You asked, we listened. Now it’s your turn to listen! The Edit podcast from the team at Home Beautiful is a brand new space to connect and belong to a growing group of our audience who want to go behind the scenes of our glossy pages to discover exactly what makes a house a home.
We’re talking to our favourite people in the interiors world – designers, retailers, homewares heroes, and some unexpected interiors enthusiasts who’ll share what makes their own homes special, from the first memories of the spaces they inhabited in childhood to how they live and entertain today.
Who better to kick us off than the one and only Darren Palmer? A loyal and long-time friend of Home Beautiful, Darren has invited us into his home on more than one occasion, and is not afraid to share his vast knowledge of home renovation and design. Since cutting his teeth imparting frank advice to budding renovators on Channel 9’s The Block juggernaut, Darren’s arsenal of interior design know-how is both practised and practical.
In the very first episode of The Edit, we had to start with one of Australia’s most loved interior designers and long-time judge on The Block — Darren Palmer. Hosted by Home Beautiful editor Elle Lovelock, Darren breaks down exactly how to kick-start a decorating or renovation project with confidence, from clarifying your vision to avoiding the budget blowouts and design pitfalls he sees all too often.
Darren also takes us behind the scenes of Jennifer Hawkins’ incredible home, sharing juicy details from the design process, the big hero moments, and what it really takes to pull off a celebrity-level dream house. Along the way, he talks about creating “easy luxury” at home, why every space should be beautiful and liveable, and how to make design decisions you’ll still love in 10 years’ time.
If you love refining your home sanctuary, interior design, home makeovers and real-life renovation advice, this episode of The Edit is your ultimate starting point. Hit play to get inspired, get practical tips you can use this weekend, and see your home with fresh eyes.
“First of all, this is probably the best tip I can give you for any spectrum, any budget, creating a home from scratch…”
Darren Palmer
