Get excited about your house!

Over the past three weeks I have achieved something I wanted to achieve when I first started Positive Interiors. Get people to fall in love with their house again!

As we all live our busy lives we forget to do all the little things that make our homes great. Whether it's reorganise a room, utilise furniture in a better position in the house or de-clutter, it's amazing how much more space you create!

This week I helped a client to see past the clutter, give them de-cluttering tips and help them visualise how their house can look. Whilst there my client got so excited about finding their house again and using the space more effectively. They were considering moving but have now changed their mind as they have everything they need in the house they just needed to find it again! Together we have re-ignited the passion for the property and it feels great to be a part of that!

My ideas consultation really can change the way you live and help you to love your house. If you are interested in having a chat please don't hesitate to contact me! Prices start at £85!

Give your property a health check with the Property Doctor!

When you walk into your house do you feel depressed at the amount you have to do to get it looking how you want? Take it in stages, concentrate on one room at a time and finish that room before you start another!

Here is one of my top tips to help you visualise your transformed room on your budget.

• Make a folder with plastic insert envelopes for each room and when you find a picture of something you like cut it out and slip it in.
• If you flick through magazines and see something you like, cut it out and stick it in your folder.
• Ensure that you make a note of where the item is from and how much it costs.
• Print out web pages with prices of items you find online.
• When you are ready to create your room look through the pictures you have collected and filter them out to favourites.
• Place them on a large piece of paper to see how well they work together, create your own mood board!
• Get material samples to add to your board to give it texture. If you can feel something it is easier to imagine.
• If you want wallpaper, add a sample of one your like onto the board.
• Go to your local DIY shop and get paint swatches of colours and stick them on too.

You will have an overall theme planned out in front of you and you can visualise how your room will look! Good luck and please email me pics of mood boards you create!

Hi there, please let me introduce myself, I am Linda Gale and I am an Interior Designer, Property Presentation Consultant and Project Manager, and here's a little background on me!

Having been involved in various aspects of property for about 20 years I decided it was time to marry together my project management, customer service and creative flair to form my own company, Positive Interiors. I wanted to start a business that I could work around my two wonderful children and hopefully make them proud of me!

Having designed and project managed the built and two large rural properties I know how trades work and how to communicate with them! I know how to get the best from them and believe me I've had lots of practice.

In my blog I will be giving you tips and hints on how to improve your property, help you to create a home you will love to live in or give you tips on how to improve your property before it is marketed for sale or rental.

Along the way I will share knowledge of special offers in the interior design field and some news on how my interior design business progresses. I will let you know what I'm up to give you an insight into the daily life of a creative working mum.

Hopefully you will find it of interest and if you have any questions please ask me, I'm a helpful soul!
