THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM
The reality of building a home
The reality of building a home
Building a home should feel exciting – so don't let these get in the way.
01
DECISION FATIGUE
When you’re building a home, you’re faced with hundreds of decisions. Without a clear process, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and second-guess every choice.
02
COSTLY MISTAKES
Some of the most important design decisions are made long before your home is finished. Getting them wrong can lead to costly mistakes that are difficult to fix later.
03
NO GUIDANCE
Most homeowners don’t have access to professional design guidance. As a result, they’re left trying to figure out every decision on their own.
With over 16 years of experience, Geri has designed and delivered a wide range of luxury projects, creating timeless, high-end spaces for clients around the world.
THE SOLUTION

LEARN HOW A DESIGNER APPROACHES YOUR HOME
LEARN HOW A DESIGNER APPROACHES YOUR HOME
"I built this course so that anyone building a new home has access to the same thinking process I use in my own studio – without the cost of a full-service designer."
You’ll also get access to a private community where you can ask questions and get feedback or advice on your project, both from other members on the same journey and from Geri herself.
After completing the program, you’ll have a clear, proven design process to follow in your own projects, along with a strong theoretical foundation.

By the end, you won't just have a finished house. You'll have a home you made confident, informed decisions about — and that you'll love living in for years.

The course is well laid out, easy to follow, you can do it at your own pace which for me as a busy mom was really important. I wish this course was available 5 years ago when I built my house as I now want to rebuild it and fix areas of problems I now see from my learnings on the course.

Hi, I’m Geri O’Toole - an interior designer with over 16 years of professional experience and founder of Geri Designs, an award-winning luxury interior design studio based in Ireland.
Over the past 16 years, I’ve designed and delivered high-end residential projects for private clients, built a studio recognised for timeless, considered interiors, and developed a clear, repeatable design process used across hundreds of real projects.
In 2024, I began translating that professional experience into education through Geri Designs Academy, where I teach the exact frameworks, room-by-room approach, and decision-making process I use in my own studio - so homeowners can confidently design their own spaces without relying on a full-service designer.
Since launching the Academy, I’ve had the pleasure of helping hundreds of homeowners design their dream homes - and I hope to help many more.
