Get expert interior design, renovation, and new build advice before you make expensive decisions
Design Power Session: One Focused Meeting. Game‑Changing Clarity.
For renovators, redecorators, new builds and house‑hunters in Adelaide who want a designer’s brain on their project before the expensive mistakes happen.
If you’re planning a renovation, interior design project, building a new home or house‑hunting with “we’ll fix it later” vibes, you don’t need another Pinterest board. You need an experienced interior designer to work with you, pull your ideas apart (lovingly), and show you what will actually work.
That’s exactly what a Design Power Session is: a fast, focused, two‑hour working meeting to review your plans, problems, and possibilities, or for house-hunting — in person around Adelaide or via Zoom anywhere.
You’ll also receive a complimentary copy of my e‑book Don’t Get Ripped Off By Your Reno (valued at $49.95) to keep you in the driver’s seat with interior designers, builders, and budgets.
Investment: $480 + GST for 120 minutes
Whole home. Two hours. Deep dive.
-
A Design Power Session is a deep‑dive consultation where we use my design brain on your specific home, plans or ideas.
Across two hours, we roll up our sleeves and work through whatever is keeping you stuck or second‑guessing: floor plans, layouts, materials, privacy, noise, light, heating and cooling, or that “is this house even worth renovating?” moment.
You’ll leave with clear direction, practical recommendations and the confidence to move forward — not another vague chat you forget the second you get back in the car.
Two‑Hour Design Power Session – $480 + gst
Available in person (Adelaide & Adelaide Hills) or via Zoom (Australia‑wide).Description text goes here -
Renovators who want to sanity‑check their ideas before talking to a builder.
Homeowners with architectural plans who suspect something’s “off” but can’t quite name it.
People without plans yet who want to talk through layout, privacy, noise and light before engaging an architect or draftie.
House‑hunters considering a “fixer‑upper” and wanting to know what’s cosmetic vs. what’s a money pit.
Anyone overwhelmed by decisions – tiles, tapware, layout, joinery, furniture placement, storage.
If you’re thinking, “I just wish a designer could look at this and tell me what to do,” this is for you.
-
You choose the focus (or we can decide together). Common topics include:
Floor plan review & layout fixes
We go through your plans room by room and look at flow, furniture placement, joinery, storage, circulation and those sneaky “this will drive you mad later” details.Joinery, storage & furniture that architects forget
Many architectural drawings show walls and windows, but no realistic furniture or joinery. We’ll layer in beds, sofas, dining tables, robes and cupboards so you can see whether your layout actually works for real life.Privacy, noise & zoning
We look at who’s sleeping where, what shares a wall with what, and how sound will travel. Kids next to TV walls, toilets off living rooms, studies in the middle of open‑plan chaos — this is where we catch all of that.Air flow, natural light & comfort
We talk window placement, cross‑ventilation, heat gain, cold spots and how light moves through the home during the day. Your home should feel good at 3pm in summer and 7am in winter.Heating, cooling & efficiency pitfalls
We’ll identify where design decisions could blow out your energy bills (hello, giant west‑facing window with no shading) and talk through smarter options.House hunting & “ugly duckling” potential
Bring listings, photos and floor plans. I’ll help you see what’s cosmetic, what’s structural and what it might realistically cost to get the home you actually want.Design direction & selections
If you’re drowning in choices, we’ll map a clear design direction so every tile, benchtop, tap, colour and fabric supports the same story — no more random, beige‑by‑panic decisions.
-
By the end of your Design Power Session, you’ll have:
A clear, professional opinion on your plans and ideas.
A list of specific changes or options to discuss with your architect, draftsperson or builder.
Confidence that you’re not missing hidden problems around privacy, noise, airflow, light or efficiency.
Design direction that feels like you — not another copy‑and‑paste Instagram interior.
You can record notes, screenshots and sketches during the session, and I’ll circle or annotate key plan areas as we talk so you know exactly what to action next.
PLEASE NOTE - we can only cover what can be realistically discussed in a two-hour window. A further Design Power Session can be scheduled.

One design decision mistake can cost far more than that to fix.
Room Rescue Call: (For One Annoying Space)
Not renovating the whole house but have one room that’s driving you absolutely spare? The almost‑right living room, the dead‑feeling bedroom, the “what do I even do with this space?” study? That’s where the Room Rescue Call comes in.
The Room Rescue Call is a 60‑minute Zoom or phone session focused on ONE room or small area of your home. We’ll talk layout, furniture, colour, lighting and styling so you stop second‑guessing and know exactly what to do next.
It’s perfect if you’re not ready for a full Design Power Session, but you still want no‑vanilla, straight‑talking design advice on a specific space.
You’ll also receive a complimentary copy of my e‑book A Home With A Pulse (valued at $29.95) so you can keep building your design confidence long after our call.
Investment: $220 + GST for 60 minutes

FAQ”s About Our Design Power Session
-
A Design Power Session is a two‑hour interior design consultation where we review your floor plans, renovation ideas, layouts, or property options and give you clear, expert direction. It’s a fast, focused way to get a designer’s brain on your project before you commit to expensive decisions.
-
Anyone planning a renovation, new build or major redecoration who wants to avoid layout, privacy, noise and lighting mistakes. It’s ideal if you’re about to engage an architect or builder, already have plans you’re unsure about, or are house‑hunting with renovation in mind.
-
Yes. If you don’t have plans yet, we can talk through how you live, what’s not working now, block orientation, privacy, noise control, airflow, natural light and rough layout ideas so you head into the design phase with a clear brief and fewer surprises.
-
Most clients focus on one or two key areas: floor plan review, open‑plan layout, kitchen and bathroom design, storage and joinery, house‑hunting advice or overall design direction. You’re welcome to send through notes and plans beforehand so we can prioritise what matters most.
-
Yes. If you’re not in Adelaide, we meet via Zoom. You share your screen, plans and inspiration, and we work through everything exactly as we would in person.
-
Only if you ask. The Design Power Session stands alone as a powerful, one‑off consultation. If you decide you’d like more help afterwards, we can absolutely discuss full service interior design or renovation design — but there’s zero pressure and no obligation.
-
A two‑hour Design Power Session is $480 + gst. One small layout or privacy mistake can cost far more than that to fix after construction, so this is about saving you money, stress and potential regret.
-
Yes. Architects design buildings; interior designers focus on how you live inside them. In a Design Power Session, we look closely at joinery, furniture placement, privacy lines, noise paths, airflow, natural light and efficiency — the things that affect you every single day.
