How does a Real Housewife keep five dogs, three kids, white sofas and cream carpets looking spotless without harsh chemicals or losing her mind? In this episode of The Edit, Elle Lovelock from Home Beautiful sits down with cookbook author and Real Housewives of Sydney star Krissy Marsh to unpack her no‑nonsense home cleaning tips, smart hosting rituals and the heart-first philosophy behind her Double Bay family home.

Krissy reveals why “a home is only a home with the people in it and the connections you have,” and why she’ll always choose a welcoming table over a ‘trophy’ interior. From fridge audits and Tuesday night dinners for 20, to chemical-free cleaning hacks using bicarb soda, vinegar and essential oils, this is a masterclass in creating a calm, beautiful, low-tox home that still feels luxe.

You’ll hear how Krissy keeps white sofas guest-ready with clever fabric choices and throws, why she swears by top loader washing machines, and the surprisingly emotional story behind the custom artwork that captures her family’s life in one frame. Along the way, Krissy shares candid stories from her idyllic but imperfect Queensland childhood, raising teens, and hosting epic dinners where “there’s always a meal on that shelf” and everyone pitches in.

If you’ve ever searched for natural cleaning products, eco cleaning hacks, or stress-free entertaining at home, this episode is for you. Expect practical cleaning tips, mindset shifts and laugh-out-loud moments from one of Home Beautiful’s most loved home tour stars...

...plus inspiration for living room styling, where do you start? Our trend expert, Paula Cincotta from Oz Design, gives unique insights into quality furniture, care and interiors that are genuinely family-friendly and easy to create in your home. 

 

Moments you'll hear 🔊

Krissy’s three-ingredient cleaning hack
“There’s probably three ingredients you need to clean the entire house: bicarb soda, vinegar and a bit of lavender.”

Why she dresses kids in white
“I pride myself on having white whites… It’s so much easier to clean.”

The fridge audit you’ll want to copy
“Fridge audit is just the best… There should always be a meal on that level.”

What really makes a home
“A home is only a home with the people in it and the connections you have.”
