A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS TO JOIN...
The next Style Lab begins November 14th!
Barbara
Creating Style Lab has been a real dream of mine and I am so excited to be able to take you inside the inner workings of Make Room and empower and inspire you to take on your own styling journey. It’s an engaging resource jam packed with industry knowledge, years of experiences from me and my team and easy to use resources, tools and tips. We reveal our step by step processes, top secrets, dispel misconceptions and have a lot of fun along the way.
In short, it’s the resource I wish I had eleven years ago when I started my design journey.
So if you’re looking to breath life into an old space or style a new home from the ground up, want to stretch your budget by taking control of your project, are a complete amateur or self-proclaimed design buff, this is for you.
After all, my motto is #behappyathome.

✏️ FABULOUS STEP-BY-STEP MODULES ✏️
MODULE 1
BE HAPPY AT HOME
Before we jump in the deep end, it’s time to slow down a little to get to the root of who you are and what your individual, unique and beautiful interior style is. We are going to find out what makes you tick, what you're drawn to, how to translate your personality into a style, how to create a mood board and basically, how to get your vision in your brain onto paper so that we have an aim to work towards.

MODULE 2
TRUE COLOURS
This is called the Style Lab for a reason - there is truly a little bit of science behind the magic, and we’re going to jump right into colour theory for our first science lesson! Colour is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of design so before we can proceed, we’ll make sure you spend some time with the colour wheel, learning about what colours work - or don’t work - together. Whether you’re setting a colour palette for an entire house or a tiny little nook, it is going to be what holds everything together.

MODULE 3
MATTER OF SPACE
Now that we know our style and have mastered colour theory, next up in space planning. I don’t have many rules, but I never go shopping without having a clear and thoughtful floor plan or grasp on my space planning. Without clear and considered space planning, I guarantee you will be left frustrated with how your home functions and I’m here to make sure you never second guess yourself again - and this all starts with the foundations of your space planning.

MODULE 4
ROAD MAP
This module is going to be about appreciating the small stuff, and by that I mean lighting, colours, material, texture. But don’t get me wrong— I may call it the small stuff but by no means is it light work. It's the meat of it all. This module we will be honing in on the details with a more tactile perspective if you will.

MODULE 5
STYLE GURU
We end the course on the best bit. Here is where I teach you about different styles and trends which will give you the confidence to successfully transform any space, building off the foundational information of the previous four modules. I also share the easy-to-avoid mistakes, do’s and don'ts, and lots of my go-to tips. With that you will get a much better sense of how to get a room from good to great. Plus we dive into how to style different surfaces, including your big, blank walls!

SENSATIONAL SEMINARS
Join Barbara once a week via Zoom to run through the module and impart her wisdom! This is your chance to ask all your burning questions, pick my brain and even turn your camera around to show Barbara your room!
How is the course delivered?
Style Lab content is delivered in bite-sized chunks of information via a private portal. You will get an email every Monday when new content has been released with all of the log in and access details. You will have lifetime access to this portal so you can check back whenever you need a refresher.
How does Style Lab work?
Style Lab is spread over five modules, with one module released once a week. Generally speaking, each module will be divided into 3 lessons with mini assignments and activities spread across the module to get you thinking critically about all the tips, tricks and knowledge that has been shared.
The course is designed for you to work at your own pace, at a time (and location - you don't have to be in Singapore!) that suits you. You can start whenever you like and dip in and out, because we get it, life can get in the way sometimes! That said, we like to release the modules weekly to help you keep a rhythm, and we have our weekly Live sessions via Zoom so that we can chat in more detail about the weeks' module or about anything related to your project.
All in all, Style Lab is made up of introductory videos, chunky PDF's, bonus content such as our Little Black Book and other surprises, worksheets and don't forget, you'll be joining our growing community of Style Lab alumni!
What's different about Style Lab compared to other interior styling courses?
I have been in the interior design and styling world for over 12 years now and not only have I founded Make Room, a leading boutique interior design firm, I have also worked with and trained dozens of stylists along the way. So with that in mind, I didn't want to just dump all the Style Lab content on you and run away — I want to get to know you personally through our weekly Zoom sessions. On top of that I make sure to stay active in our privated Facebook community to help provide that extra support or sounding board when needed.
I'm a strong believer that interior styling is a very personal reflection of those living in the home, and not a copy + paste from Pinterest, so Style Lab is not tailored to one specific style — I will teach you how to apply all of my tricks and knowledge to any interior.
How do I know if this is the right fit for me?
Style Lab has been designed for anyone with any interest in making a home you love. So whether you've got a keen eye for detail and fill your free time scheming up design plans and creating mood boards, or if you have no idea what you like or where to start, Style Lab will show you how to create a beautiful space.
You don't need to come with any experience, but if you are creative and have tried your hand at styling in the past, you're just as welcome! I will show you how to curate what you already have, alongside teaching you where to shop for specific accessories, how to shop sustainably for furniture, how to mix styles, which colours are best for certain rooms, and so much more.
The team has been amazing in making my dream home come true! You guys have been super supportive and really put thoughts into how to make it work for me. Huge appreciation to al! :)

We were lucky to be recommended Make Room! Barbara and team came up with suggestions, pictures and concrete designs. Most importantly, Make Room took away almost all the stress that comes with any renovation, and delivered a well designed, functional and beautiful place where we felt at home right away.
Ben Cranen
Every visitor who came to our house will definitely tell us that they love our house and how it was so nicely done up. I'm secretly loving all the compliments from them. I will not hesitate to recommend my friends and family about Make room. Thank you so so much for making my house looking so great and fabulous!
