You don’t need a full redesign. You need the right decisions.
A focused, in-home design consultation for the rooms, choices and details that have you stuck.
Maybe the room is almost right. Maybe you’ve bought things you love, but they’re not coming together. Maybe you’re staring at paint samples, lighting, furniture, finishes or a layout and thinking:
That’s exactly what Designer SOS is for.
Book Designer SOS $695 + GSTTwo focused hours · In your home · Your biggest design questions — answered.
You may be closer to loving your home than you think.
Before you replace everything, renovate the room, or spend another weekend scrolling Pinterest and ordering things that might work, let’s figure out what is actually keeping the space from coming together.
Often, you don’t need more. You need clarity.
Professional direction without turning your home into a full-service design project.
You don’t have to hire a designer for an entire project.
Sometimes you don’t need months of design work, a large design budget, or a complete room overhaul.
You need an experienced designer standing inside your home, seeing the space the way you experience it and helping you make the right decisions — quickly and confidently.
Bring me your design dilemmas. We’ll solve them together.
Designer SOS is a focused two-hour in-home consultation built around your home and your questions.
We’ll prioritize the decisions that can make the biggest impact and work through them together in real time.
Walk away knowing exactly what to do next.
No drawn-out process. No full-service commitment. No leaving the consultation with even more decisions than you started with.
You’ll leave with professional direction, practical recommendations and clear next steps tailored to your home, style and budget.
What can we tackle in two hours?
Your session is built around the decisions that matter most to you.
Paint & palette
Choose colours and finishes that work beautifully with your light, flooring, fixed elements and existing pieces.
Layout & scale
Refine furniture placement, flow and proportion so the room feels balanced and intentional.
Lighting & styling
Elevate the atmosphere with lighting, art, rugs, textiles and finishing details.
Renovation decisions
Review cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing fixtures and hardware before you commit.
Selections you can’t decide between
The sofa. The pendant. The rug. The hardware. The artwork. Bring the contenders. We’ll decide.
The room that feels unfinished
We’ll identify what is missing and where your money will make the biggest visual difference.
You know your home could feel better — you just don’t know what to change.
Something still feels off.
You already have a beautiful home, but the room never quite feels finished.
You’re overwhelmed by choices.
You’ve saved dozens of options and now every decision feels harder, not easier.
You’re afraid of an expensive mistake.
You want confidence before buying the sofa, ordering the lights or committing to the paint.
You need someone to just tell you.
“Can someone please come over and tell me what this room needs?” Yes. That’s Designer SOS.
One well-considered decision can change the whole room.
Sometimes the most valuable part of a consultation is confirming the right finish, fixture or material before you commit.
We look at your actual lighting, flooring, cabinetry, furnishings and fixed elements so the decision is made in context — not from a tiny swatch or product photo in isolation.
Let’s make sure it belongs in the room.
A Designer SOS consultation can help you avoid expensive mistakes, unnecessary purchases and months of second-guessing.
Because the goal isn’t to fill your home with more things. It’s to make the things you choose feel right.

Sometimes you simply need the right designer in the room.
I’m Charmaine Wood, principal designer behind Do Up Interiors. My work spans custom homes, renovations, furnishings, new builds and investment properties.
Designer SOS gives you access to that same design perspective in a focused session — helping you see what isn’t working, simplify the decisions in front of you and identify the changes that will make the most meaningful difference.
Small choices create a more resolved whole.
Designer SOS can be just as valuable for one small space or a handful of material decisions as it is for a larger room.
Small space, considered
Proportion, lighting, finishes and details can completely change how even the smallest room feels.
Materials with personality
Confident selections work best when colour, texture, scale and the fixed elements of the home are considered together.
Real homeowners. Real confidence.
