Choosing optimal lighting options can be a minefield.

In this episode we cover a vast array of tips, insights and inspiration on how to achieve a cohesive lighting scheme in your home in order to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Tune in to listen to us break down the basics of the different categories of lighting, which fixtures to use where, zoning spaces with lighting, lighting circuits and circadian rhythms.

Plus inevitably there are some hilarious anecdotes and we offer some examples of lighting we’re not so fond of!

So turn on your ambient light fixture, brew a cuppa and have a listen. And for those listeners sitting in traffic maybe don’t relax too much!

Maximalists, colour lovers, creative pragmatists ... just some of the few terms that might be associated with Sam and Naomi.

But more than anything they love chatting all things interiors, and sharing their knowledge and thoughts on a plethora of topics related to the home.

Naomi spent most of her working life at the UN before retraining as an interior designer, whilst Sam has worked as an interior stylist for over 25 years. They met on instagram through a mutual contact. It was meant to be: initially they did a series of Instagram Lives and then they took the plunge to create the Podcast. Sam does all of the digital rendering and between them they do all of the related tasks. Their USP is that after recording a baker’s dozen in their first series they are yet to meet IRL, as Naomi is based in Denmark and Sam in the UK. Yet their mutual love of interiors has drawn them together, and so The Interior Lovers podcast was born.

Welcome back to The Design Lovers Podcast!

In this episode we lean into all things kitchen islands, pantries and shelving. Ways to improvise with pantries if you don’t have one per se. Out of sight, out of mind: if healthy ingredients are on display we’re more likely to eat them!

From a practical perspective having a pantry apparently prevents food wastage and excessive buying – is it a gimmick? We talk filler cupboards and form and function. We touch on allotments and how there is such a demand for them post covid.

Are kitchen islands a status symbol? Repurpose vintage pieces to create an island but consider scale and accessibility.

Open shelving – styling them and creating vignettes to bring you joy, but not for everyday storage as dust collectors. All of the above makes the kitchen feel more like a non-kitchen kitchen. Express yourself in the kitchen and remember to incorporate items that make you happy.
