In this episode I talk about one of my favourite phases of the entire renovation process: Dreaming! Picture this  …your home, not just as a place to live but as a canvas for the way you really want to live.  I invite you inside this episode to discover the secrets to crafting the living space that doesn't just house your memories but actively enhances your daily life. In today's chat, we'll navigate through the critical 'dreaming phase' of home renovation, uncovering how to fuse your personal taste with functional design. We spend 87% of our lives inside buildings …and how they are designed really affects how we feel and how we behave. So when I’m working with clients, I really encourage them to take the time  to dream about how they want to live, it may seem frivolous, but it  really does start to clarify the brief for the project. This is the stage I really start to get into their minds to dig around and find  out exactly what they want from their renovation.  It involves asking lots of questions and starting to look at images of what they envision their dream home to be.  And it’s something you can do for your own project to try and deeply  establish what is it you would love to achieve from your own renovation -  a chance to dream a little and find ways to bring all, or some, of that  into reality with your own home renovation. In this episode We get practical, but sprinkle in some creativity! From using flat-pack furniture cleverly to drawing inspiration from the unique architectural spirit of your property.  We also chat about style boards and sources of inspiration. So tune in, and let's transform your home visions into the solid reality of a space that truly reflects your originality! Join me inside this episode to find out more about this exciting phase.
