WHY CHOOSE SPACES REFINED TO HELP YOU ON YOUR RENOVATION JOURNEY?
Renovating your home is a deeply personal journey—one that also requires vision, clarity, organisation and guidance to be done successfully. At Spaces Refined, I understand the ambition behind your dreams and provide the expertise to bring them to life without unnecessary stress or cost.
Here’s why homeowners like you choose to work with me.
No. 1
BUILDERS BUILD, THEY DON’T DESIGN
While builders are vital to your project, their role is focused on construction, not creation or coordination:
Limited time for exploration: Builders prioritize execution, leaving little room for design support or evaluating options.
Restricted supplier networks: Preferred suppliers can limit your choices, leaving innovative or tailored solutions off the table.
Profit-focused priorities: Their goals may not align with your desire for a bespoke result.
Builders are invaluable, but they’re not equipped to guide your vision from start to finish.
No. 2
ARCHITECTS & DESIGNERS: VALUABLE & EXCELLENT BUT SOMETIMES NOT NECESSARY
Lengthy timelines: A fully guided process can take 4–6 months before construction begins.
Significant costs: Typical fees average 12% of your total budget, which may not align with your goals.
With Spaces Refined, you receive expert insight without the full-time commitment, allowing you to invest in the areas that matter most.
With Spaces Refined, you get the expertise you need—on your terms—allowing you to focus your budget where it matters most.
No. 3
PLANNING IS POWER AND CONTROL!
Taking time to prepare before breaking ground isn’t a delay—it’s the foundation of a successful renovation:
Clarity from day one: Starting with a strategic plan and a clear vision eliminates confusion and ensures every decision is intentional.
A home that flows: Thoughtful planning creates a cohesive, seamless design that feels natural and effortless.
Minimized delays and costs: With clear budgets, timelines, and lead times in place, you reduce the risk of costly mistakes or compromises.
The weeks you spend upfront save months of frustration later.
No. 4
WE’RE MORE THAN RENOVATION COACHES!
Unlike other renovation consultants or coaches, my expertise is grounded in over 25 years of hands-on experience as both an architect and interior designer specializing in high-end family homes. I provide a unique blend of strategic guidance and design insight that ensures your project is both beautiful and functional:
Strategic problem-solving: I anticipate challenges before they arise, helping you avoid costly mistakes.
Holistic expertise: My experience spans architecture and interior design, meaning I can address both the big picture and the details in ways others simply can’t.
No. 5
CONTROL WITHOUT CHAOS
Renovations can quickly spiral out of control, especially when decisions are made on the fly. Spaces Refined ensures you remain in control:
Clarity and confidence: You’ll be equipped with a clear plan and strategy, reducing stress and uncertainty.
Flexible guidance: I offer just the right level of involvement, so you can stay hands-on without feeling overwhelmed.
Cost efficiency: By avoiding unnecessary expenses and costly mistakes, you’ll have more resources to invest in the features that matter most.
No. 6
THE COST OF MISTAKES
The hidden financial and emotional toll of missing out on strategic guidance:
Missed opportunities: Without expert input, you may miss out on design optimisations or details that would elevate your space.
Rework and delays: Poor planning can lead to indecisiveness, redoing work, delayed timelines, and additional costs.
Unnecessary compromises: Without a clear vision, you might settle for subpar solutions simply because you didn’t know better options existed.
