Welcome to Worst Case Scenario, a bite-sized episode from Home Beautiful’s The Edit podcast, where we ask our guests about their biggest ‘oh-no’ moment in the home. 

Today, Metricon Homes’ National Design Director Adrian Popple takes us behind the scenes of a display home disaster when the team realised the master bedroom was simply too small. The solution? Redesigning the ensuite and moving a wall to give the bedroom suite the space and balance it needed, proving that sometimes, it’s never too late to make a change.
