In the very first episode of The Edit, we had to start with one of Australia’s most loved interior designers and long-time judge on The Block — Darren Palmer. Hosted by Home Beautiful editor Elle Lovelock, Darren breaks down exactly how to kick-start a decorating or renovation project with confidence, from clarifying your vision to avoiding the budget blowouts and design pitfalls he sees all too often.

Darren also takes us behind the scenes of Jennifer Hawkins’ incredible home, sharing juicy details from the design process, the big hero moments, and what it really takes to pull off a celebrity-level dream house. Along the way, he talks about creating “easy luxury” at home, why every space should be beautiful and liveable, and how to make design decisions you’ll still love in 10 years’ time.

If you love refining your home sanctuary, interior design, home makeovers and real-life renovation advice, this episode of The Edit is your ultimate starting point. Hit play to get inspired, get practical tips you can use this weekend, and see your home with fresh eyes.
