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.

LEARN HOW A DESIGNER APPROACHES YOUR HOME
LEARN HOW A DESIGNER APPROACHES YOUR HOME
Geri Designs Academy teaches you Geri's exact design process — from the fundamental theory behind why certain decisions work, to a room-by-room walkthrough of how to approach every space in your new home.
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.
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.
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.

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.
In 2024, I began translating all of my professional experience into education through Geri Designs Academy, where I teach the exact 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 thousands of homeowners design their dream homes - and I hope to help many more.
