Colour Outside the Lines: Creating Meaningful Spaces with Pip Brett

In this episode, we sit down with DevelopHer Leanne Barbaro to unpack the journey of building her family home through a volume builder — and the gold is in the lessons learned. 

We talk through how volume building offers cost efficiencies but requires savvy planning to avoid cookie-cutter pitfalls. You’ll hear her tips on what to prioritise (hint: lighting!), how outdoor structures can impact natural light, and how long-term flexibility allows us to make up for the bold decisions we initially may not have been confident enough to make.

Leanne shows us how you can work with the volume build model to create a home that’s personal, functional, and full of potential. Her story is also a fantastic reminder that a home doesn’t have to be finished the day you move in — it’s allowed to evolve. As your lifestyle shifts and your tastes mature, your home can grow with you. It’s not a fixed showpiece; it’s a living, changing space that reflects who you are and how you live.

Volume Building with Vision: Leanne's Lessons in Creating a Home That’s Personal, Functional, and Full of Potential

Let’s face it—your Pinterest board might have champagne taste, but your project budget is the reality check you need to consider. In this episode, Rebeka and BHC's Head of Interiors Rebecca, dive into the heart of what it really means to design smarter, not pricier.

The key? Understanding the cost implications of your design choices from day one—and learning where a small tweak can save you thousands (without compromising on style).

What you’ll learn:


Why starting with a budget isn’t limiting—it’s empowering.


How small design decisions can create big cost differences (hello $12K bath!).


Smart swaps that deliver luxe looks without the luxury price tag.


The hidden structural choices that silently eat into your budget.


Why “design now, cost later” is a trap—and how to avoid it.

You’ll also hear real stories (including a $1M design build turned $280K reno win) and relatable laughs as we keep it refreshingly real. Because building beautifully on a budget is completely possible!

Tune in to learn how to take control of your design story—on your terms, and within your means.

Design Smarter, Not Pricier – Where to Spend (and Where to Save)

This week, we dive deep into the world of tapware with Rhys Beal from ABI Interiors—unpacking how this once purely functional hardware has evolved into a style statement and investment decision all on its own. You’ll get the inside scoop on how tapware has transformed over the years, moving beyond chrome to a stunning palette of finishes and materials.

Rhys shares everything you didn’t know you needed to know about tapware—from durability and coatings to cost-effective design decisions that last. We talk about the differences between PVD, electroplating, lacquer coating, and powder coating and how ABI Interior's approach to manufacturing and product testing is raising the bar across the industry. (As well as some upcoming exciting new developments and product ranges!)

Whether you’re designing your forever home or making strategic decisions on that next project, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make smart, stylish tapware choices.

Head to their website to take a look at ABI Interiors' dreamy range of tapware, basins, sinks, vanities, baths, showers, and accessories as well as the great house tours and interviews they share on Instagram for inspo:
