Episode 100: Sophie Coller

Welcome to the House Guest podcast, where C&amp;TH Interiors Editor Carole Annett chats with experts from the world of interior design and decoration, the people behind the houses and hotels you see in glossy magazines like ours. Some of the names will be familiar, and others may be less so, but we’re sure you’ll recognise the hotels and restaurants they’ve designed. And if you’re in the middle of your own building project or re-style, we hope you’ll pick up some tips. Enjoy!

‘Surprisingly, I didn’t think a maximalist would get that far,’ laughs Roisin Quinn, ‘but I won!' she says of her recent triumph in BBC's Interior Design Masters.
Roisin was spurred to change career in the wake of feedback she received after designing her own wedding (her dress was the only bit of white) and also doing the interiors of her parents' house during lockdown. ’This time last year I was still a travel adviser,’ she says. Join us to hear about her uplifting tale of following your dream.

Celebrating Maximalism With Roisin Quinn, Winner of Interior Design Masters

Kate Watson-Smyth is the founder of Mad About The House, passionate about renovating and decorating, she documented the dramas of creating her London home from two flats and now doing up an Italian property where she plans to invite guests for decorating workshops (a collaboration with Graphenstone paint on new Italian-inspired hues is also in the offing). We sat down to chat about her travels - she travelled to Senegal for her gap year, writing a book about shades of grey (and the mix-up with a book with a similar title!) her friendship with Queen of Colour Sophie Robinson, how The Great Indoors podcast came about, and what plenty more. Make a cuppa, sit down and enjoy the tales from a colourful life, plus a few giggles along the way.

This week, Carole Annett sits down with Paula Sutton – who listeners might better recognise as the woman behind @hillhousevintage. Carole discovered Paula's account on Instagram, and quickly became a fan of how she depicted life in the country with her family and beloved pooch Lady Dashwood. A Bridgerton addict, Paula delights with her vintage finds and decorating ideas.
