Design Decision Intensive for Renovations & New Builds
Expert interior design guidance helping homeowners confidently move forward with renovation and building decisions across the Hunter Region, Newcastle and Australia-wide online.
Stop second-guessing your selections and gain professional clarity before costly decisions are locked in.
When Clients Typically Book a Design Decision Intensive
You don’t need full interior design support — but you know the next decisions matter.
Most clients come to us when they are:
About to finalise selections with their builder
Feeling unsure about finishes or colour direction
Wanting professional confirmation before ordering materials
Managing their own renovation but needing expert oversight
Concerned about making expensive mistakes
Trying to bring multiple ideas into one cohesive plan
If this sounds familiar, the Design Decision Intensive provides clarity exactly when it’s needed most.
What Is a Design Decision Intensive?
The Design Decision Intensive is a private three-hour working session designed to help homeowners resolve key renovation or new build decisions with expert guidance.
Rather than navigating selections alone, you gain direct access to professional interior design expertise — ensuring your choices align with your home, lifestyle, budget and long-term vision.
Available in our Hunter Region studio, serving Newcastle and surrounding NSW areas, or online Australia-wide.
What We Can Resolve Together
During your intensive session we work through the decisions creating the most uncertainty in your project.
Clients typically:
✔ Validate design choices with confidence
✔ Finalise colour palettes and material selections
✔ Review layouts and spatial flow
✔ Align finishes with architectural style
✔ Avoid costly renovation mistakes
✔ Gain clarity before construction progresses
You will also access our curated material library and professional design insight normally available within full interior design projects.
How the Design Decision Intensive Works
Renovation decisions become easier when there is a clear structure guiding the process. The Design Decision Intensive is designed to provide focused clarity exactly when you need it.
1. Preparation Before Your Session
Before we meet, you’ll share your plans, inspiration and current challenges so we understand where decisions are feeling unclear.
This allows our time together to be practical, focused and highly productive.
2. Your 3-Hour Intensive Session
During your session, you will work directly with Naomi Findlay to review priorities, refine selections and resolve the decisions holding your project back.
Together we may review:
floor plans and layouts
finishes and materials
colour direction
fixtures and fittings
spatial flow and functionality
builder selection requirements
Sessions take place in our Hunter Region studio or online for clients Australia-wide.
3. Clear Direction Moving Forward
By the end of the session, clients typically leave with confident decisions, aligned selections and a clear pathway forward for their renovation or build.
Additional support can be provided if your project later requires further design involvement.
Who This Service Is Perfect For?
The Design Decision Intensive is ideal for homeowners who want professional design guidance without engaging full interior design services.Many clients later continue working with Findlay & Co as their renovation progresses.
A Professional Starting Point
Many homeowners begin with a Design Decision Intensive before moving into full interior design support.
If your project later requires deeper involvement, this session creates a strong foundation for ongoing collaboration with Findlay & Co.
