You’ve probably said it yourself.
Standing in your living room… staring at the walls, the mismatched furniture, the half-finished projects.
Thinking: “Where do I even begin? What if I spend thousands… and still get it wrong?”
You’ve saved ideas, scrolled endless Instagram worthy interiors, maybe even bought pieces you loved. But somehow it doesn’t fit. It feels random. Like you’re one wrong choice away from another expensive mistake.
And the longer you wait, the more stuck you feel.
I get it - because I’ve seen it over and over.

Alison felt the same way. She tried DIY-ing her dream home interiors. Bought the furniture. Repainted the walls. Changed her mind. Bought it all again. Still not right.
She told me, “I don’t have the experience… I can’t make a decision.”
When I showed her how to edit her ideas and pull everything into one moodboard, she finally saw it. The flow. The harmony. The “this is it” moment.
And here’s the punchline: her once-frustrating home ended up featured on Channel 9’s Dream Homes Revealed.
That’s the power of having a system.
Because the truth is: design isn’t about being “creative.”
It’s about following the right steps, in the right order, so you can make confident decisions without second-guessing yourself.
That’s why I created DesignerSecrets – The 7 Step DIY Your Home Interior Design System™.
It’s my 20+ years of professional design experience, distilled into a clear, simple process that takes you from overwhelm to house-proud.
Here’s what you’ll learn inside:
MODULE 1: Your Budget, Style + Wishlist
Finally get clarity on your budget, your unique personal style, and what matters most to you.
MODULE 2: Your Colour Scheme + Flow
Build colour schemes that actually work and learn how to create a moodboard you’ll use as your design compass.
MODULE 3: Your Room Layouts
Discover how to assess each room’s size, shape, and features so layouts feel natural, functional and flow.
MODULE 4: Your Big Ticket Items + Schedule
Source furniture, cabinetry, finishes and fittings… then lock it all into a finishes schedule that keeps you on track.
MODULE 5: Your Lighting
Layer lighting for function, comfort and mood, so your home feels warm and welcoming.
MODULE 6: Your Furniture, Fabrics + Décor
Choose the right furniture, fabrics, and window treatments that suit your budget and style
(no more costly mismatches)
MODULE 7: Your Collectables, Art + Styling
Add the final polish: art, collectables and styling touches that bring personality and joy to your home.
By the time you’re done, you’ll have:
A step-by-step roadmap for every design decision
Confidence to say “yes” (or “no”) without hesitation
Rooms that flow together, instead of clashing
A home that finally feels like you
And yes — you’ll likely save thousands by avoiding the mistakes most homeowners make

"I've streamlined everything now."
"We are in the process of doing a renovation and I'm at the point where I actually need to start picking tiles and and colour coordinating and vanities and handles and paint colours and accessories etc. that need to go into the bathroom and I was really scared I was going to be making expensive mistakes. So I wanted to figure out a way to be able to put it all together. I actually feel a lot more in control of understanding what my style is and not trying to put so many ideas that I was completely confused. I've streamlined everything now.
I've edited, as Susie likes to say, edit all all your ideas and I've really pinpointed my style now and I feel confident that I'll be able to carry that style throughout the whole renovation."
- Tracey R.

“Oh my gosh, I never could have seen how it all flowed if Susie hadn’t shown me!”
- Alison J.

Susie's Designers Secrets workshop fast tracked me to stick to, and clarify my style I was intending for a new kitchen, I picked up some helpful tips, and gave me the confidence to go forward, without making costly mistakes along the way.
- Dana. S

I learnt the importance of doing a Fixtures and Finishes Schedule, and I’ve almost finished doing one for our renovation to better inform the builders on what they’re quoting on.
Entering everything into the schedule spreadsheet, has completely streamlined our renovation!
