Season 4 Episode 6: Should We Seek to Live in Humbler Homes?

While DIY and TikTok design are at all-time highs, more and more people are embracing the idea of the ‘unaesthetic’ home.

Today we’re asking ourselves the question: Should we seek to live in humbler homes?

Let’s get into it.

Season 4 Episode 5: Should Modern Architecture and Interior Design try to Look Old?

• What should modern homes strive to be?

• Have we made too much of trying to make history repeat itself?

• How do we celebrate the past without making everything an homage to it?

In this episode, we’ll be talking about when to ‘go historic’, when not to, and what mistakes to avoid.

Season 4 Episode 2: How to Make Design Choices in a Home With No Architecture

Many of the homes built in the last 25+ years have been built without the help of an architect. So when a house lacks the consideration for finer details, attention-to-detail, or distinct style and character, how do you begin to make design choices?

That’s where we’re going in this week’s episode.
