Ever walked into a home that just feels right? It’s not just about colour or finishes—it’s about the moments built into the design. In this episode, we sit down with Rebecca Papas, Head of Interior Design at BuildHer Collective, to talk about the importance of shaping a home’s form before even thinking about colour.

Bec shares her own experience designing her family home, breaking down how to create thoughtful spaces that elevate everyday living. We cover:

Designing for experience – How intentional sightlines (like placing a window to frame a tree) can completely transform a space.
Creating practical, high-impact features – Why a built-in drying rack in the laundry could be a smarter investment than fancy tiles.
Layering function and form – The art of balancing statement design choices, like sunken lounges and built-in seating, to create warmth and flow.
Bringing the outside in – How flooring materials, window placement, and even landscaping choices can seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
Keeping flexibility in finishes – Why it’s essential to start with a strong structure, so you can adapt materials later without compromising the vision.

Whether you’re renovating, building, or planning your dream home, this episode is packed with insights that will change the way you think about design. Tune in and learn why moments matter more than colour swatches!
