Ep 6 - Design Detour - Inside Interior Design The Podcast

How Do You Actually Use This Room?

Inside Interior Design – Design Secrets Over Coffee.

In this Design Detour, Jan and Georga share their experiences and answer listener questions from the last episode, Ep 5: Real Life First, Pretty Later.  Have you ever looked at a room in your house and thought… what is this even for? In this episode, Jan and Georga unpack why so many spaces end up underused, awkward, or full of random stuff—and it usually comes down to one thing: no one ever defined how the room should function in real life.

Off the back of Real Life First, Pretty Later, they break down the gap between “what the room is called” and what actually happens in it. From spare rooms turned dumping zones to dining rooms no one eats in, this is your reset. Because good design isn’t about assigning a purpose—it’s about designing around what you actually do.
