Sophie Robinson and Kate Watson-Smyth: Interior Design Experts

The Great indoors is a celebration of all things interiors and everything you need to know about making your house a home. In each episode, TV presenter and designer Sophie Robinson and best-selling author and journalist Kate Watson-Smyth will discuss, debate and guide you through the top trends and hottest topics from the home front. So pull up a chair…

The Great Indoors

We’re back to basics!
Where to start with your home redecoration, and it’s not what you think.

Ep154

We’re back! And we’re kicking off this new 6 week season by asking the big question: where should you actually start when redecorating your
home?

Spoiler... it’s not picking a paint colour.

Sophie and Kate unpack the emotional side of
interiors, why mood comes first, and how to plan your layout before splashing the cash. Expect some strong feelings about lighting grids, a surprise colour consultation during an ultrasound, and Lucy the dog stealing the show as usual.

Funny, fabulous and full of practical tips… this is your essential starting point for any home makeover.

154: New Series - We're back to basics!

Ep155 - Plans in Place

We’re still going strong with our Back to Basics miniseries and this week’s chat is all about the planning phase... and trust me, it’s a juicy one!

Before you even think about picking up a paintbrush or splashing out on tiles, you need to tackle the layout. Sophie and Kate get properly stuck into how to make your space work for your lifestyle… swapping rooms around, rethinking doorways, and deciding if your sofa really needs to be pushed up against the wall.

Expect tales of sliding doors, repurposed pantries, and a solid rethink on the whole extension obsession. There’s even a Wordle tangent and some seriously good tips for anyone working from home.

It’s practical, packed with inspiration, and full of laughs. This episode might just save you a ton of money and help you fall back in love with your home.
