Our latest podcast episode is about budgeting for your home interiors project. Furniture, lighting, accessories, decorating and other labour costs...

John Hall, Construction Director of Jetform Pools is this week’s guest on The DnA of Home Interiors podcast. In this episode, Deirdre and I discuss installing a swimming pool in your home.

I met John on a project a few years ago, where I was designing the interiors of a swimming pool room in the basement of a family home in Barnet, North London. John was the swimming pool installer on the project.

One of my long term ambitions in life has been to have my own swimming pool…so I am very keen to find out how realistic a plan this might be in the future!

In this episode of The DnA of Home Interiors, Deirdre and I are joined virtually by Martin Gill, MD of And So To Bed. Martin and I worked together many years ago during his time as MD of Poggenpohl kitchens.

We discuss bed options, from divans and ottomans, to sleigh beds and four posters.
