The Individual Home features three of the UK's leading interior designers who specialise in creating personal spaces that are joyful and uplifting. It's a melting pot of rich colours, treasured textiles, frothy coffees and birthday balloons, with a lot of comfort thrown in along the way.


Meet the guests

There are few designers with as iconic a look as Kit Kemp. Her hotels in London and New York are exuberant, drenched in colour and pattern, and filled with one-off pieces by undiscovered makers. In this podcast, Kit opens up both her home and her design notebook to share with us the ways she enhances her own spaces.


Beata Heuman is a Swedish-born interior designer that delights with her eccentric and playful approach to design. She set up on her own in 2013, having trained with Nicky Haslam. Here, Beata describes with enthusiasm the rituals she has fostered and the spaces in her own home in which she finds the most joy. 


Comfortable and uplifting best describes rooms created by Soane founder Lulu Lytle. She designs with the guiding principle that furniture should be both enhancing and inherently useful. Her design story began at 25, when she founded her business and embarked on a road trip to find traditional craftspeople with whom she could work. She speaks to us from her west London flat that’s filled with found fabrics, rich colours and the spirit of family life.

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.
