6 Room Design Rules to Live By

Room Design Rules to Live By

Wouldn't it be great to have a handy "Design Rules and Measurements Cheat Sheet" that you could refer to easily when:

You need to know how high to hang that dining chandelier or entry sconces
You need to know the exact clearance in a kitchen renovation for the dishwasher to the countertop or the space between can lights
You need to know exactly how wide your art and coffee table should be for the sofa your client purchased

When it comes to harmonious and function room design there are definitely rules for height, width and space measurements in each room that should be followed. The problem is... most people don't know them and are making big design mistakes!

I've always included these design rules in my Design Modules but thought it was more useful for ALL my clients to have a "Design Rules Cheat Sheet" they can easily access for all their staging and design projects.

Here's a Video Sneak Peek of the Design Rules to Follow Cheat Sheet PLUS a Bonus Download:

I've added this "Essential Room Design Rules" guide inside my HSR Staging and Design Certification course, my Expert E-Designer course and my even my Certified Color Expert course, so if you're a member... jump in and grab it!

For those of you who are not one of my members, I have a free guide that gives you a taste of some key design rules to follow, as well as the kind of materials people receive when they join my trainings...enjoy!

Starting a Career in Home Staging

What can I say Audra. You were the very first staging company that I selected when I started my staging business back in 2017 and here I am still. One of the reasons I selected you, there were many, was "hands down" all of the resources you provided. I am a resource queen myself and you totally spoke my language. Since then, I have taken your Color course and most recently E-Design. I must make a confession here, even though I absolutely love my successful vacant staging business, I am secretly having a love affair with everything color, design & redesign.

Thank you for opening up some many wonderful opportunities within this industry for so many of us and for having a huge positive impact on my life. I look forward to 2021 and seeing what is on the horizon for you and your next award winning innovation.

Warm Regards,
Theresa Ceglio, We Stage Jacksonville

I have been staging/redesigning for 20 plus years, Audra, your program/training has really fine tuned my business. I have been a little "accidental" because when you love what you do, and people love what you do, business comes without much effort. With the business plan, Black Book, marketing and numerous other checklist my business has become much more streamline, not to mention a greater bottom line.

HSR is the most comprehensive staging training I have come across. The ability to go at your own pace combined with the most detailed training sets anyone up for success. I feel extremely prepared to take my business to the next level.

I am thrilled that I have found this community and decided to bet on myself. Thank you Audra!!

If you are even considering taking this course, it must mean you love home design. STOP HESITATING! I was and am still blown away by the attention to detail, the amount of useful materials, and just the pure natural skill Audra has as an instructor. Bonus: She knows all about marketing and does not skip a beat on informing you of all of the many outlets/opportunities the staging world has to offer. With her help I was able to start my licensed business, Home Buzz Staging & Redesign in beautiful Palm Springs, CA. I grew up near the Coachella Valley & have even expanded my services to my home town of Joshua Tree. I started staging in WEEK ONE of this training! I was able to go in with a ton of confidence knowing that HSR and Audra had my back. I've already been successful in this business while staging vacant, occupied, and vacation rental homes. Airbnb staging and redesign is my absolute favorite! I can't wait to explore all of the other staging avenues! Thank you, Audra!!

This training has been truly amazing. I have spent many years helping other start their business in the real estate industry and I began to notice that the ones who didn't start with the cornerstones to build thier business are the ones that struggle to succeed. This training did just that! It helped me design my business to represent me while also giving me the direction on how to get the ball rolling the right direction and keep the momentum going.

I highly recommend the HSR Staging Course! There is no way I would have ever taken this step without all the know-how Audra provides, in addition to all the forms necessary. I love that the program is go at your own pace, and Audra is so relatable! Thanks so much!!
