The chill zone is the bit right at the beginning of your renovation project that lulls you into a false sense of security. It’s slow work, it’s all quiet and calm, you’re waiting around for everyone (meetings, calls, visits) and you think it’s going to take foreeeeeeever! And then bam…… a million questions, a million decisions, a million miles an hour = Stress + rush + panic….. + a whole lotta rushed decisions and compromises, and not being able to do what’s on your vision board because the decisions are well a little #lastminute ⏩ Swipe for part TWO of some of the things you need to start thinking about whilst you’re in the chill zone, and head back a few days if you missed part one!

Which Designer Are You? Find the fixes below.... 👇 1 THE DREAMER By having a detailed plan, you can confidently begin the process of choosing pieces that enhance the space and function well with everything else in the room. 2 - THE SUPERHERO Trust me, even the pros like to have a second opinion. Nobody’s perfect. Having expert knowledge in your corner will definitely increase the bottom line of your project! 3 - THE CONTORSIONIST The plan involves every aspect of your design which of course includes measuring and knowing every inch of the space you’re working with. Before purchasing furniture, always visualise it in your mind and draw it out on paper. 4 THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS A basic principle of design is scale and proportion. Understanding how the size of an item in comparison to other items in the space, and the overall size of the room, has a big impact on how the space will look. 5 THE BRADLEY WALSH OF THE COLOUR WHEEL You definitely don’t have to be matchy-matchy. A neutral paint colour such as grey, white or beige can be a safe bet if you like to change your décor often. Remember that you can always inject pops of colour with decorative accents, artwork, cushions and throws. 6 THE DRILL SARGENT Pull that furniture away from the wall, even just a little bit and see what you think. Even a few inches can be enough to give the room a perception of more space, cramming things up to your wall makes it feel like your furniture is too big and you don't have the space. 7 THE MOTHER OF TWINS While good design should consist of a balanced and symmetrical look, there is such a thing as going overboard. A room with balanced symmetry is pleasing to the eye, unless you double up on everything. 8 THE MAGICIAN When you have a sofa against the wall, ensure that at least the front legs of all furniture pieces grouped together are on the rug.
