This is a supportive space for Design DIYers who want to make confident, informed decisions about their homes — without overwhelm, pressure, or perfection. There is a one-time membership fee charge to join the community. All fees are non-refundable and all members agree to the 'Code of Conduct' listed here.
Inside the DesignIY community, you can:
Ask practical design and renovation questions
Share progress, plans, and challenges
Learn how to apply the Seven Layers of Design™ to real homes and real budgets
Build confidence in your design choices over time
There are no “silly questions” here — just thoughtful conversations, shared learning, and encouragement.
Design isn’t about trends or rules.
It’s about understanding your space, your lifestyle, and making choices that work for you.
Welcome — you’re in the right place!
Community Code of Conduct:
To keep this a positive, helpful space for everyone:
Be kind, respectful, and constructive
Support different budgets, homes, and design styles
No shaming, judgement, or negativity
Keep advice practical and experience-based
No selling, self-promotion, or spam
This community is about learning, confidence, and encouragement — not perfection. Any member who breaks the code of conduct will be removed permanently with no refund of membership fee.
