This episode is all about secondary bedrooms. “Secondary bedrooms” is the terminology Amelia uses to refer to any bedrooms that aren’t the main bedroom. These can include:
Nurseries for infant babies and toddlers
Kids’ bedrooms, for kids as they grow into their teenage years and beyond
Guest accommodation for friends and relatives that may come to stay
Bedrooms for elderly family members who may move in at some point – either temporarily or permanently
Bedrooms for any other people you may have live in your home – such as a nanny or au pair

Of course, Amelia will be sharing the four F’s and how to use them to get it right in these bedrooms. And, she'll also be identifying key mistakes and big design tips to help you design great bedroom spaces.

You’ll probably find too that this podcast episode will pose a lot of questions to you.

When it comes to family homes, some choices are really personal, and about how you need to live in your home. These choices will be about who lives in your home now, and who might be living in your home in the future.

So, Amelia will be taking you through the various things to consider when determining how to include these bedrooms in your home.

And she’ll share mistakes to avoid and key design tips for all types of secondary bedrooms.

Listen to the podcast now, and learn how to get it right. It’s a chunky episode so Amelia hopes you find it super useful!

In this episode, you’ll hear more about Clare’s project, especially the construction process, and how she got selective about where she chose to hang out online, and what kind of information she generally digested during her project. 

Clare also talks about her mindset, sharing a lot of great insights about how she supported herself to be resilient and back her decisions. 

She also dives into some detail about some of the choices that have made a big difference to her lifestyle and convenience in her home, and what she would do differently if she had her time over.
