Over the past two years we've all been spending more time in our homes and they've had to work harder than ever before; a place to work and study, cook and eat, workout, relax and sleep. 

So how do you make sure your space is fulfilling all those functions without feeling overwhelming and crowded?  Which paint colours should you choose to make you feel more productive or restful? What can you do to make your space feel like home if you're renting and can't make lots of changes? How do you do interior design on a budget? This week we are joined by alum Rebecca Thomas who answers all these questions and more!
