Stop Guessing.
Start Planning Your Home Like a Designer.
Designer-built starter tools and planning frameworks to help you take control of your home - so you can make confident, budget-smart decisions from the very first room, without hiring a designer.
This is not about finishing your whole house overnight.
It’s about setting the right foundations - so every decision after this feels easier, calmer, and more intentional.
Your Home, Finally Feeling Clear
You walk into a room and you’re no longer unsure.
​
You know what belongs there - what to buy, what to wait on, what doesn’t fit your plan.
​
You choose furniture, colours, finishes and materials without second-guessing, because you can see how they work together and what they cost.
​
You understand your budget - not vaguely, not hopefully - but clearly enough to make confident decisions before money is spent.
​
Instead of reacting, you’re planning.
Instead of guessing, you’re choosing.
Instead of feeling behind, you finally feel in control.
​
That’s what this starter bundle is designed to give you.​

Why Most Homeowners Feel Stuck (Even With Great Taste)
Here’s what I see over and over again. Smart, capable women who:
-
Know what they like
-
Have saved inspiration
-
Care deeply about their home
But feel paralysed when it comes time to actually decide. Not because they lack taste -
but because they don’t have a system. No clear way to:
-
Translate inspiration into a real plan
-
Understand costs before committing
-
Make decisions room by room without blowing the budget
So choices feel risky. Money feels stressful. And progress stalls.
​
I’m Kate - And This Is How Designers Actually Start
I’ve spent over 20 years designing homes for real families - not show homes, not Pinterest perfection, but spaces that have to work every single day.
​
And here’s the truth most people never see:
Designers don’t start with shopping.
They start with clarity.
Clear plans.
Clear selections.
Clear budgets.
​
This starter bundle gives you the same foundational tools designers use - simplified, practical, and built for homeowners - so you can start properly, even if you’re only planning one room right now.
Why This Approach Works (and Most People Get It Backwards)​
​​
This is your starting point. A professional-grade planning toolkit that helps you:
-
See your home clearly
-
Make confident decisions
-
Understand your budget early
-
Avoid costly “almost right” mistakes
You can use it for one room this weekend - and reuse the same system as you move through the rest of your home over time.
​​​
How You’ll Use It (And Why It Works)
​
With the Interior Design Starter Bundle, you move from confusion → clarity → strong foundations that make future rooms easier to plan. These tools help you start intentionally, make confident decisions, and manage your budget from the beginning.
See Your Home Clearly - Before You Buy Anything
1
The FF&E Schedule gives you a structured place to plan every finish, fixture and furnishing - so nothing lives only in your head.
You stop guessing.
You stop forgetting details.
You start seeing the whole picture.
Turn Inspiration Into a Real Plan
2
With the Vision Board Templates and Vision Board Masterclass, you’ll learn how to:
-
Pull scattered inspiration together
-
Test ideas before committing
-
Create a clear visual direction that actually fits your home and budget
This is where “I love all of it” becomes “this is what I’m doing.”
Plan Your Budget With Confidence — Not Hope
3
This is where everything shifts. The Dream Home Budget Tracker is designed to help you understand what your project will really cost - early enough to make smarter decisions. Every trade, product and supplier is already mapped out, so nothing important gets missed. You can:
-
Plan room by room or whole-home
-
Track planned vs actual spending
-
See your budget visually with automatic charts
-
Include contingency and quotes so surprises don’t derail you
-
Align timing, decisions and costs with the built-in planner
No more mental maths. No more vague allowances.Just clarity you can actually see.
Make Confident Finish Decisions Without Wasting Money
4
The Paint & Tile Calculator removes one of the most common (and expensive) guesswork areas. You’ll know exactly:
-
How much paint you need
-
How much tile to allow for
-
What finishes actually cost per space
So you avoid over-ordering, under-ordering, and last-minute budget blowouts.
Make Smart Purchases, Room by Room
5
With the Furniture & Styling Calculator, you can see the true cost of furnishing a room before you start buying. That means:
-
No “just one more thing” overspending
-
No regret purchases
Every item aligned with both your plan and your budget

You want progress without overwhelm

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not a designer… will this even make sense to me?
Yes — that’s exactly who it’s made for.
These tools were created because most homeowners don’t need more inspiration… they need a clear, simple system to make decisions. Everything inside is step-by-step, intuitive, and created for busy women who don’t have time to decode complicated design theory.
Will this actually help me make decisions… or just give me more to do?
It will simplify everything you’re already doing — the screenshots, the Pinterest boards, the guessing, the overwhelm.
You plug in your details → the tools show you what’s possible → you make decisions with clarity instead of hesitation.
What does the Furniture & Styling Calculator actually do?
It helps you plan your budget, not size your furniture.
You’ll know the real cost of each room (budget → mid → premium) before you buy a single piece.
No surprises. No impulse purchases. No “we’ve blown the budget again” moments.
My home is small / awkward / not Pinterest-perfect. Will this still work for me?
Absolutely. These tools don’t care about square metres — they care about clarity.
Whether your rooms are tiny, open-plan, or in-between, the process adapts to you, not the other way around.
How long will it take to see progress?
What if I’m already halfway through my renovation?
Most people feel a shift in the first 10 minutes.
One vision board → instant direction.
One calculator → instant clarity.
One organised FF&E list → instant momentum.
Small wins, quickly. That’s the entire point.
Then you’ll love it even more.
It helps you fill the gaps, keep track of decisions, and stop the expensive second-guessing that usually happens in the middle of a project.
How is this different from just using Pinterest or saving inspo on Instagram?
I have another question that isn't answered here...
Pinterest gives you ideas. This bundle gives you direction.
It bridges the gap between “I love this” and “I know exactly what my home needs.”
No worries at all. Please email me at hello@interiorsandko.com.au with your question and I'll get straight back to you.
