Summary

Here is a topic we didn’t think we’d be discussing a few months ago but the speed in which this technology is developing means we are already seeing it across our Instagram feeds. Opinion is that AI generated room designs are here, and not going anywhere. So how can you use this technology to help plan and visualise your home? Will these aspirational dreamlike interiors add to the already heavy feeling of FOMO? And will it make a whole industry of talented human designers obsolete? Or is it an amazing creative tool that can help expand all our creative horizons? Members of The Great Indoors Insiders can enjoy a brilliant BONUS episode, as Kate and Sophie interview interior design student and AI native Vanessa Edwards, who explains how as an early adopter she’s using Mid Journey to developed her creative interior designs.

0:00.0	Alright, put your do not disturb on. No, I can't. Right, go. Why? Because I've got a building
0:12.0	crisis. It's fine. Oh, it's a building crisis. Oh, it's a building crisis. Two years of my
0:16.0	life. Two years of crisis. I can't. I can't even. No. No. No. Yes, go. Hello and welcome to
0:24.0	The Great Endores. The podcast which reveals everything you ever needed to know about interiors
0:29.2	and explains how to make it all really work for you in your home. I'm Sophie Robinson,
0:34.4	and I'm Kate Watson-Smite. But before we begin, a word about our sponsor's natural mat,
0:40.0	who make beds and mattresses by hand indefinitely, using natural, organic and renewable materials
0:46.4	with absolutely zero chemicals, synthetics or glue. But it's not just about what your mattress
0:53.0	is made of. It's crucial to choose the right one. Buying a bed mattress is often a pretty,
0:58.6	well, shall we say, an enjoyable experience with endless choice and rows of beds lined up
1:03.7	like sardines and a bright white lights. Well, natural mat showrooms couldn't be more different.
1:09.5	They go to great lengths to create a calm, soothing atmosphere that makes you want to spend a
1:15.2	proper amount of time trying out their beds and mattresses so you can find the right one for you.
1:20.4	You're so right. I remember buying ours years ago, actually, probably doing new one,
1:24.3	and it was exactly that. Rows of beds in the shot, bright lights and a queue of people moving
1:29.6	around from bed to bed. It wasn't remotely relaxing. But it's so important that you take your time.
1:35.4	Now, one tip that I picked up on when I was buying a bed is that I, like many people,
1:39.7	assume that hard mattress is what you want. But in fact, choosing a mattress that ensures
1:44.5	your spine is straight when you lie on your side is what it's all about. Yes, it's not about
1:49.8	the mattress. It's about you. Your hip and shoulder need to sink slightly into it so that your
1:55.2	spine stays straight. If you're too light for a hard mattress, your spine will curve as your
2:00.8	hip and shoulder won't sink down. It all sounds quite technical. But actually, you do just know
