Need help making your house a home?

As a qualified Interior Designer I can help with everything from;

• changing the layout or function of the rooms in your home to make it a more enjoyable and relaxed place to be. Specialising in ADHD design particularly ADHD in children.
• advice on how to re-purpose or re-use your favourite, but perhaps forgotten, treasures to transform your home into one which has meaning and brings a smile to your face every time you return.
• increasing your living space by transforming underused and uninviting small and awkward spaces into practical and functional rooms. 

Everyone deserves to experience the benefits of liviing in a well designed home.

Many people in Australia are coping with some form of mental disorder. Research indicates that almost one in seven 4 to 17-year-olds experienced a mental disorder in 2014, and ADHD was found to be the most common mental disorder among children and adolescents. (These findings are from the latest Young Minds Matter survey of 6,310 Australian families examining the mental health and well-being of Australian children and adolescents).

As we continue to learn more about this condition, households are finding that along with multi-modal treatment plans, the beneficial impact of designing an optimal living environment for your ADHD child or family member is enormous. A few simple changes to living spaces can actually help alleviate some of the challenging symptoms of ADHD as well as promote focus, learning and improved sleep by eliminating distractions and reducing the stress that comes from spending time in a cluttered, disorganised environment.

Creating an environment in which there’s a place for everything and everything is in its place actually allows many children with ADHD to thrive and can help empower families. 

A good environment can help parents and siblings cope better with an ADHD child, and an ADHD adult just cope better!

Let's get connected as a family – in other ways than Wi-Fi!

Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. We can immediately access answers to any question. We can keep in contact and share experiences over social media with our friends or the world. We can secure our homes, monitor our utility use and turn appliances on and off remotely.

But all this is coming at a cost, to our well-being and social communication. We are currently seeing a dramatic rise in the rates of anxiety and internet addiction which are now being linked directly to overuse of technology.

Limiting the use of technology across all ages and genders is now being seen as vital for a healthy lifestyle.

I specialise in isolating the challenges you may be facing with technology in your home and with clever design principles, can help you to improve the communication flow within your family.

• Kitchen
• Bathroom
• Laundry

These are some of the most used areas of the home. They have fixed cabinetry, appliances and plumbing and as "wet areas"  they require materials that are going to last the test of time.

You can't afford to get these rooms wrong and that's where I come in.

I regularly attend events to keep up to date with the latest trends and innovations in design in these areas and can help achieve the best result for you.

In these areas, more than anywhere else in the home, it's not about the price -  it's about the function.

Selling your home can be a very stressful ordeal. 

Once you have decided to do so you want it to be over as quickly as possible but still be assured that you are getting the best result possible.

Presenting your home in a way that appeals to your potential buyers is a key factor in determining your success.

Getting a professional styling company on board to store your belongings and showcase your  home with rented furniture can get great results but is a luxury not everyone can afford.

I can show you the things you can do yourself, the areas you may need to spend a little money on, the areas you don't. Giving you the best chance to sell your home for the price you are looking at and, quickly.

Do you feel your home is no longer big enough?

Does your home feel cluttered and un-inviting?

Do you have trouble finding where you put things?

Sometimes its because you have accumulated too many things without having time to cull the now defunct but often its because your home just doesn't have the functional storage solutions you need. Sometimes it a combination of  both!

Together we can do a quick assessment to determine exactly whats going on and then I can show you the best solutions. De-clutter and organise those awkward places and create a healthier and happier, hassle free living environment that you can enjoy.
