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.

Sam and Naomi are both huge advocates for incorporating wallpaper into their designs.

In this episode we unpack practical advice about the different types of papers available: tips on how to incorporate it in innovative ways; how wallpaper can easily transform a space by incorporating texture and dimension; the origins of wallpaper and inevitably there are some anecdotes.

When discussing our personal favourite papers, these are so vastly different: whereby Naomi likes to push the boundaries with provocative nudes, flock, foil and leopard; Sam on the other hand appreciates more calming, dreamy, grounded subjects.

So, get comfortable, make yourself a drink and be prepared to immerse yourself into the wonderful world of wallpaper. Think moderation, think beyond papering one wall, yet resist wallpapering within an inch of your life!

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.

Do give us a listen, and please feel free to email us any interior topics you'd like us to discuss at:
