackle.
She’s taken us through a 13 step process, and discovered accessories are the last part of the scheme rather than the start.
I’ve gone away with hints and tips and an action plan of exactly what I’m going to do in my living room. I’ve taken some videos, I’ve got some ideas, I don’t know the full end result yet, but I do know the plan to follow ,how to look for ideas, how to research and how to present it.
She’s shown us some amazing free apps which we can use to visualise paint colour and window treatments, to bring colour and life to a room. I’m really looking forward to getting started”
If this sounds like the course for you join us for the next introduction to interior design on Monday 7th October. If you can’t make this date the workshop runs every 3 months – check out the future dates on our events calendar.
You also get to take away a detailed workbook, and a goody bag of useful items to help you with your interior design projects – a notebook to detail all your measurements, scrap books for those who love tactile mood boards, tape measure and paint charts. All will be revealed on why you need these items in your life!
