ARE YOU:

Nervous about getting your home design right?

Overwhelmed by the amount of choices available or stuck creatively?

Worried you're going to waste money on a design you don't like?

It's time to create a clear, cohesive design plan that will get you your dream home, within budget!

Which course sould I start with?

If you're renovating a house or about to purchase a renovation that requires structural changes (i.e a kitchen extension, loft conversion, remodel or you're adding/removing walls) and you want to understand budgeting and timelines – we recommend working on the How to Renovate a House Online Course. If you're keen to deep dive into getting your design right, Home Design Lab will help you form a plan, invest in all the right pieces, and avoid rookie mistakes that can cause a mish-mash of styles. You’ll get your property finished beautifully in a way that will add value to your house (and life).

If you’re moving into a new home that doesn’t need structural work or if you want to give your existing home a facelift, it’s Home Design Lab you need.

When does the program start?

Enrolment begins the same day you enrol! You get instant access after you pay the one-time fee. All of my online courses are designed to be completely self paced which means that you can work through at a pace that suits you and your project. You can start, stop, pause and resume as and when your time and home/project require it.

Will you be on hand to answer any questions if I get stuck?

No, but I design each online course very carefully to ensure that you won't need to ask questions. I pour a huge amount of time and resources into each online course to make sure that they deliver results for you. If you follow each lesson carefully, implement the exercises in the order I’ve set out, give yourself time to reflect, dream and visualise and you'll find that you will achieve the results you didn’t think was possible.

Can I get a refund if this isn’t for me?

Absolutely. If you don’t feel that your home design planning has become more structured, less stressful and more inspired within 30 days of you following exercises in this course we will refund the entire cost of the course directly to your chosen payment method. I’m confident you’ll love it and get huge value. You need to put the work in though. This course won’t work its magic unless you turn up to it. It’s so much fun, it’ll be a breeze to follow.

I've taken your How to Renovate course, is there overlap?

There is very minimal overlap between the two courses – so don't worry on that front. Home Design Lab will help you deep dive in interior design to make sure you get a stunning finish on your renovation. It’s been amazing to see so many of my students from the How to Renovate a House Online Course go on to complete this program too. I'm delighted because it means that so many of you really care about getting your home design right. It's packed with new and exclusive content and tools you're going to get a lot of value from, not featured in How to Renovate a House.

How long will it take me?

It completely depends on how big your home is, how complex the room is (i.e kitchens and bathrooms take longer to design than bedrooms and living rooms) and how much experience you’ve had in design before. I’ve designed the modules to fit in with a busy schedule, so if you’re juggling a family, full time job and house project, the structure I show you will actually save you time by keeping you focused. I recommend working on one room for your first run through the course, to get a feel for the approach I set out and the tools and information. For an average sized room, it would probably take me 3 hours per module (i.e 12 hours to design each room using the exercises outlines) – it’s packed with value

Will there be a Facebook group?

Yes, but not yet! We will be opening a private Facebook community to connect Home Design Lab students in preceding months, subject to demand. We launched our Reno Club alongside our best selling How to Renovate a House Online Course in August 2020 and it opened our eyes to just how important it is to have community alongside learning. All founding members and alumni will be emailed an (optional) invitation to join the private Facebook group when it’s set up.

Can I get my work reviewed by a designer?

What makes this program different, is that you can choose (at any time) to submit your work to an interior designer for a 1 hour review. You can choose either myself or my trusted partner Deborah Plant, who specialises in renovations and kitchen extensions to review your plans for a small fee. We will offer you an honest opinion, suggest enhancements tailored to your home and budget, give you suggestions to push your design one step further, and recommend suppliers. The cost will be an additional £150 per session, made payable directly to the designer you work with prior to your call. To set this up, please email hello@fifimcgee.com with your Home Design Lab order number and ensure you have completed the modules to make the most of the call. You will be required to complete a pre-call questionnaire so that the designer is fully informed of your space, needs and any questions you want to cover on the call.

What if I’m not ready when the course starts?

No problem! When you sign up for Home Design Lab you get lifetime access to the course materials. That means you can start on any day you like and work at your own pace.

Why don’t I just hire an interior designer?

This course is for people who believe that they can do the designs themselves but need that extra bit of structure, accountability and know-how.

Interior designers are incredibly skilled / well trained so please be aware that this course doesn’t profess to make you or your home ‘interior designer’ level, but it does teach you some of the concepts and skills we practice as professionals so that you can start your home design journey in the right way. I also show you some of my client work which was a real hit with our pilot students!

I’m not based in the UK. Will this course still apply to me?

I produced this online course with UK homes and suppliers in mind, however, the process I share is universal and can be applied to your home no matter where you’re based. We’ve had students from Belgium and the USA take this course achieving fantastic results.

Can't I just collate design help from various sources?

If you're thinking you might be better off just continuing to muddle through and using Pinterest and online articles to help you get by, then you could continue down this path. But remember the videos, exercises and structure Home Design Lab gives you, you won't be able to access anywhere else online. I show you industry practices and an insiders view on how to formulate your design plans that free content won't scratch the surface on. I also show you my own work and approach as a designer which isn’t available anywhere else online.

I have another question before I join, how can I contact you?

Your questions answered

Wow, this course is fantastic! I had absolutely no idea where to start with designing my home, as I'm not a natural interiors person. The course is well paced with personable videos, text and worksheets that have honed a coherent and flowing design into my plans”

IS THIS YOU?

You’ve got tricky rooms that aren’t working on a practical level– there’s limited space, storage, light. You need answers, fast!

You want your home to reflect YOU and your family – screw the trends!

You struggle to visualise ideas and imagine how the finished rooms will look – that’s why you find decisions so tough

 

You just don’t know how to choose colours and make everything flow?!

Introducing Home Design Lab…

When I work with my interior design clients, they seem to struggle with the same challenges. They fear they’ll make mistakes. But I strongly believe that even if you have no experience whatsoever...

We have everything we need inside us to create a stunning home that suits our lifestyles and personalities.

You don’t need to spend ££s hiring a designer (unless you want to). You need access to the same information interior designers have in their back pocket to get the results you want. A framework to follow, and all the tools and cheat sheets we use daily.

Home design truths inside:

Why do I care? Here’s my story

I’m Fi, I'm a UK interior designer and owner of renovation + interior design company Fifi McGee.

I am someone who wakes up in the morning saying to Neil (my other half) “I’ve been dreaming about interiors again” True story, am I crazy? 😂

I’ve wrapped my arms around renovators and home owners for the last 7 years, helping people make their homes amazing but really my story starts much earlier than that…

When I was 10 I was, for a short time, homeless.

My family were not ‘begging on the street’ homeless, but we were without a home. I won’t go into the gory details here, and don’t worry, I won’t show you a slow-mo black & white montage of our misfortune set to Cold Play’s “Fix You” 😂

But my family and I hit a tough spot and we ended up being moved into a safe house for almost a year. Yes it was pretty awful. It was bunk beds, a shared bathroom with 5 other families and it was extremely unclean but we were dry, safe and could sleep. It meant the world to us at the time.

After a while, a council flat became available for us to move into. It was the best ever turning point for my family. We were given a new start. A place we could make our own, and feel truly at home, strengthening the core of our happiness and wellbeing as a family.

Now that I’m in my thirties, I can look back and understand that the low times opened my eyes to how important home is for all of us. I truly believe that if you make your home the way you want it, and make it speak to you and your personality, it embeds true joy, comfort, security and pride into your life. It can put you on a path to living your dream life...

In recent years since renovating my own house from a dated, unloved home to become the home of my dreams, and helping others to do the same via our online courses and my interior design service, I can’t tell you how much joy interior design has brought to mine and my client’s lives. It’s my mission to make home design easier for people. And to help others create homes they thrive in and adore. Home Design Lab is the result of many months work (and years of trial and error in design) to create that solution for you.

This online course will help you:

  • Cut through the noise of trends and land on a style that speaks to you + your family

  • Bring clarity and confidence to your colour, lighting + furniture decisions

  • Find answers to your layout concerns

  • Invest in the right ways to enhance your life as well as your home

  • Produce a design + action plan that will be straight forward to execute but next level to live in

  • Bring cohesion and flow to your home

"You have created an amazing programme!
We were an overwhelmed mess and had no idea how to start! The house already had a strong design but it wasn't to our liking and at the same time we were stuck and had no idea how to change it. Now we’ve learned how to create a cohesive look throughout the whole house."

Raquel Salgado

"I can now look at images or items and say in a second if it will work in our home or not! Thank you Fi!"

"I bought a new house that is a blank canvas for us to add our stamp on it. I was completely at loss as to where to even get started. The course provided a structure and a strategy to work through the decisions step-by-step and I loved it!"
