Television presenter Sophie Falkiner is two years into a major renovation of her family home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and she’s thought about almost every detail, from the sage-green shutters and antique French mirrors to the checkerboard floors and ocean-view bath.  In this episode of The Edit, Sophie joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to talk through her Nancy Meyers-inspired vision, why she chose to renovate rather than knock down and rebuild, and the controversional decisions behind the floor plan, including giving up a bedroom to create a statement powder room.   Plus, Sophie looks back on her career in television, from Wheel of Fortune to travel shows including The Great Outdoors and Luxury Escapes, and shares her approach to family travel, entertaining and the little details that make her house feel like a home.  This episode covers:  Sophie’s journey from Wheel of Fortune to travel television  Why she’s always dreamed of a home by the ocean  What defines the timeless Nancy Meyers aesthetic  The influence of her Dutch mother and her love of a house-proud home  How Sophie’s Northern Beaches renovation is taking shape  Her plans for a Hamptons-inspired exterior and a classic, creamy kitchen  The design details she loves, from herringbone floors to vintage lighting  Why she believes a home should be warm, welcoming and made for entertaining  How she built a friendship group after moving to the Northern Beaches  Images: Laxale You can find Sophie on Instagram here  🎧 Listen to The Edit and follow on Apple Podcasts  Listen and follow on Spotify  👀 Watch and subscribe to The Edit on Home Beautiful's YouTube  Watch full episodes  Credits:  Host: Elle Lovelock  Guest: Sophie Falkiner  Edited by: Leah Porges  Head of Vodcasting: Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our wonderful Home Beautiful team.  The Edit is a production of Home Beautiful and Are Media.  https://www.homebeautiful.com.au/home-beautiful-the-edit-podcast/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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  You can find Adairs on Instagram here and Home Beautiful here  Shop the newly arrived Adairs homewares collection here - or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/aremedia_6163c_homebeautiful?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D105419X1625128%26xs%3D1%26xcust%3Dhbe-ytb-HB_THEEDIT%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.adairs.com.au%252Fnew%252F&p=HB_THEEDIT&Test=&AdditionalInfo= 🎧 Listen to The Edit and follow on Apple Podcasts  Listen and follow on Spotify  👀 Watch and subscribe to The Edit on Home Beautiful's YouTube  Watch full episodes  Credits:  Host: Elle Lovelock  In partnership with: Adairs  Filmed and edited by: Thomas Crnkovic  Head of Vodcasting: Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our wonderful Home Beautiful team.  The Edit is a production of Home Beautiful and Are Media.      See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
