From early inspiration to final installation, Shelley shares her process for achieving “liveable luxury,” a blend of beauty, durability, and function that supports real life in all its glorious messiness.She unpacks why proportion, circulation, and cabinetry matter more than any Pinterest board, and how materials, colour, and natural light need to work with, not against, New Zealand’s unique conditions. Shelley also opens up about the emotional arc of a renovation or new build, and the pivotal role a designer plays in helping clients make the right choices in the right order.Throughout the conversation, Shelley explains how thoughtful design decisions affect how you live, not just how things look. She shares what to expect in the design journey and how to avoid regret spending, while highlighting the often underestimated impact of built-in joinery compared to expensive styling. Shelley also reflects on the power of collaboration with trades and how to keep those relationships productive and positive.To round out the episode, she offers one smart move for each of the four major homeowner journeys, helping listeners understand how great design can align with any stage of homeownership. Whether you’re updating a single room or building from scratch, Shelley’s message is clear: the most luxurious spaces are the ones that feel calm, functional, and uniquely yours.You can watch this episode by visiting TrendsProperty.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
