The Way Forward

Helping your new home work for you

Moving home? - an exciting but often daunting proposition.

You may be downsizing and trying to work out what to take and what to leave behind.  You may also be thinking about purchasing some new pieces of furniture to suit your new home and lifestyle.

Bringing it all together to create a wonderful new home is what I can help you to do

I started The Way Forward as a service primarily to assisted with the transition from the family home to a retirement home.

I saw how stressful and emotional that transition could be. But also how rewarding and exciting it is if some of the stress is removed.

With my experience as a designer, I have often been involved in working out the best way to create a new space that still holds on to the memories and essence of the people that live in it, while embracing the next stage of my clients lifestyle.

The purpose of The Way Forward is to help to ease the stress levels and find the joy in the next stage of your life.

I can help to make the transition easier by:

  • Helping you decide what will fit and how to best arrange your new space.

  • Helping you to select and purchase new furniture to complement your existing pieces and create a fantastic space

  • Helping you with fabric selection and the recovering of your existing pieces of furniture

  • Helping you to select bedding and soft furnishing to complement your style

  • Helping you to arrange storage options for the treasures you simply can’t part with

  • Making suggestions of how to gift, sell, donate or dispose of
    items that won’t be coming to your new home

  • How much you would like me to help is entirely up to you.
