This episode delves into the art of designing with heritage, exploring how to preserve the soul of your period property. We talk about what to preserve, what can be adapted, and how to blend the charm of historic details with the functionality of modern living.

I also share stories from my own renovation projects, from Victorian terraces to Art Deco apartments, and the joy of sourcing reclaimed treasures that breathe character back into a space. 

And for homes where previous naughty renovators have stripped away character, I share my tips on sourcing reclaimed materials to bring authenticity back to your space. 

I’ll also cover how the exciting possibility of commissioning a bespoke piece can honour the historical style of your home, but with contemporary craftsmanship. 

Whether your home still has its original features or has lost them along the way, this episode will help you think about how to save its soul and story, while still making it all yours. 

I’ll see you inside!
