Before you approve the plans…
Get expert eyes on the decisions that could cost thousands to fix later.

Most renovation mistakes don’t happen during construction.  They happen earlier - when homeowners are asked to approve things like:

​

→ Kitchen layouts
→ Cabinet storage
→ Appliance placement
→ Island sizing
→ Lighting positions
→ Power locations

 

On a plan, these decisions look small.  But once construction begins, they become permanent.  The Renovation Decision Blueprint session gives you a professional design review before those decisions are locked in.

 

A private 60-minute strategy session where we review your plans, identify risks, and clarify the decisions that will shape how your home works every day.​

Investment: The Renovation Decision Blueprint™ -  $997 AUD

Renovations involve hundreds of decisions.

​

But a small number of them have a disproportionate impact on how the home works. Things like:

​

→ How a kitchen flows when multiple people are using it
 Whether cabinets actually hold what you need
 If appliance placement makes cooking easier or harder
 Whether walkways feel comfortable or cramped

 

These decisions often happen quietly inside drawings and joinery plans. And they’re usually approved quickly because they feel technical.

 

But once construction begins, changing them becomes expensive.

​

This session exists to review those decisions before they’re final.

Inside Your Renovation Decision Blueprint™ session​ we’ll review the plans and decisions currently shaping your renovation. This may include things like:

​

→ Kitchen layout and workflow
→ Cabinetry and storage planning
→ Appliance integration
→ Island sizing and clearances
→ Lighting and power placement
→ Material transitions and finishes

​

By the end of the session, you’ll know:

​

What decisions are working
What needs adjusting
What to approve with confidence​

The 5-Step Design Framework Used in the Session

​

During the session we apply my Dream Home Decision System™, the same structured process used in full-service interior projects.

​

This framework allows us to quickly identify risks and clarify decisions.

​

Step 1 - Lifestyle Alignment

Understanding how the home will actually be used day to day.

​

Step 2 - Spatial Flow Review

Checking that layouts allow comfortable movement and interaction.

​

Step 3 - Storage & Joinery Planning

Ensuring cabinetry supports real storage needs.

​

Step 4 - Appliance & Function Mapping

Positioning appliances and work zones for practical daily use.

​

Step 5 - Finish & Detail Coordination

Aligning materials, trims, and finishes so the space feels cohesive.

​

Instead of more opinions, this process creates clear, structured decisions.

This session is designed for homeowners who:

​

→  Are planning a renovation within the next 3–12 months
→  Already have plans or drawings but feel unsure about key decisions
→  Want professional design input without committing to full-service design
→  W
ant to avoid expensive layout or joinery mistakes

​

If you’re currently reviewing layouts, cabinetry plans, or appliance placements - this is the stage where expert input can make the biggest difference.

Pre-Session Questionnaire

​

Before the call, you’ll upload:

​

​

This ensures the session focuses on the decisions that matter most.

​

Your Private Design Session

During the 60-minute Zoom call we’ll review your plans together and apply the Decision System to clarify your renovation.

​

Post-Session Support

You’ll receive:

​

→ Full recording of the session

→ Written summary of next steps
→ 3 days of follow-up clarification support

You’ll also receive 30-day access to the same practical tools I use with full-service clients.

→ Vision Board Templates + Mini Masterclass - help you test ideas, pair finishes, and create a cohesive design direction that actually fits your home and budget.

→ The Dream Home Budget Tracker - shows you where every dollar goes - by room, trade, and supplier - so you stay on track and in control, visually.

→ The Paint & Tile Calculator - helps you order the right amount - no more last-minute runs, waste, or costly surprises.

 → The Furniture & Styling Calculator - reveals the real cost to furnish each space - so you can make aligned, regret-free decisions from the start.

→ The FF&E Schedule - organises every fixture, finish, and furnishing decision in one place - so nothing gets lost, forgotten, or left in your head.

​

These tools help you make decisions with structure instead of overwhelm.

A single design mistake in a renovation can cost thousands to correct later.

This session ensures the decisions you’re about to approve actually work for your home.

Because each session requires reviewing plans beforehand and providing follow-up support, I only take a limited number of Blueprint sessions each month.

​

If my calendar is full, the next available dates will open the following month.

I’m an interior designer who specialises in helping homeowners create spaces that don’t just look beautiful - they function beautifully too.

​

Over the years I’ve worked with clients navigating the exact moment you may be in right now: the stage where plans exist, but the decisions ahead feel overwhelming.

​

My role in this session is to bring clarity to those decisions so your renovation supports the way you actually live.

I was stuck between three kitchen layouts for weeks. In one call, we picked the right one - and avoided a $12,000 rework. Tash H., Brisbane

 

We were about to order all our finishes - and I had a panic attack. After our session, I was 100% clear. No regrets, no reorders, and I sleep better knowing it's right.  Emily S., Mornington Peninsula

 

My builder wanted decisions. My partner wanted to cut costs. I wanted it to feel like us. Maya helped me lead that with calm confidence - and we came in $8K under budget by making smart, aligned choices.  Maya W., Gold Coast

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just a fancy design chat?

No. This is about solving $10K+ design decisions with logic, insight, and alignment. We don’t float ideas - we make calls.

Do you take over my design?

No. You stay in charge. I help you connect the dots, filter the chaos, and lead with confidence.

Will I feel more overwhelmed after?

You'll leave lighter, clearer, and back in control. We remove noise, narrow your options, and give you direction.

What if I don’t know my style?

You don’t need to. We'll find your through-line by looking at how you live, what feels good, and what fits your space.

What if I’m embarrassed about how stuck I feel?

You won't be the first. Or the last. My job is to hold clarity when you can’t. No shame. Just smart support at the exact right moment.

What if I’m already halfway through my renovation?

That’s actually when many clients come to me - right in the thick of it. You’ve already made some decisions, but now you're facing layout limitations, selections fatigue, or a few things that aren’t feeling quite right.

​

This session is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're choosing the last finishes, fixing flow issues, or needing a second set of expert eyes before locking things in - we bring structure and clarity to whatever stage you're at.

How is this different from just using Pinterest or saving inspo on Instagram?

I have another question that isn't answered here...

Pinterest shows you what’s possible. This shows you what’s right - for your space, your lifestyle, and your priorities.

​

Inspo is helpful until it becomes noise. This session filters all of that into aligned, practical decisions that actually work in your home - and your real life. No more collecting. We clarify and commit.

Happy to help. Just send me a quick message [insert link to contact form or email] and I’ll get back to you with a clear answer - no pressure, no push.

​

This session is a premium experience designed to remove confusion, not add to it.
