Joining us on the podcast this week is Karin Bochnik of KB-ID, specialising in Interior Direction. She explains how Interior Direction differs from styling and how she helps developers, homeowners, and architects create visually appealing spaces that target specific buyers and showcase their work in its best light - typically a dreamy setting!

She touches on how this role has shifted over the years - no longer forming part of the "final touch" of a project but more so being a strategic approach at the beginning, to help shape a space to specifically meet the lifestyle of the resident.

Karin also shares the importance of having a clear vision and really diving deep to understand the psychology of the resident and their lifestyle needs.

The Distinction Between Editorial Styling and Decorating for Real Clients

In this episode we welcome Climate Scientist and DevelopHer, Dr Heather Stevens!

Heather takes us into how climate change is shaping property investment and development, with a focus on fire and flood risks. She points out how crucial it is to factor in these risks when purchasing or developing properties, as they can heavily influence building requirements, insurance premiums, and even interest rates.

She also stresses the growing need for climate-adapted housing designs, especially when it comes to managing extreme heat and its impact on tenants. Heather encourages landlords to offer affordable energy solutions, like solar panels, to help reduce energy poverty.

The discussion highlights how climate change is affecting housing and the importance of creating homes that are both sustainable and resilient. While transitioning to greener practices, such as moving away from gas and embracing renewable energy, comes with challenges, it’s essential. From solar panels, to batteries and water tanks, Heather covers the big role these play in cutting energy costs. 

We also chat about the potential for investing in areas that are less vulnerable to climate change impacts.

We can't hide from these issues - they affect us all in one way or another - so this is a great listen to get across some risks that currently exist, as well as future considerations you should keep in mind.
