How do I stop regretting my home renovation?

Independent research across 1,265 New Zealand homeowners found that 42.3% were unhappy with the finished look and feel of their renovation — not the quality of the work, but whether it actually reflected who they are.

Because of your uniqueness, you have a very personal relationship with interior design, colours, styles, and textures. To feel greater happiness in your home, you must know and communicate this clearly before starting any home improvement project.

Unfortunately, 42.3% of people who engage with an interior designer, or architectural service (or DIY), will say, “Something is missing here” at the end of the home improvement process. In addition, room makeovers waste up to 29.6% of the overall project on costly and embarrassing rework.

Don’t let that be you!

INTRODUCING...

Most renovation regret has nothing to do with the builder or the designer. It comes from starting a project before you understand your own design personality. As a qualified architect and interior designer, I developed the Austin Home Method specifically to solve this — so you arrive at every project knowing exactly what you want, and why.

It solves 3 major problems in the residential home improvement industry: 

I have created Your Unique Home Design Personality course which uses The Austin Home Method® to directly solve these 3 major problems in a fun and interactive way in the comfort of your home.
