The Find it. Style it. Podcast

One thing every home needs is lighting. And like so many things in interior design, it can be about both form and function. We get asked a lot about functional lighting, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. These task areas are high traffic, and getting functional lighting wrong can turn our everyday tasks like cooking, shaving and applying make up into a whole lot more hard work. So in this episode of our award-winning podcast At Home with Lauren Keenan, we share our do’s and don’ts for task lighting and we bring in professional architectural lighting designer Mandi Kontos from Beacon Lighting too.

Natural cleaning products are becoming more popular, and with good reason. They’re better for the environment, better for your health and your family, and they create less waste than traditional cleaning products. Australians are continuing to adapt to more sustainable practices at home and we think that anything we can do to reduce our impact on the environment is worth talking about. So in this episode of At Home with Lauren Keenan, your authority on home, lifestyle and interior design, we’ve got recommendations for the natural cleaning products we like to use at home. Plus we have an exclusive interview with Frankie Layton, an Australian entrepreneur doing amazing things to reduce waste and the environmental impact of laundry detergent at The Dirt Company.

We’re approaching the business end of The Block on Channel Nine, one of the biggest building and renovation TV shows on the planet. The Block has delivered on design and drama in spades in 2021. And today we’re talking to the show’s leading hand on site Foreman Dan Reilly. He joined the show as a contestant with his partner Dani back in 2012 and after a second appearance in 2013 they’ve set up their own full-service home design and construction business called Red Door Project. Dan is now a qualified builder and has graduated from contestant to foreman on The Block. And it’s pretty hard to imagine the show without him as part of the ensemble of hosts with Shelley Craft, Keith and Scott Cam.
