Today, we’re talking about something fun, practical and full of personality — What They Don’t Tell You About... Designing a Family Home! We’re joined by interior designer and mum-of-two Abby from Ginger Nest Interiors, who helps families create homes that are stylish, functional and genuinely liveable (yes, even with messy kids).
In this episode, we talk:
How to design kids’ rooms that grow with them
Mistakes people make when decorating themselves (step away from the feature wall)
The power of accessories, layout and lighting
Storage hacks, smart high-street finds, and under-bed secrets
What to avoid if you're buying a sofa... and why you shouldn't put the sink in your kitchen island
Whether you’re starting from scratch or just want a refresh, Abby’s tips will help you create a space you love — without losing your mind or your style.
