Homewings Design Bar Event

amomentwithfranca · 10 March 2017 · 29 Comments

Have you ever wanted to hire a professional interior designer to help redecorate a specific room of your home, but your dream was crushed or didn’t get off the ground because you couldn’t afford it? Well, now thanks to Homewings this is now possible! It is an online interior design platform for everyone! You will be able to afford talented professional designers who will redecorate your living room, dining room or bedroom and turn it into your dream space. I’m so excited to tell you all about it!

Homewings Design Bar Event

Homewings recently invited me to a fun design bar event in Shoreditch, London to introduce their great new concept. Homewings is an interior design service that brings great interior design to everyone. They are on a mission to make professional interior design accessible, affordable and fun for everyone.

Cornelia De Ruiter’s introduction to Homewing

Cornelia De Ruiter, co-founder and talented designer, gave us a lovely introduction to Homewings. She told us about their ethos and that she and all her team believe that you don’t have to be a design savvy millionaire to feel connected to your space and the impact it has on you and other people. She was so passionate about it. It was lovely to see!

It was very interesting to hear from all the team at Homewings. It is very clear that times have changed. We are now in the 21st century and everything is now done online. Homewings has captured that idea and has used it to their favour. They realise that this is how things work now and have found a way to reach and help more people using the technology.

Once on their website, they will match people with an interior designer perfect for that person. The designer will create the concept and complete it with a shopping list and instructions on how to turn it into reality.

They offer 3 packages for room design: basic for as little as £149, classic for £199 and premium for £349. Each package covered the following:

  • Basic – Style board and tailored furniture recommendations to get you started
  • Classic – Full design service from great designers at a best possible price
  • Premium – Full design service for those who want to work only with their most senior designers

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM ROOM – HOW DOES THIS WORK?

The Room Design package is a 4 stage process:

  1. You get online and tell Homewings about your style and taste
  2. Based on this information you will get matched with a designer who will be perfect for your project
  3. You will be working with your designer and a room concept will be built after this
  4. Finally, your Room Design Package is ready which includes a room layout and clickable shopping list

BAR DESIGNED EVENT

After meeting the team and learning how Homewings works, we then had the opportunity for a one to one session with an experienced designer to talk about a specific room in our homes.

I was very lucky as I got Cornelia. We talked about a room in my house that I want to redecorate. As you probably know because I have mentioned it a few times now, this room is my girl’s room. I showed her how it looks currently and explained to her what I was looking to achieve.

One of the main things I want to do is get a bunk bed, so we discussed that. She showed me different options and also ideas for the bedroom. It was really nice to get some feedback from her. I also got the opportunity to ask her more questions about Homewings and their website.

I was very intrigued as to how it worked. So she kindly did a “guided tour” of how the whole process works. It is actually very easy and simple. You get to discuss every single stage with your appointed designer. The software they use has been set up so you are completely involved in the whole process. You can make comments with each suggestion and decide to give it a thumbs up or down. I really like how it works. I’m very into technology so for me, this was a great way to visualise your dream room.

After our chat, we were all offered some drinks and nibbling. It was all really nicely setup and the team that we met were very welcoming and warm. I felt very comfortable. The venue was very cool too.

I was really impressed with this company. Overall, I thought their concept was amazing. I like the idea that hiring an interior designer can be accessible. They also give opportunities to many new talented interior designers who received no commission for their designs which make this service even more impartial. And the best of all is that it is done online so it will save you so much of your time which we all know is precious.

    What a brilliant idea – I think we all just assume that getting an interior designer will cost a huge amount but doing it this way doesn’t at all. We’re all living such busy lives that it’s very tempting to get your own designer and tell them what you’re looking for, then get their ideas. I have pretty eclectic taste in my house so not sure how it would work for me, and I like to source my own things, but I’d definitely think about it for the future.#KCACOLS

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
