You, Me & Design

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of designing your home for others or for rare occasions (like hosting Christmas!), rather than for your family, for everyday. This week, we’re sharing why it’s so important to make sure you design and use your home for you, and don’t feel pressured to make decisions based on what others are doing with their homes.

We're back! We took a couple of months off to really think about what we want to share on the podcast going forward - and as I'm sure you can expect - it will mostly involve design! With spring right around the corner, we thought the perfect place to start would be de-cluttering and re-styling for spring. We hope you enjoy the episode and will see you next week!

In this weeks episode we're chatting about Christmas decorating. Tinsel trees, viral garland hacks & lots more. We're sipping a new favourite drink using @oakhurstgin - which we've names an 'Orange-mary Fizz'. It's a double shot of gin, topped with freshly squeezed orange juice and tonic, garnished with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!

Today on You, Me & Design, we're chatting all things influencers. Discussing myths, misconceptions, income, and the difference between home decor influencers and qualified interior designers. Our cocktail this week is... one part gin, one part pear liqueur, half an orange juiced into the shaker, a sprig of rosemary, shaken over ice, and topped with tonic (served in a coupe, with a dried orange to garnish, if you like). It doesn't have a name, so please try it, and suggest something!

In this episode of You, Me & Design, we're going IN on new build homes. Debunking myths and discussing the stigma around new build properties. We're chatting about how to add character, panelling, paint and much more. As well as answering your new build dilemmas! For those wanting to join us for a tipple, we're having what we call a StrawbFlower Spritz - 1 part vodka, 1 part strawberry liquor, 1 part elderflower cordial, and topped with champagne or Prosecco.

Today we're sipping an Elderflower Spritz (St. Germain, gin, elderflower cordial & tonic), and talking all things Halloween. We've got a game of 'tacky or tasteful', where we cover all sorts of ghostly (or more likely ghastly) seasonal decor. We're also answering your design dilemmas for the first time, helping with living rooms that are too big (if there is such a thing!) and dark bedrooms. We hope you enjoy the episode, find us on socials @tobyshome

Join husbands, Toby & Mikey, for a cocktail & catch-up, where they talk all things interior design, pop-culture & lifestyle. Obsessive interior designer, Toby’s Home, answers all of your need-to-know design dilemmas, and Mikey offers his untrained ‘expertise’ and thoughts on the weird and wonderful world of design. Grab a cocktail, let’s get cosy!
