"Nature makes a place feel rejuvenated."


In this episode of the Honest Property Podcast, Becky and Ruth sit down with Emilie Heinonen, founder of People and Spaces, to explore the beautiful intersection of interior design and architecture. Emilie shares her passion for creating spaces that prioritize people, sustainability, and well-being.


From biophilic design (bringing nature indoors) to the environmental impact of materials like artificial grass, Emilie explains why mindful consumption is the future of interior spaces. They discuss how urban design influences community living, why antiques and heirlooms often trump mass-produced items, and how future homes will need to adapt to our ever-changing lifestyles.
