With endless inspiration online, home improvements have never been more tempting - but is reality living up to the "property porn" hype?

In this episode, our host Iona Bain is joined by Paula Higgins from the HomeOwners Alliance to explore the smartest ways to transform your home without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re a homeowner or a renter, there are plenty of ways to refresh your home - sometimes all it takes is a fresh coat of paint and a little creativity!
