Have you ever walked into a space and felt instantly calm… while someone else feels completely unsettled? In this episode, I’m introducing you to a concept I’ve recently discovered called Umwelt, and I think it will completely reframe how we think about our homes. I came across the German word, Umwelt in my recent research, and it piqued my interest. I've come across so many different words over the years, in terms of interiors and design, from Danish Hygge to Swedish Legom, to Dutch gezellig...
In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant, Emma Forrest, in her gorgeous, cosy, feminine home. Emma, is a novelist, memoirist and filmmaker, and her work is known for its emotional precision and unflinching honesty, exploring love, identity, grief, and the ways our past shapes who we become. From her early days as a teenage columnist interviewing cultural icons in 90s London, to her deeply personal memoirs and films, Emma has built a body of work that feels both intimate and ...
What if your home was quietly shaping your habits… without you even realising? In this episode, I explore one of the most powerful ideas from Atomic Habits by James Clear, that our environment plays a huge role in the habits we build (or struggle to maintain). As renovators and homeowners, this is where things get really interesting. Because your home isn’t just a backdrop to your life, It’s an active participant in it. I’ll walk you through how small, intentional design choices can make good...
Layout is more than just where walls go, it’s how your home feels to live in every day. In this episode, I’m talking about all the the subtle but powerful ways layout shapes our mood, stress levels, and how easily (or not) our lives flow through our homes. I chat about why bad circulation quietly causes daily frustration. How thresholds and transitions create calm and clarity. Why adding a pause point or two in your home design can encourage those small moments of stillness we all crave...
Some designers create beautiful things. Others create work that carries a story. And today’s guest is someone whose work does both. In this episode I talk Eva Sonaike, a London-based textile and interior designer whose work is instantly recognisable for its bold palettes, layered patterns, and joyful energy. But what makes Eva’s work so compelling isn’t just the colour — it’s the narrative behind it. Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, Eva’s work is brimming with colour, confidence, and a re...
I'm back and in this episode, I’m sharing a personal update on why the podcast returned a little later than planned… and where it’s heading next. Life, business, a new renovation project, RenoVersity updates, and even a book in the works have all been bubbling away behind the scenes. But more than that, I wanted to talk about something many of us are quietly carrying right now: the weight of the world. When global news cycles feel relentless, economic pressures build, when identity and ...
This time of year always brings a certain pressure to our homes; guests, dinners, family staying over. And suddenly, those little niggles about layout and functionality become glaringly obvious. In this episode, I talks about how to harness that end-of-year reflection to kick off your renovation plans the right way. In this episode, I go over the method I’ve developed over many, many years of renovating both for myself, and for my clients. I want to help you make a confident, stre...
In this episode, I cover one of the sometimes overlooked elements of your interior: window dressings. Most people leave curtains and blinds until the very end of a renovation, then panic-choose something “good enough” and wonder why the room still doesn’t feel quite right. In this episode I walk you through how to think about your windows like a designer: starting with the view outside, privacy, the light you want to invite in (or block out), and the mood you’re trying to create. ...
