    159: Style Surgery
    Jul 24 2025
    Ep159 – Style Surgery: The Final Episode We’re wrapping up the series with a mega Style Surgery special! Sophie’s in beige (yes, really) and Kate is scandalised… but once we recover from that fashion bombshell, it’s straight into your design dilemmas. Melissa’s juggling spotlights in a moody blue dining room, Jo wants a freestanding bath in the bedroom (and now so do we), and Rebecca’s trying to hide the telly without going full gallery wall. We’ve got tips for wallpapering kitchen cupboards, picking the right carpet tone, rescuing a “too pink” neutral, and even starting your dream kitchen from scratch. Packed with brilliant advice, laughs, and a few emotional goodbyes… this one’s a corker. We’ve loved every minute. See you over on Insta @thegreatindoors.podcast and Substack!

It’s the final episode before the big Listener Style Surgery and we’re wrapping up our Back to Basics series with a real joy bomb. Kate explains how to use a red thread to create flow through your home, while Sophie makes the case for a “disruptor colour”... something bold and unexpected to shake things up. There’s top chat about painted lampshades, curvy shapes, colourful towels and how to make even the tiniest bathroom feel fabulously you. From scatter cushion strategy to why your radiator might need a macramé makeover, this episode is all about personal flair. Forget perfection... finishing touches are where the fun begins.

    157: Colour Scheming
    Jul 10 2025
    Episode 157: Colour Scheming Sophie and Kate are back with the fourth part of their Back to Basics series… and this one’s all about colour. Some people are all for bold Crayola vibes - others prefer a calming neutral. Either way, this episode has you covered. Sophie shares her go-to method for starting a scheme (hint: it usually begins with a cushion) and explains how to layer colour in a way that feels personal and pulled together. Kate flies the flag for powerful neutrals… even if it did take her five repaints to land on the right greige! Laughs, colour mishaps, and loads of brilliant advice on undertones, contrast, and how not to choose your wall colour from a tiny swatch. Oh, and Sophie’s hatred for beige carpets is very real.
