The Interior Lovers

We hope that this episode will resonate with a wide range of our listeners. It’s a fascinating and deeply relatable topic for any listeners who are navigating the complexities of life transitions, especially those related to relationships and living spaces (not necessarily divorcées!). 

Amongst other elements, we address the Impact of divorce/separation on home design; the importance of personalisation in the home and how to view your home as a launching pad for your new start in life and creating new memories. Reclaiming one’s space is key. Focus on what’s ahead and that sense of rebuilding one’s sense of self.

In this episode we are delighted to engage with Roisin Quinn, the esteemed winner of the most recent season of BBC’s Interior Design Masters Competition. Roisin shared invaluable insights into her experiences on the reality show and her exciting transition towards establishing her own design studio. 

For those who have been enthusiastic followers of the series, we invite you to take a seat and enjoy Roisin's discussion from the challenges and triumphs she faced throughout the competition, to her successful collaborations, as well as her ambitious future plans and aspirations. 

Our interaction with Roisin was truly inspiring; she is a remarkable talent, and we believe her potential as a designer knows no bounds, and to top it all she’s an absolute darling and like us is a colour aficionado!

In this episode we debate the recently released Dulux Colour of the Year 2025:  True Joy.  
While the annual colour announcements might not resonate with everyone, they can stimulate conversation and creativity across various fields. Ultimately, whether one perceives it as silly or meaningful may depend on personal perspective and how they interact with trends in design and culture.  

True Joy is an energetic, uplifting shade and is the perfect way to project positivity into any space. It can be used to highlight individual elements within a space, shelves, architraves, highlighting artwork, window frames – a breath of sunshine and energy in your home, all year round.  

Tune in to hear what we think of the hue.

This latest episode is a little different:  we delve into the way we both design. Design processes are an important aspect to any design project, whether inspired by one single favourite piece or by a feeling you have in a special place. 

Intuition plays an important component, as does how you want to feel in a space. Naomi’s method is rather structured and conceptual, whereas Sam’s is more free flowing, and a bit more specific from the outset; yet both create bespoke beautiful schemes for their clients by capturing an atmosphere, a mood, style, shapes and forms which make sense of all the ideas floating around in our creative heads.

There is no right way or wrong way so, without further ado, join us as we discuss ideas, notions, impressions and intentions and how we each create cohesive, harmonious and joyful schemes.

In this latest episode we talk about how rugs are an essential element in any interior design project. They add warmth, texture and style to any space. From traditional oriental rugs to modern geometrics to flat-weaves. We get quite technical and by the end you will hopefully know hand knotted from hand tufted and so much more!  We cover materials,  help navigate the ins and outs of most of your unanswered rug questions, and offer useful advice on placement etc.  Sam recounts her first rug investment piece: an authentic Greek flokati rug and Naomi also has some funny stories too. 

So pull up a comfy chair, prepare a nice cup of chai and expand your rug knowledge.

In this episode we talk about the little details which create a coherent theme and can completely personalise any space.  
We cover everything from dolly switches to coloured fabric flex, and from USB A/C sockets to lacquered brass shelf brackets and custom ceiling roses. 
Home hardware is a functional (and can even be sensory) and special stylistic part of your home that shouldn’t be overlooked.

So grab a coffee and tune in to us talking about knobs, screwing, black mannequins, knockers, internal/external hardware. Sounds like soft porn! Maybe it is to some …

In our latest episode, we talk about trends.
They have always existed: historically populations were influenced by royalty and the wealthy and their style filtered down. Even Napoleon was an influencer - who knew!  We touch on how trends can inflate one’s expectations only for them to be quickly disillusioned.  Basically avoid blindly buying into a trend simply because it's a “trend”.

We chat about the “foodification of colour”, recent interior trends and of course we touch on vintage and the importance of discovering one’s own true style. We emphasise how there is so much experimentation and risk taking to be done in order to find one’s own unique style. No-one can predict the future life of your home, only you can do that.

So whether you are a trend contrarian, or welcome them with open arms, cosy up with a favourite cuppa and tune into our take on the good, the bad and the ugly of interior trends.

In our latest episode we discuss all things tile related:  from their earliest use in Egypt, around 4000 BC, and later those clever Egyptians who also invented glazes.  We break down the difference between porcelain and ceramic tiles; analyse which tiles are best for outdoor projects and discuss tiling patterns, lippage, repeats and the tantalising textural world of Zellige tiles.  

So, in summary, the timeless, sleek, classic look of a tiled design is difficult to beat and with appropriate maintenance, tiles are extremely resistant to permanent damage and can easily last over 20 years. 

Tune into the humble tile with a glass of wine or a cup of tea and hopefully we can help you feel inspired with your next foray into world of tiles.
