Briellyn Turton: renter-friendly interiors, whimsy and the art of making home easier

Should you decorate a rental like it’s your forever home? According to interior designer, Studio Brie founder and Australia’s Best House host Briellyn Turton, the answer is yes. Known for her personality-driven interiors, love of vintage pieces and playful approach to home, Briellyn joins The Edit to talk renter-friendly styling, whimsical interiors, hosting, lighting, TVs, resale myths and why the most beautiful homes are the ones that make everyday life easier.  In this episode of The Edit, host and Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock sits down with Briellyn Turton to unpack how she creates homes with character, comfort and function. Briellyn shares how she uses fashion as a starting point for interiors, why she believes in decorating slowly, how to personalise a rental without waiting for the “forever home”, and the one hosting habit every busy homemaker should steal.  Together they explore why home should feel personal, playful and deeply useful, from where you drop your bag to how you make your coffee in the morning.   Moments You'll Hear:  Briellyn’s take on dressing your home the way you dress yourself How to personalise a rental with art, vintage finds and moveable pieces  A tour of Briellyn’s much-loved loft-style rental  Why she moved for a courtyard, hosting space, and a bedroom with beautiful light  The empty dishwasher and empty bin hosting rule What “whimsy” really means in interiors How Briellyn gets clients to trust their own taste  Why your home should support your rituals, from skincare to coffee The renter’s dilemma: do you buy for now or forever?
