Meet Kris Keen, the Perth Architect Adding Real Value to the Local Design Industry.

The key line that stood out to me during our podcast was when you said "architects are just plain old fashioned problem solvers!"....do you feel more people are becoming aware that your profession isn't out to dictate the design narrative but add as much 'value' to it as possible?”

Stylish rugs for the home with Ohh Happy Home

Because I’m not a designer, when it comes to choosing pieces for the home (in this case rugs) there’s typically far more trial and error than most. I just don't seem to have any natural spacial awareness. I knew I wasn't alone in this, and one of the big reasons why Spreading Roomers is #gettingbehinddesign rather than in front of it, is to share knowledge from our trusted sources to help bring you closer to design.
