Continuing our summer series of favourite episodes, this week Carole chats to LA-based interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard whose client list reads like an Oscars party - Kylie Jenner, Cher, Tommy Hilfiger, Winnie Harlow and a host of others. As  Rupaul says, ‘Martyn carries the torch of the divine, the sublime, and the beautiful. I trust his eye implicitly’.

'I'm completely driven by curiosity,' says Suzy Hoodless in the final episode of this House Guest series. Since her studio launched in 2000, Suzy has become one of the UK's most exciting designers. She chats to Carole Annett about her signature style, her work at WOW!House, and how the interior design industry has changed.

Today's House Guest is Frieda Gormley, co-founder of House of Hackney. Frieda set up the luxury interiors brand 13 years ago with her husband, Javvy M Royle, and the pair quickly ripped up the rulebook, reworking traditional print and colour for a new generation. Carole Annett chats to Frieda about creating heirloom pieces and developing a regenerative brand.

From Manhattan townhouses to sprawling country homes, Rita Konig is known for her no-nonsense approach to interior design. She chats to Carole Annett about her own house renovation, and talks through her online decorating course with Create Academy.

‘I loved houses – I watched all the programmes and bought all the magazines’, says Alex Dauley. As a young mother of two with a part-time job, she hadn’t considered pursuing a career in interiors until her husband persuaded her to find a course and follow her passion. Her studio is now ten years old; amongst a host of current clients, including a project for Capitol Records, she is designing the first ever media room at WOW House, entitled Date Night – a sumptuous, grown-up room that perfectly suits her 'introvert, extrovert’ (Alex’s words) personality.
