How to Have a Chic Home with Children, Dogs & Daily Mess
A beautiful home still has to support a full life.In episode two of my listener Q&A series, I’m answering your questions about designing around children without surrendering your own taste, whether kitchen appliances need to match, making a tiny bedroom feel intentional, living with daily mess, owning a white sofa, where the dog bed should go and, finally, what to do with the permanently wet towel.Because if your home only looks good when nobody is eating, charging a phone, making coffee or owning a towel, it isn’t well designed. It’s simply between activities.Function isn’t the enemy of style. It’s part of what makes a home chic.

SAVE OR SPLURGE? Where to Spend Your Money at Home
Before you spend another dollar on your home, look at the home you actually have.This week on Home & Hosting with Loui Burke, we’re talking save or splurge, but not just what’s worth the money. We’re looking at how the age, architecture and existing character of your home should influence where you spend it in the first place.From ’70s walk-ups and traditional cottages to contemporary new builds, I’m breaking down why fighting your home’s architecture can become an expensive mistake, which original features are worth preserving, and where spending more will actually make a difference.Then we get into the practical stuff: where I’d save, where I’d splurge, what’s worth investing in and, importantly, when the answer is to spend absolutely nothing.Because the rule is pretty simple: save where the item is flexible, spend where the decision is foundational, and stop assuming buying more is always going to make your home better.If you’re enjoying Home & Hosting, follow the podcast and leave a rating. It really does help more people find the show.

The Internet Got Mad at a Made Bed: Shamed or Just Shown?
A few bed-making videos went viral, my Instagram following doubled in a week, and suddenly the internet had a lot to say about pillows, quilts, beige interiors and whether showing people how to make a bed properly counts as “shaming”.In this episode of Home and Hosting with Loui Burke, I’m unpacking the reaction to my fed-up bed-making videos, why the word “shame” gets used so quickly online, and why I think making your bed is about more than aesthetics. It is about routine, self-respect, domestic confidence and creating small moments of order in a world that often feels anything but.I also talk about the role of humour and tough love in making home advice cut through, why this content did not come from nowhere, and how teaching people to make a space feel like home has always been at the centre of what I do.Because no, it is not really about a perfect bed. It is about learning how to care for the space you are in now.
