Making A Living From Your Love of Home: How Reena Simon Turned Her Renovation Into A Thriving New Career


Listen Later

What if your love of interiors could become a whole new career?

In one of the most popular episodes of the Imprint Podcast, Reena Simon of Hygge for Home by Reena Simon for_home shares how she went from working in PR and raising three young children to renovating a 1960s bungalow — and building a meaningful career as an interior stylist, author, and content creator.

We explore how her love of Scandinavian design helped her create a calming, thoughtful home — and connect with a global audience. She opens up about finding her voice on Instagram, writing her book Scandi Rustic, and how she approaches design decisions, motherhood, and creative boundaries.

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your passion into something more, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired to begin — right where you are.
