A Home With A Pulse
How to Create a Home That Feels Alive (And Why Good Design Isn't Enough).
You know the feeling. You walk into a room and instantly feel at ease—like the space just gets you. It’s not about the expensive furniture or the perfect colour on the walls. It’s a sense of personality, of history, of soul. It has a pulse.
Then there are the other homes. The ones that look perfect on Pinterest but feel… empty. Sterile. A beautiful, lifeless stage set.
For too long, we've been told that good design is about following rules, matching colours, and avoiding mistakes. We’ve been trained to create homes that are safe, styled, and ready for an Instagram post. But in the process, we’ve ironed out all the life.
This guide is your permission to break the rules.
It’s an invitation to stop decorating and start feeling. It's a new kind of interior design, one that’s layered with memory, mood, and meaning. This is the guide to creating a home that doesn't just look good, but feels like a true extension of your soul.

Your Home Should Be Your Biography, Not a Catalogue.
If your home feels more like a showroom than a sanctuary, you're not alone. We've been sold a version of "perfect" that has nothing to do with personal joy. "Home With A Pulse" is the antidote. It's a practical guide to infusing your space with the one ingredient that matters most: you.
Unlearn the Rules & Discover Your "Style DNA"
Before you can create a home with soul, you have to unlearn the fear of getting it wrong. This is where we give you the confidence to trust your own story.
✅ Ditch the Trends: Learn why following the latest trend is the fastest way to a home that feels dated and impersonal, and how to build a timeless foundation instead.
✅ Overcome "Design Paralysis": I’ll give you practical exercises to move past the fear of making a mistake and start making intuitive, joyful choices.
✅ Find Your Emotional Palette: Discover how to choose colours based on how they make you feel, not just how they look on a paint chip.
Master the Art of Emotional Layering
A home with a pulse is built over time, with layers of meaning. This is the "how-to" for creating spaces that tell your unique story.
✅ Turn Objects into "Emotional Landmarks": Learn how to identify and display the pieces that matter—the worn armchair from your first apartment, the chipped ceramic bowl from a memorable trip, the art your child made. These are your home's heartbeats.
✅ The Power of Imperfection: Discover why a little bit of wear, a touch of rust, or a slightly faded rug adds more character and warmth than any brand-new, mass-produced item ever could.
✅ Mix, Don't Match: I'll show you the designer's secret to mixing styles, eras, and price points to create a look that is authentically, uniquely yours.
Create a Home That Heals, Comforts & Inspires
The ultimate goal is a home that actively contributes to your well-being—a space that recharges you, calms you, and feels like the safest place on earth.
✅ Design for All Five Senses: Move beyond the visual and learn how to incorporate sound, scent, and texture to create a fully immersive and comforting environment.
✅ Conduct a "Clutter Autopsy": Understand the emotional reason behind your clutter and learn a gentle, story-based method for letting go of what no longer serves you.
✅ Build Your Sanctuary: Get a step-by-step framework for turning any room—or even just a small corner—into a personal sanctuary designed for rest, creativity, and joy.
