The Great Indoors Sophie Robinson and Kate Watson-Smyth: Interior Design Experts

Hot off the press of Dulux’s annual Colour of the year announcement, Sophie and Kate talk
all things colour trends with Creative Director of Dulux, Marianne Shillingford. The colour all
our walls will be wearing next year is Sweet embrace, a delicate pink, with a tinge of lilac
nudging towards a cool grey. It’s a response to continued pressures stresses and starins we
are all suffering under. It’s not quite the optimistic party colour Kate and Sophie were
hoping for, but that’s coming Marianne assures us, but the masses aren’t quite ready for it
yet. A jewel of an episode bursting with insights into the art of colour forecasting, the
emotions of colour and why a soft pink is what we all need right now.

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. You
can sign up and enjoy these insights, and support the show here

pottery got a whole new opportunity to thrive. Turning away from his iconic graphic fashion
brand in search of a more slow paced pursuit Henry has pivoted to pots. Kate and Sophie
