If you're a regular listener to my podcast, you'll know I don't often have guests on the show. I batch like 12 episodes in a day and the logistics of having guests usually doesn't work with that. But today I've got something special - a chat with my bestie, interior designer, and set designer, Naomi Findlay. Naomi and I have done a LOT of renovation projects together and partnered in a few businesses, so this is a juicy chat all about creativity, money, and friendship.
This expert answers the age-old question - do you buy capital growth properties that enable ongoing portfolio development, or do you look for strategic renovation potential? Renovation expert Naomi Findlay joins host Phil Tarrant to discuss whether investors should renovate to squeeze that extra value out of their properties or whether they should rely on the market to do the heavy lifting for them. Naomi explains what distinguishes renovation potential from a dud, as well as how to maximise a reno to secure the best possible return on investment.

Naomi is an excellent communicator and her passion for design and people is so evident in this episode. She shares why she loves design and the value it has added to her life and others. In this episode we talk about: How Naomi came to be an all-round renovator after obtaining a PHD and working as a senior lecturer in Medical Science. Naomi is an avid planner and intentionally created a 3-year plan to start her own business in design. The stereotypes of designers and how Naomi challenges them. Understanding the ‘how can we…' is important when it comes to working with contractors. Word of mouth is Naomi's biggest driver of business. Naomi believes that good design starts with the dream of the client. Renovating for profit vs personal renovations. The ‘Farms to Fortune Project' is all about breathing life into regional properties around Australia. Naomi works with many contracts and has a desire to see them enjoy what they are creating. Naomi's perspective on budgets and keeping the conversation around money open. Renovating outdoor living spaces can add huge value to a home. Naomi's tips for reducing drastic ageing when renovating. The recent change of collaboration between architects and designers. Naomi often consults with new-home buyers prior to purchasing a home. The order in which you renovate a space is important as it keep costs down. Naomi has intentionally involved her children in her work, so they learn why she loves what she does. Naomi's perspective on the recent world disasters and the impact these may have on trends in home design. Current projects; the ‘Rose Farm' with Denise Duffield Thomas and a 1980s home renovation.

Naomi Findlay reached out when lockdown was in full swing to offer her expertise to Recovering Perfectionists who suddenly found themselves spending FAR more time in their home spaces than ever before. She shares practical tips on how to make it a space you LOVE!
Today I’d like to share with you the story of Naomi Findlay. Naomi is a remarkably hard-working woman with a ridiculous amount of active projects, all of which aim to position her as Australia's queen of property renovation and home styling. She has a digital video series, Renovie, hosted on Youtube with nearly two hundred episodes and approaching two thousand subscribers. She has a blog and hosts a weekly podcast, Reno Radio. She has appeared on TV shows including Channel 9's Location Lifestyle Living and Channel 10's The Home Team. She created an app, Rapid Reno Mate, designed to make home renovation a breeze. She has designed and runs courses and workshops to assist people in many facets of renovating, styling and selling their home. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! The list goes on and on.Perhaps even more remarkable is that creating beautiful spaces was not the first career path Naomi chose for herself. In fact, Naomi is Dr Naomi Findlay PhD, and in a previous life worked for around 15 years in radiation oncology in Australia and around the world. To learn why Dr Findlay would completely overhaul her career in pursuit of a new life, first, we need to go back to day one, and hear the story of how two conversations with two mentor figures spaced a decade apart would end up sending Naomi down two very different paths.
Naomi Findlay (www.facebook.com/naomifindlayofficial) is Australia's Renovation Royalty. Naomi works with hundreds of homeowners around the country helping them create healthy, wealthy and beautiful spaces. She is the founder of NaomiFindlay.com and the International Institute of Home Staging, and a Mum to 4 beautiful children. Naomi was voted Ausmumpreneur's Rising Star of the Year and is a featured design expert on shows like Changing Rooms AU and The Home Team. - Naomi was in radiation oncology and medical science, did a PhD but was always searching for something to make her happy - realised she needed to just do what she loved - did design quals while doing - design, renovation and styling business - moved to teaching / courses / TV - having a plan is the best for when shit goes wrong - understand what makes us most efficient, productive and creative - space medicine - what's around us changes us on cellular levels - cells are effected by their environment - we are effected by our environment - 16% productivity and 17% creativity impacted by what's in our environment - connecting environment with nature - positioning desk to have a view - plants at eyeliner - using natural timbers in desk accessories - sansiveira - #1 air purifier - textures, patterns to create environment can increase relationship building - it's also about how the people you bring in to your space feel - pay attention to how spaces emotionally effect you - certain spaces can increase our heart rate, change cognitive ability, impact blood pressure etc - take note of what positively effects you - colours, textures - we collect so much stuff all the time - sometimes we think we don't like it... could just be what's relative - put all the accessories onto your dining table - then treat that like the shopping centre - what do you love as-is - what do you like... but... (needs to be a different colour, or if I cut the top off) - then top it up with 50% of other things you need / love - High / low in interiors (as in fashion) - lounges were $50 - upholstery cost $1000 - Branding - whatever's behind you needs to be on-brand - not too polarising or offensive - variety - - backdrops - space medicine - clear space
