What more could we want for our homes than that they be bold, bright and beautiful? The three creatives that feature in this episode embody this philosophy, each creating incredible interiors and stand-out products full of vibrancy and energy. Join us on a colourful journey from London to Somerset, via Japan, India, Nigeria and beyond.


Meet our guests


Tricia Guild has been filling our home with joyful colour and pattern since 1970 when she first opened Designers Guild on London's Kings Road. In this episode she paints a vivid picture of her home and style, offering insights into shades to decorate with and sharing the small ways she brings a little life and joy to her everyday.


Eva Sonaike is a London-based designer who draws on her Nigerian and German heritage to create original textiles that are drenched in colour. Since launching her brand on maternity leave 13 years ago, Eva hasn't looked back. Talking to us from her north London home that she shares with her husband and two children, she tells us about their Friday night rituals, her love of fresh air and fragrance and the importance of power dressing.


Joa Studholme is the colour curator for Farrow & Ball, responsible for coming up with some of the world's best-loved names like Elephant's Breath and Nancy's Blushes. She whisks us to her Somerset school house, describing her new found love of nature and her most treasured possession - her Caran d'Ache.

What does it mean to live a well-crafted life? The Well-crafted Life, a podcast from Homes & Gardens, explores this idea through conversations with creative minds. Hosted by Editorial Director Sarah Spiteri, each episode brings together three different voices from the worlds of design, art, gardening, and home. These aren't abstract discussions; they are personal revelations about the tangible and intangible choices that shape our daily environments. Listeners hear how a thoughtful color palette, a cherished garden corner, or a handmade object can transform routine into ritual. This podcast delves into the philosophy behind creating a personal sanctuary, examining both grand renovations and subtle, meaningful touches. It’s about the intention we bring to our spaces and how those spaces, in turn, nurture us. The dialogue is intimate and exploratory, focusing on the blend of aesthetics and emotion that defines a home. By listening to this podcast, you join a conversation about cultivating beauty and purpose in the everyday, understanding that a life of quality is assembled detail by detail. The show naturally celebrates the process of creation itself, offering inspiration for anyone looking to infuse more care and character into their surroundings.
