The Decorating Roadmap eBook
At The Designory, we believe great design goes hand-in-hand with meaningful impact. That’s why we’re proud to give back 20% of our ongoing profits from our eBook Collection to causes that matter—amplifying the positive change our work can inspire.
When purchasing an eBook you can choose from three incredible charities that align with our core values of care, community, and sustainability:
ReLove – furnishing safe and beautiful homes for women and families escaping domestic violence or homelessness.
Greenfleet – restoring native forests to offset carbon and protect our planet for future generations.
One Roof – empowering women entrepreneurs and leaders to thrive in business and beyond.
If no preference is specified, your project’s profit contribution will be equally split across all three charities—ensuring broad, lasting impact.
Together, we’re designing a better future.
A NOTE FROM MEL
Decorating is often seen as the “fun part” of the home journey—but anyone who’s stood in a furniture showroom or scrolled endlessly through Pinterest knows it can be just as overwhelming as any renovation.
Over the years, I’ve watched countless homeowners get stuck at this final stage—unsure how to bring everything together, second-guessing their choices, or ending up with beautiful pieces that don’t quite work together. And I get it. Styling a home is personal. It’s about how you live, what you love, and how you want your space to feel every day.
The Decorating Roadmap was created to take the stress out of that process.
Inside this guide, I’ve distilled the principles and systems we use at The Designory to create layered, lasting, and liveable interiors—from defining your personal style to choosing investment pieces, balancing colour and texture, and creating rhythm throughout your home. You’ll also find prompts and tools to help you make decorating decisions with confidence, not just taste.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a space that feels like home—for you, your family, and your lifestyle. I hope this guide gives you the clarity and permission to do just that.
