I've spent 12 years designing interiors in Berlin — 140+ rooms, from raw concrete lofts to 45 m2 rentals. Now I teach the exact studio system: honest layouts, five-material palettes, and three layers of light — so you can finish your room without hiring me.
Doors to Room Makeover Studio close Sunday at midnight — the August cohort caps at 60 students so I can personally review every before-and-after. And the Live Room Rescue workshop on August 19 has 14 seats left; three attendees get their rooms made over on camera. Not ready to commit? Grab the free 60-Minute Room Reset below and start tonight.
Concrete bones, ember warmth
I spent twelve years designing homes across Berlin — 140+ rooms, from raw board-formed lofts in Mitte to 45-square-meter rentals with one hostile ceiling bulb. What I learned is that beautiful rooms are not bought, they are decided: one honest sentence about how you live, five materials, three layers of light. My style has a name around here — concrete brutalism softened with ember accents — but the system underneath works for any taste. Everything in this store is the actual studio process, translated so you can run it yourself: start with the free Room Reset, go deep with the Blueprint or the course, or put your room in front of me on a 1:1 call. One rule applies everywhere: nothing gets bought until the room tells you what it needs.
Rooms that made the leap
“The tape test saved me from a 2,400 euro sofa that would have blocked my only window. I rearranged what I already owned, bought a 180 euro floor lamp instead, and my living room finally feels finished.”
Maja K. · Room Makeover Studio graduate, Hamburg
“Elena looked at my photos for five minutes and found the problem three other consultations missed: my rug was shrinking the whole room. One hour, one plan, done by the weekend.”
Tom H. · 1:1 consult client, London
“We ran Rental Rescue on our Berlin flat — plug-in sconces, full-length curtains, one peel-and-stick wall. Our landlord asked to photograph it for the listing, and we got the full deposit back when we left.”
Ana & Piotr · Renters, Rental Rescue readers
Good questions
Do your guides work for rentals and small spaces?+
Yes — most of my readers rent. Every method in the Blueprint has a reversible version, and Rental Rescue is written entirely around deposit-safe upgrades. Small rooms actually respond faster: fewer surfaces, quicker wins.
I have zero design background. Is the course too advanced?+
The course assumes nothing except that you have a room and a phone camera. Every lesson ends with one concrete homework step, and you can post progress in the student gallery for feedback. My best before-and-afters come from total beginners.
What exactly happens on the 1:1 consult?+
You send photos and a short brief before we meet. On the call I give you a straight verdict, a layout fix you can do that weekend, a five-color palette matched to your light, and a prioritized shopping list for your budget. Within 24 hours you get the recording plus my written notes.
What if a guide is not right for me?+
Every digital product comes with a 14-day happy-room guarantee: if you read it and do not find at least three changes worth making, email me for a full refund. Downloads are delivered instantly and are yours forever, including future updates.
