The Interior Lovers
Hosted by interior stylist Sam Grigg and interior designer Naomi Scott-Dunne, we discuss anything and everything to do with the home and interiors. We don't always agree on what we like, but are both passionate about good design and helping people to create uniquely creative homes. With a focus on using colour, pattern and a mix and match approach when it comes to designing your home your way. And the fun thing is, that Sam and Naomi have never even met - with Sam living in the UK and Naomi in Denmark.

Old is the new new
In this episode we chat all things old versus old.
What is new? Mass-produced pieces from larger companies, large global brands, also artisanal hand-crafted new pieces.
So what is old? Most people classify vintage as between 20-50 and 100 years’ old, whilst antiques are 100+ years’ old. Yet the word vintage has a certain cachet and is quite loosely used. For example if something is simply second hand it doesn’t necessarily mean it is vintage.
Upholstery isn’t inexpensive; it is definitely a process to renovate and there are many criteria to consider. Design is subjective and we delve into cutting edge design, and how buying new has many advantages.
We discuss story-telling: whereby antique, collectables and vintage pieces have a story, and how mixing style periods creates a more layered room filled with conversational pieces.
Recycled and repurposed materials are also interesting to incorporate into a design – again utilizing pieces which hold meaning to the individual, and creating unique thoughtful spaces. We touch on replicas and chat about slow design and how care needs to be taken particularly when buying items online.
