Summary

Ep155 - Plans in Place We’re still going strong with our Back to Basics miniseries and this week’s chat is all about the planning phase... and trust me, it’s a juicy one! Before you even think about picking up a paintbrush or splashing out on tiles, you need to tackle the layout. Sophie and Kate get properly stuck into how to make your space work for your lifestyle… swapping rooms around, rethinking doorways, and deciding if your sofa really needs to be pushed up against the wall. Expect tales of sliding doors, repurposed pantries, and a solid rethink on the whole extension obsession. There’s even a Wordle tangent and some seriously good tips for anyone working from home. It’s practical, packed with inspiration, and full of laughs. This episode might just save you a ton of money and help you fall back in love with your home.
