Workshops

Creating a home that feels right isn't about following trends or filling rooms with things you've seen on someone else's Instagram. It's about understanding how you want to live and shaping your space around that.

​

The Home Design Series is a collection of small, in-person evening workshops designed to guide you through the key stages of the design process. Each session pairs a short, considered talk with a hands-on creative exercise - giving you both the space to think and the tools to start designing your own space with confidence.

​

Sessions are small by design. With up to eight people in a relaxed venue and drinks on arrival. Whether you have a project in mind, a room that's been bothering you for years or you simply want to spend an evening with like-minded women talking about spaces you love, you're in the right place!

​

We'll serve drinks on arrival before a talk with Franny sharing how she approaches design. There will then be plenty of time for the guided creative session. 

​

All materials are provided on the night. You'll leave with the design board you create in the session and a process you can put into action at home straight away.

​

The Sessions:

​

Session One - Start With a Vision

Create a moodboard for your home

​

There's no single right place to start. Sometimes it's a fabric, a holiday or a colour you can't get out of your head. The trick is knowing what to do with it. In this session you'll learn how to build a moodboard that captures how you want your space to feel and turns whatever inspiration you've already got into a clear creative direction. You'll leave with a moodboard for a real room in your home and a process you can use again and again.

​

Session Two - Own Your Floorplan

Making your space work before you spend a penny

​

The layout of a room determines everything - how it feels to be in, how you move through it and what you can do with it, yet most people never question the one they've inherited. In this session you'll learn how to read a floor plan, understand scale and proportion, and experiment with different arrangements before anything gets moved or bought. You'll leave with a plan for your own space and the confidence to know it works.

​

Session Three - Colour With Confidence

A framework for choosing colours that feel right

​

Colour is where most people freeze. The options feel endless, the stakes feel high and the fear of getting it wrong keeps rooms beige for years. In this session we'll take the guesswork out of it. You'll learn how we approach colour at Ches & Co - how light, tone, texture and layering all play a part - and work through a colour story for your own space using real paint samples, swatches and imagery. You'll leave with a palette you've built yourself and the reasoning to back it up.

​

We're offering a launch price of £65 + VAT per session for this first series. Once dates are confirmed, places will be limited to eight per session.

In the meantime, if you have a project you'd like to talk through, you're always welcome to book a discovery call - we'd love to hear what you're working on.
