August 21, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

Buying more things will not automatically give you personal style. Sometimes the chicest thing you can do is stop shopping, properly understand your taste and edit what you already own.

In this episode of Home & Hosting, Loui answers your questions about developing a personal interior style, working with the architecture of your home, making colourful and eclectic interiors feel considered, creating the Nancy Meyers aesthetic without becoming themed, and keeping country style from looking dated.

Plus, a quick-fire round of Chic or Cheap covering bifold wardrobe doors, feature walls, chopping boards behind the stove, overfilled cushions and the dreaded karate chop.

A practical guide to making your home feel more expensive, personal and put together without filling it with more unnecessary stuff.
