Inside Interior Design

Hue and Space

Design Secrets Over Coffee Inside Interior Design is the funny, no-fluff podcast that turns “I just need new cushions” into “ohhh… I actually need a plan.” Hosted by Melbourne interior designer Jan (Hue & Space) and her co-host Georga (resident normal-person, professional side-eye giver), each episode breaks down interior design in a way that’s easy to understand, genuinely useful, and actually enjoyable to listen to. Expect big sister energy, real talk, plenty of banter, and the kind of advice that saves you from expensive mistakes. We’re here for the people who love beautiful homes… but feel overwhelmed by decisions, confused by Pinterest, or stuck in the “I’ll start someday” loop. We talk you through the full design process from start to finish — how to get clear on what you want, how to make a room function properly, why layouts matter more than styling, how to avoid budget blowouts, and how to create a home that feels like you (not a showroom). You’ll learn the interior design theory that professionals use every day — without the jargon. We cover flow, scale and proportion, zoning, lighting, materials, finishes, joinery, and the tiny details that make a space feel calm, polished, and lived-in (in a good way). We also tackle the emotional side: decision fatigue, renovation overwhelm, and how to stop second-guessing every choice. Along the way, we take regular Design Detours: shorter, cheekier episodes where we myth-bust, answer listener dilemmas, and unpack the stuff nobody tells you — like why your room feels “off,” why your samples look different at night, and why buying furniture first is a trap. Whether you’re renovating, refreshing, furnishing from scratch, or just trying to make your home feel better without burning your weekend (or your savings), Inside Interior Design will help you move from inspiration to action — with a lot more confidence and a lot less chaos. New episodes fortnightly. Bring your questions, your moodboards, and your messy real-life floor plans. We’ll bring the plan, the laughs, and the design clarity.

    Ep 7 - What are we actually trying to achieve here, Inside Interior Design - Design Secrets Over Coffee

    In Episode 7 of Inside Interior Design — design secrets over coffee, Jan and Georga tackle one of the biggest problems in interior design: most people start making decisions before they actually know what they’re trying to achieve. From Pinterest saves and impulse furniture purchases to designing for a fantasy version of yourself, this episode breaks down why good interiors begin with clarity — not cushions. The conversation explores how interior designers think about function, flow, lifestyle, feeling, and long-term use before choosing finishes or styling. Jan shares real-life examples of homes that looked “done” but still didn’t work, while Georga asks the questions everyone secretly thinks but doesn’t say out loud. If you’ve ever renovated a room and still felt disappointed afterwards… this episode explains why. Funny, practical, and full of honest design advice, this episode helps listeners stop chasing random inspiration and start creating homes that actually support the way they live. In this episode: Why do most people start decorating too early The difference between “liking interiors” and solving a design problem Why Pinterest can confuse your decision-making Designing for your real life vs your aspirational life The hidden reason some homes still feel wrong after a renovation How interior designers identify what a space actually needs Why functionality often creates better aesthetics The importance of flow, zoning, and behaviour patterns How to stop wasting money on disconnected purchases Real examples of homes that needed design, not more decoration
