Helping You Create a Home That’s Functional, Beautiful, and Truly Yours
Welcome to Homformation—I’m Nyla Rose, the voice behind this space and your go-to guide for making homeownership less stressful and more rewarding. Whether you’re fixing a faucet, rethinking your kitchen layout, or deciding between laminate and hardwood floors, I’m here to walk you through it with expert-backed advice and personal experience you can trust.
My Background: From Design Studio to DIY Reality
My career in home improvement began more than 12 years ago, long before I ever launched a blog. After graduating from the London College of Interior Design with a diploma in Interior Styling, I worked in a boutique design firm that specialised in residential projects across the UK.
But I didn’t stop at styling. Over the years, I pursued hands-on certifications in:
-
Residential Construction Management
-
Energy-Efficient Home Design
-
Sustainable Building Materials
This combination of creative and structural knowledge gave me a holistic understanding of what it really takes to make a home functional—not just pretty.
From 2012 to 2018, I worked as a freelance consultant for property developers and private homeowners. I’ve led kitchen remodels, advised on new-build layouts, and even overseen a full garage-to-studio conversion. I’ve spent countless weekends painting, drilling, comparing materials, and managing tight renovation budgets—so when I give advice, it comes from firsthand experience, not just research.
Why I Started Homformation
I launched Homformation.co.uk because I saw the same problem over and over again: homeowners overwhelmed by information that was either too generic, too technical, or just didn’t reflect the real decisions we face every day.
Homformation is built to be different. It’s a place where you’ll find:
-
Clear, honest guidance grounded in experience.
-
Step-by-step walkthroughs for DIY projects and upgrades.
-
Realistic home improvement ideas that suit real budgets and real people.
-
Home design insights that bridge the gap between function and style.
