I’m Kate Hamblet,
a licensed architect and owner of Balanced Architecture, based in New Hampshire. I’ve been obsessively designing sustainable buildings since 2007. I specialize in helping families create good homes - homes that are comfortable, efficient, healthy, sustainable, and make everyday life easier.
Having lived in many places and worked with hundreds of clients, I’ve seen firsthand that most homes simply aren’t designed around the people who live in them. Too often, seemingly small design decisions lead to uncomfortable rooms, wasted energy, daily frustrations, unhealthy indoor environments, and spaces that just don’t work as well as they should.
I created this guide to share 10 common design mistakes I see (and what to do instead) so you can make smarter decisions, avoid unnecessary regrets, and move forward with your home build or renovation with confidence.
A better home starts with better decisions.
There’s a lot to think about when you’re building or renovating, and some of the decisions that matter most are surprisingly easy to overlook.
Inside this quick guide, you'll discover 10 common home design mistakes, why they matter, and what to consider instead.
IT'S FOR YOU IF YOU WANT A HOME THAT:
Feels comfortable year-round
Uses less energy without expensive upgrades
Works well for the way you actually live
Avoids common design decisions you may regret later
