WHAT CHUZAI LIVING DESIGNS OFFERS
Chuzai Living Designs offers home designing and styling services for expats to create their new homes abroad. I will help you create a comfortable home in an unfamiliar city. Creating a home abroad comes with its own unique challenges. I know them very well.
Since my husband and I got married, we have moved our homes 14 times in 25 years, of which we relocated internationally 11 times. I have experiences and expertise to design homes that come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are in cities that may offer limited resources. Chuzai Living Designs can relieve some of your stresses from configuring, designing and decorating your home abroad.
WHY CHOSE CHUZAI LIVING DESIGNS?
We live in the era when professional remote designing services are readily available virtually anywhere in the world. However, many designers may not know or fully understand unique challenges that comes with expat lifestyle. Whether you need a full assistance in decorating your new home or just a partial help, Chuzai Living Designs can help. Maybe you already have an eye to decorate your home, but there is an area where you feel the need to get help to configure. You may live in a furnished rental home abroad, so all you need is how to rearrange the room and add some accent decorations in order to give your personal touch to your home. You may have many storage spaces, but they are big blank open space that may not be efficient to use and you need help with how to neatly organize your storage spaces.
Whatever it may be, I can customize my services based on your needs and guide you to achieve a home away from home that you and your family feel excited about making new memories.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO DECORATE YOUR HOME ABROAD?
Home is a way of expression just like fashion. At the same time, it is a safe haven when living abroad. When you live abroad, many expats treat their places to live as a dwelling place, a place to simply eat and sleep. Instead, it should be a cozy, welcoming and relaxing place, a home, where you feel happy to be. Home abroad may not be a home that is magazine feature worthy. (You never know.) To me, making it to grab attention of others is not the goal of a successful home abroad. If your home abroad makes YOU feel like you’re wrapped in a warm blanket when you are there, that to me is a successful home abroad. I’d like for you to achieve that.
I am here to help you create your home away from home that you and your family will cherish for many years.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN A TEMPORARY HOME ABROAD?
Many expats spend tens of thousands of dollars on traveling while living abroad. I don’t discredit the importance of being adventurous. However, not many people place enough value into investing their money in temporary homes. I get it. It’s temporary. Why spending money on products that you may have to get rid of again soon?
Think this way. Your home abroad is the place you nurture relationships, raise children, foster friendship, promote self growth and pursue happiness on day to day basis. When you have a home that you feel proud of, you and your family will want to invite your new friends over. Your home where you and your family look forward to coming back at the end of the day will surely bring your family together in the shared time overseas. Moreover, it will protect you from hardship outside that comes with living abroad.
What about expat children? They will always remember their childhood homes no matter where they are. Their childhood home abroad will influence their perceptions of experiences living abroad. Additionally, their homes abroad could shape who these children will become. (How do our childhood houses shape us?) (The Phycology of Design + Kids)
For the reasons above, having a temporary home that serves more than just a purpose of dwelling is invaluable for a successful expat life. Saving money on home products will not make you either rich or happier. You will not regret spending money on creating a home that looks neat and organized.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How will Chuzai Living Designs decorate your home? I can help expats in any locations as long as there is internet connection. You may wonder how it could be helpful if I could not be physically there in your home to organize or decorate? My method is to identify your challenges, guide and teach you the customized ways you can adopt in order to overcome some hurdles of decorating your home abroad through my consultations. Your commitment to be involved in the process will also make you accountable.
I won’t ask you to do something you cannot do. However, please know that it would require your commitment to actively get involved with the process. For example, if it is advisable to reduce your belongings (most likely this will happen), you may have to purge and declutter your space yourself in order to take the next step. It may sound daunting, but you’ll be much happier after it’s done.
Through my consultations and your active involvement, the goal is for you to set yourself up for an easier way of life. At the end of the process, you will take away the skills for future moves and home designing as well. In the end, it will be all worth your efforts.
