    153: How we develop our unique design styles

    Wrapping up this mini-series Kate and Sophie interview each other and get under

    the skin of their own design philosophies. What is it about brown that turns Kate on?

    Did Sophie’s parents hide away the colouring crayons leaving her with an unmet

    need to cover everything in rainbow bright shades? Indeed why do we decorate our

    homes the way we do. A fascinating insight into how we form our own design DNA

    that forms our own tastes and sense of home.

    151: Habitats back! Interview with head of design Andrew Tanner

    This year is the 60th anniversary of Habitat and today we are thrilled to be chatting to

    Andrew Tanner, head of design at Habitat who heads up a team of 28 designers who

    have all been super busy re-issuing and updating iconic archive products as well as

    creating exciting new ones. We all have our own fond memories of the high street


    store that delivered exciting fresh designs. At one point it seems everyone had the

    iconic Tord Boontje garland light. Taking over the legacy laid down by the late Sir

    Terence Conran, is a big one, but Andrew, who also heads up the design teams at

    Argos and Sainsburys, is uniquely placed to understand the challenges it has faced

    in recent years which is how, perhaps we can now say Habitat is back!

    150: Finding Interior inspiration abroad and closer to home

    And we are back! Well almost, as this return episode was recorded during the

    summer break, so why not take our holidays as interior inspiration. Kate is inspired

    by the pastel palette of Italy which has inspired her new paint range with

    Graphenstone while Sophie takes a great escape to Bali for some blue skies and

    jungle greenery. And perhaps the odd snake, spider and lizard thrown in too. And if

    you haven’t managed to get away this summer, don’t despair. We talk about our

    favourite TV shows that we’ve been binging, and which sets are influencing our own

    designs.
