    Should a robot ever be allowed to fold your laundry? It sounds like a throwaway question, but it cuts right to the heart of what the Australian home is becoming. In Part 2 of this bonus episode, recorded live at Metricon’s National Love of Design Summit, Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock hands the microphone to the audience, and the panel of Ali Whelan (Breathe Architecture), Michael Leung (Balanced Earth Architects), Neil Hipwell (Futureflip) and James Treble takes on questions no one saw coming.  Together they imagine the Australian home of the future, smaller, smarter and far more adaptable, explore why builders who’ve created some of the most high-tech houses in the country are quietly stepping away from the tech, and answer the question that nearly stumped all four of them: what’s the internal compass that drives you?  Moments You’ll Hear:  Why the Australian home of the future is smaller, smarter and more adaptable The affordability and trade-shortage puzzle shaping what we can actually build Why a half-a-million-dollar smart home taught Neil an expensive lesson The case for “low-tech first”, and why a little friction is worth protecting Whether a laundry full of robots would quietly kill a building’s community The question that nearly stumped the panel: what’s your internal compass?  Thank you for listening ❤️ before you leave…  🗣️ Get in touch What did you think?

    Karlie Verkerk: MasterChef Secrets, Building an Outdoor Kitchen & Why Bouclé Has to Go

    After decades spent thinking deeply about food, beauty and family, Karlie Verkerk has finally built a home that reflects all three.  In this episode of The Edit, Karlie joins Home Beautiful Editor Elle Lovelock from her Northern Rivers home to talk about the many moves that brought her family here - from inner-city Sydney to the Blue Mountains, Singapore and finally the coast, and what each place taught her about what she really wanted from a home.  She also shares the story behind FIN, the world's first food fragrance she's just launched with her husband James, why she went on MasterChef and kept it secret for months, and the outdoor kitchen built from recycled bricks that's slowly becoming the heart of the house.  Plus, the renovation mistake she and James made under cover of darkness. Hint: it involved a tin of paint, a washroom, and very misplaced optimism about the colour yellow.  Warning: If you have boucle items at home, this episode could be triggering!  This episode covers:  Karlie Verkerk's Northern Rivers home tour  Moving from Singapore to the Australian coast with young kids  Going on MasterChef and keeping it a secret  Launching FIN, the world's first food fragrance  Building an outdoor kitchen with recycled bricks and Facebook Marketplace finds  Cooking over fire and wood-kissed flavours  How to transform a small courtyard for entertaining  Collecting art as a couple and what it means to inherit a collection  Raising kids with an eye for art  Why cooking is Karlie's greatest source of calm  The butter yellow bathroom disaster  What homemaker means in 2026  What makes a home beautiful  The soundtrack of Karlie & James' lives: https://bremermccoy.com/ Karlie & James' Fin Food Fragrance: https://www.finfragrance.com/ Karlie's recipes on Home Beautiful: https://www.homebeautiful.com.au/author/karlie-verkerk/ 🎧 Listen to The Edit and follow on Apple Podcasts  Listen and follow on Spotify 👀 Watch and subscribe to The Edit on Home Beautiful's YouTube Watch full episodes  Credits:   Host: Elle Lovelock  Guest: Karlie Verkerk  Supervising Producer: Leah Porges  Head of Vodcasting: Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our wonderful Home Beautiful team.  The Edit is a production of Home Beautiful and Are Media: https://www.homebeautiful.com.au/home-beautiful-the-edit-podcast/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Moments You’ll Hear:  Why pushing boundaries can be frustrating, thrilling and deeply rewarding all at once  How to know when to push a trend a client isn’t ready for, and when to hold back  The “burnt toast” theory: why small moments of friction make a home feel alive  The basement golf simulator that brought a whole street together  A skate bowl built for rainy days, and designing homes people actually want to gather in  Building community the old-fashioned way, through barn-raising and hempcrete  Why Australian design is turning heads on the world stage at Milan Design Week  Thank you for listening ❤️ before you leave…  🗣️ Get in touch What did you think?

    Shona McElroy: the “fantastically ugly” apartment she turned into a beautiful home

    When interior designer Shona McElroy first walked into her Edgecliff apartment, most people would have walked straight back out.
