The New Luxury with Penny and Verity
Description
In this episode, Janey is joined by Penny and Verity to explore the evolving meaning of luxury in home design, moving beyond size, flash, and labels, and redefining it through wellness, sustainability, and personal values. They dive into how our perceptions of luxury are deeply personal, shaped not only by aesthetics but also by the way a space makes us feel.
From investing in quality pieces to designing homes that support balance and wellbeing, Penny and Verity share why good design is one of the greatest luxuries of all. They also reflect on how clients’ choices and dislikes reveal what truly matters, and why high-performing, sustainable homes should be the standard rather than an exception.
Grounded, thoughtful, and full of practical insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone rethinking what it means to live well in today’s world.
