You've bought things you love, saved endless inspiration and perhaps even redecorated, but something still feels off and you can't quite put your finger on what it is.
Before you choose another paint colour, buy another cushion or decide the floor, fireplace or sofa simply has to go, there may be a much simpler explanation.
In this free guide, I'll show you the 7 things I look at as an interior designer when a room just isn't quite working, so you can spot what's really getting in the way and get much clearer about what to tackle next and what you may not need to change at all.

You love your home and have plenty of ideas, but sometimes you simply don't know which choice is the right one.
You find yourself putting off decisions because you're worried about getting them wrong, wasting money or choosing something you'll regret.
You've saved endless inspiration, looked at hundreds of paint colours, sofas, curtains and rugs, and somehow ended up less sure than when you started.
You already have furniture, flooring, artwork or things you love and want to make what you have work, rather than automatically replacing everything.
Sometimes you just wish you could show an interior expert your actual room and ask them what you should do.
And you definitely don't want another course or a pile of homework. You want somewhere to bring your decorating questions as they come up and get experienced, practical advice about your own home.
That's exactly what Beautiful Home Academy gives you.

This isn't traditional interior design, where you hand over your room and pay hundreds of pounds for someone else to design it for you.
And it isn't another interior design course where you have to work through lessons and somehow become your own interior designer.
It's somewhere in between, and that's exactly the point.
You still make the decisions and create your home.
But when you get stuck, you can show me photographs of your actual room, tell me exactly what's bothering you and ask me the question that's going round and round in your head.
Will this colour work with my floor? Is this sofa too big? What should I do with this fireplace? Which of these fabrics would you choose? Why does this corner still look wrong?
I'll look at your room with an interior designer's eye and help you see what I see, so you can make the decision and move forward.
Think of it as having an interior designer in your back pocket, without the cost of hiring one every time you need a bit of help.

“I literally cannot recommend Heather enough! I actually thought I was not too bad at interior design but I’ve learnt so much in just an hour! Thank you, Heather! Can’t wait for next session!"
~Hayley G.
“I’m loving working this way with you Heather and really enjoying doing up my home with your help. I love that you’ve helped me re-use some of my own things and showed me the potential of my house that I’d never have thought of.”

Two Live Design Support Calls each month
Bring your room, your photos and whatever you’re stuck on. I’ll look at it with you and give you my professional advice, so you know what to do next.
Your Beautiful Home Academy Planner
A practical workbook to work through your room and make decorating decisions in the right order. Use it when you need it. It’s there to help you get clear, not to give you homework.
Your Design Support Call Replay Library
Can’t make a live call? No problem. Every Design Support Call is recorded, so you can catch up whenever it suits you and dip into previous calls when someone else has asked about something that’s useful for your home too.
Practical Guides from Real Member Questions
As useful questions come up inside the Academy, I turn some of my advice into simple guides you can keep and refer back to. So the library grows from the things members actually need help with.
Your Private Facebook Group
A place to keep in touch and post your decorating questions and photographs ready for the next Design Support Call. This means I can see what you’re stuck on beforehand and come to the call ready to help, even if you can’t join me live.
Professional interior design advice for just £27 a month
Beautiful Home Academy gives you access to my professional interior design advice for a fraction of what you might expect to pay for private interior design help.
And you don't have to have a whole room or project ready. Rooms take time, life gets in the way and decorating decisions crop up when they crop up. You can use the Academy at your own pace and bring me your questions when you need me.
In fact, getting a professional opinion before you buy could easily save you more than your monthly membership. One wrong tin of paint, a rug that doesn't work or an expensive piece of furniture you regret can cost considerably more than £27.
£27 a month. No contract. Leave whenever you like.
