S4 E16: Emily Tobin

Before The Lights

Show Notes

This week we welcome Emily Tobin, editor of The World of Interiors, to explore the fascinating relationship between design and how we feel day-to-day.

Emily, Dave and Georgia discuss the ways that changes in colour, decor and shape of the spaces we live, work and exercise can impact how we interact with them and our overall outlook on our homes and offices.

There's also time to find out why Richard E. Grant is dressed as a candelabra on the cover of the October issue of The World of Interiors.
