EP 12: Stop designing your home for other people!
It’s so easy to fall into the trap of designing your home for others or for rare occasions (like hosting Christmas!), rather than for your family, for everyday. This week, we’re sharing why it’s so important to make sure you design and use your home for you, and don’t feel pressured to make decisions based on what others are doing with their homes.

EP 10: Spring Decorating Tips for Your Home
We're back! We took a couple of months off to really think about what we want to share on the podcast going forward - and as I'm sure you can expect - it will mostly involve design!
With spring right around the corner, we thought the perfect place to start would be de-cluttering and re-styling for spring. We hope you enjoy the episode and will see you next week!
It's our 'Christmas special'! We're having festive cocktails, Egg Nog, Berry Spritz, and a Cranberry Cosmo, and doing a Christmas quiz. As well as sharing all of our hosting and feasting tips for this season. This is our last episode of the series, and so if you enjoyed, please do rate and review and share the podcast with your friends. We'll be back in a few weeks with some exciting changes and updates!
Have a very merry Christmas!

EP 6: Are influencers ruining interior design…?
Today on You, Me & Design, we're chatting all things influencers. Discussing myths, misconceptions, income, and the difference between home decor influencers and qualified interior designers.
Our cocktail this week is... one part gin, one part pear liqueur, half an orange juiced into the shaker, a sprig of rosemary, shaken over ice, and topped with tonic (served in a coupe, with a dried orange to garnish, if you like). It doesn't have a name, so please try it, and suggest something!

We've got a game of 'tacky or tasteful', where we cover all sorts of ghostly (or more likely ghastly) seasonal decor.

It's our first episode of 'You, Me & Design'! We're getting into things by sharing a little (or quite a lot, actually) about ourselves and how we've come to be where we are.
