Sophie Robinson and Kate Watson-Smyth: Interior Design Experts

The Great indoors is a celebration of all things interiors and everything you need to know about making your house a home. In each episode, TV presenter and designer Sophie Robinson and best-selling author and journalist Kate Watson-Smyth will discuss, debate and guide you through the top trends and hottest topics from the home front. So pull up a chair…

The Great Indoors

We’re back to basics!
Where to start with your home redecoration, and it’s not what you think.

Ep154

We’re back! And we’re kicking off this new 6 week season by asking the big question: where should you actually start when redecorating your
home?

Spoiler... it’s not picking a paint colour.

Sophie and Kate unpack the emotional side of
interiors, why mood comes first, and how to plan your layout before splashing the cash. Expect some strong feelings about lighting grids, a surprise colour consultation during an ultrasound, and Lucy the dog stealing the show as usual.

Funny, fabulous and full of practical tips… this is your essential starting point for any home makeover.

154: New Series - We're back to basics!

Ep155 - Plans in Place

We’re still going strong with our Back to Basics miniseries and this week’s chat is all about the planning phase... and trust me, it’s a juicy one!

Before you even think about picking up a paintbrush or splashing out on tiles, you need to tackle the layout. Sophie and Kate get properly stuck into how to make your space work for your lifestyle… swapping rooms around, rethinking doorways, and deciding if your sofa really needs to be pushed up against the wall.

Expect tales of sliding doors, repurposed pantries, and a solid rethink on the whole extension obsession. There’s even a Wordle tangent and some seriously good tips for anyone working from home.

It’s practical, packed with inspiration, and full of laughs. This episode might just save you a ton of money and help you fall back in love with your home.

155: Plans in Place

We’re talking brass tacks in Episode 156! It’s all about designing on a budget. Where to spend, where to save, and how to make your money go further without losing style or impact.

Sophie and Kate roll up their sleeves and get stuck into the juicy details... from when it’s worth splurging on designer paint and when it really isn't, to budget-friendly alternatives for tiling, taps, lighting, and even furniture. Plus, a big reminder about contingency planning and those pesky renovation surprises that can swallow your budget whole.

Sophie shares her genius hack that saved thousands by painting over UPVC windows rather than replacing them, and Kate talks sensible socket placements and why your mattress or desk chair might be worth a bit of a splurge.

And yes, we do kick things off with our brand new segment The Feisty Fifteen, where we get a few things off our chests… this week? Beige. Bland or brilliant?

It’s packed, it’s practical, and it might just save you a fortune.

156: Designing on a Budget

Episode 157: Colour Scheming

Sophie and Kate are back with the fourth part of their Back to Basics series… and this one’s all about colour. Some people are all for bold Crayola vibes - others prefer a calming neutral. Either way, this episode has you covered.

Sophie shares her go-to method for starting a scheme (hint: it usually begins with a cushion) and explains how to layer colour in a way that feels personal and pulled together. Kate flies the flag for powerful neutrals… even if it did take her five repaints to land on the right greige!

Laughs, colour mishaps, and loads of brilliant advice on undertones, contrast, and how not to choose your wall colour from a tiny swatch. Oh, and Sophie’s hatred for beige carpets is very real.
