What makes a beautifully styled room feel like somewhere you actually want to live?
For Sam Boughton, Head of Visual Merchandising at Coco Republic, it comes down to more than choosing the right furniture. From the music and signature scent in a showroom to the way furniture, artwork and accessories are layered together, every detail plays a part in creating a space that feels like home.
In this episode of The Edit, Sam takes Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock behind the scenes at Coco Republic, sharing how he curates the brand's showrooms and translates different design aesthetics into spaces that inspire customers. He explains where to start when furnishing a room from scratch, how to work with existing architecture, and why the biggest investment pieces should come before the finishing touches.
Plus, Sam shares his advice for styling open-plan living areas, creating distinct zones, mixing different design styles and bringing personality into a home. He also takes Elle on a tour of his own space, revealing his rather impressive collection of cushion covers, artwork and glassware and the special piece he'd save if his house was on fire.
This episode covers:
- What a visual merchandising role at Coco Republic actually involves
- How music, scent and styling help create an inviting showroom experience
- Where to start when furnishing a room from scratch
- How to choose investment pieces and build a room through layers
- Why your furniture doesn't have to match your home's architecture

- How to make a showroom-inspired look work in your own home
- The importance of finding pieces that reflect your personality

Show notes
When the day’s guests had gone from the Adairs Summer House, Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock stayed behind to record one more bed styling masterclass, just for you.
She starts with one of the questions she hears most about bed linen: does thread count really matter? Elle’s answer is a personal one. A sleep retreat, and time with a sleep psychologist, showed her how sensitive she is to her surroundings. Around the same time she swapped the sheets on her own bed and, for her, it “changed everything”.
From there it’s a practical guide to building a bed around the way you sleep. Elle shares the questions to ask before you buy and the fabric to try if you run hot. She talks through linen and the different cotton weaves, and how to get a plump, high-loft quilt with or without feathers.
Then comes the styling, including a bed cover look borrowed from the beds she grew up with and a pillow trick from magazine shoots. Elle also explains why the size of your room should decide how many cushions go on the bed.
This episode is presented in partnership with Adairs and was recorded at the Adairs Summer House at Villa Alezalia, in Bellevue Hill, Sydney, during the launch of the new Adairs summer collection.
Moments You'll Hear:
* Does thread count really matter, and what to ask yourself before you buy sheets
* The fabric Elle suggests for hot sleepers, and the one that feels like your favourite T-shirt
* Why linen sheets are a safe buy, trend or not
* How to get a plump, high-loft quilt if down and feather isn’t for you
* The bed cover look Elle grew up with, and a fresher take on the throw at the end of the bed
* A note for anyone who rests their head on the display pillows
* The magazine shoot trick for perfectly stacked (or standing) pillows

Show notes
Carla Grace has built her career painting the wildlife she grew up with in South Africa. She’s just landed back in Australia after a piece of hers went under the hammer at Sotheby's in New York for an astounding $40,000.
In this episode of The Edit, Carla tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about her childhood surrounded by rhinos, crocodiles and elephants, and how a stint without electricity in rural Zambia sparked the art career she's built over the past 12 years.
Plus, Carla takes us through the art studio she and her husband spent a decade planning and saving for. The design is deeply intentional, down to the exact colour of the walls, so nothing would throw off-tone light onto her paintings. She also shares her honest advice on choosing frames and displaying art purposefully.

Show notes
Victoria Devine spends her working life thinking about the part of a home most of us would rather not think about... the cost. What we pay for it, what we can afford and what it really takes to call somewhere home. As a financial advisor, host of She's on the Money, and managing director of mortgage broking business Zella, she leads a team of 17 brokers helping everyday Australians onto the property ladder.
But when it came to buying her own home, she broke nearly every rule in her own playbook.
In this episode of The Edit, Victoria tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the Saturday morning walk that ended with her calling a real estate agent to cancel an auction outright, and why the heart (almost) always wins when it comes to property.
Plus, Victoria takes us on a tour of her light-filled forever home, and shares exactly how she renovated her Mornington Peninsula beach house kitchen for under $10,000.
