Welcome to Worst Case Scenario, a new 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, Lizzie Binks shares the time she tried to recreate an Instagram-perfect living room, including the armchairs, coffee table and rug, only to get it home and realise it hadn't gone exactly to plan. An expensive lesson in why what looks good for someone else doesn't always work for you.

When the day’s guests had gone from the Adairs Summer House, Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock stayed behind to record one more bed styling masterclass, just for you. 

She starts with one of the questions she hears most about bed linen: does thread count really matter? Elle’s answer is a personal one. A sleep retreat, and time with a sleep psychologist, showed her how sensitive she is to her surroundings. Around the same time she swapped the sheets on her own bed and, for her, it “changed everything”. 

From there it’s a practical guide to building a bed around the way you sleep. Elle shares the questions to ask before you buy and the fabric to try if you run hot. She talks through linen and the different cotton weaves, and how to get a plump, high-loft quilt with or without feathers. 

Then comes the styling, including a bed cover look borrowed from the beds she grew up with and a pillow trick from magazine shoots. Elle also explains why the size of your room should decide how many cushions go on the bed. 

This episode is presented in partnership with Adairs and was recorded at the Adairs Summer House at Villa Alezalia, in Bellevue Hill, Sydney, during the launch of the new Adairs summer collection. 

Moments You'll Hear:  

* Does thread count really matter, and what to ask yourself before you buy sheets 

* The fabric Elle suggests for hot sleepers, and the one that feels like your favourite T-shirt 

* Why linen sheets are a safe buy, trend or not 

* How to get a plump, high-loft quilt if down and feather isn’t for you 

* The bed cover look Elle grew up with, and a fresher take on the throw at the end of the bed 

* A note for anyone who rests their head on the display pillows 

* The magazine shoot trick for perfectly stacked (or standing) pillows

Does thread count really matter? It’s one of the bed linen questions Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock is asked most, and her answer has more to do with how sheets feel, and how you sleep, than the number on the packet. In The Edit’s first Masterclass, filmed at the Adairs Summer House at Villa Alezalia, in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill, Elle explains how to choose sheets, quilts and blankets that suit you, then shares styling tricks borrowed from magazine shoots and from the beds she grew up with. Presented in partnership with Adairs.

Mat Johnson has always had a thing for unconventional homes, from a riverside shack to a heritage-listed salon. But his latest purchase might be his most unexpected yet: a 116-year-old church he bought over the phone while he was cutting hair. 

In this episode of The Edit, Mat joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to talk about his love of old buildings, why he’d rather buy a property that speaks to his heart than his head, and his plans to transform the abandoned church into a home without losing its history and character. 

Plus, Mat opens up about life after The Block, becoming a dad, and the importance of creating a home filled with personality, family and the people you love. 

This episode covers: 
Mat’s love of unconventional and historic properties 
How he bought a 116-year-old church over the phone 
His plans to transform the heritage-listed church into a home 
Why preserving the history and character of old buildings matters to him 
His experience on The Block and the community behind the scenes 
Becoming a dad and building a co-parenting family 
How Mat approaches styling and renovating his own properties 
Why he believes you should buy something that makes you happy 
What makes a home beautiful in Mat’s eyes

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.

With the ensuite taking up too much space, they made the call to rethink the layout, shrinking the ensuite and moving the wall to create a better-balanced master suite.
