No Regrets Renovation: Avoid Costly Mistakes & Get It Right the First Time

Renovating your home should feel exciting—not overwhelming. I’m Rebecca Foster, certified residential interior designer and founder of Align Interior Design, and I help homeowners like you make confident, well-informed decisions so your renovation results in a space you truly love (without the second-guessing or budget regret). In this limited podcast series, I’m sharing the same thoughtful, strategic design process I use with our local clients across British Columbia and digital clients worldwide, —whether you’re managing your renovation yourself or handing over the reins. You’ll learn why design isn’t just about finishes and paint colors, how to avoid common planning missteps, and what steps actually lead to a functional, beautiful home that works for your lifestyle. I’ll also walk you through the difference between working with a designer and relying on your contractor, how to choose the right support based on your goals, and how investing in good design can actually save you time and money. You won’t find intimidating jargon or over-the-top design drama here—just honest, empowering guidance built on 13+ years of experience and a deep belief that your home should support the way you live. I even share real examples, with real numbers on how to avoid costly mistakes in your renovation. If you're about to start a renovation or you're already knee-deep in decisions, this podcast is your calm, clear, and curated guide to getting it right the first time.
