JEN BISHOP

SHE’S IS AN INTERIORS ADDICT!

IT’S SO NICE TO CHAT WITH YOU JEN!

There’s a mentality around that says you can’t have the home you want without spending a whole bunch of money. But our guest today has some super sneaky tips for things you can do to change the way your existing space feels without blowing the budget.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE BUILDHER PODCAST WITH JEN BISHOP

On the podcast today is Jen Bishop, the original interiors addict. Without any formal training in design and out of pure passion, Jen started the Interiors Addict blog as a way to gather all her inspirations into one place. 10 years down the track, Interiors Addict is now Australia’s largest interior design, styling and renovation blog, sharing home and renovation inspiration for everyday Aussies.

In this episode, Jen chats about her inspiration for starting the blog in the first place and how not being formally trained enables her to create relatable content and achievable projects for her readers. Jen is currently renovating her home in Sydney and sharing the whole process with her audience from beginning to end so we also chat a bit about that.

Jen shares 3 tangible tips for how to make your home look and feel better without digging too deep into your pockets. We talk about the magic of a coat of paint and how you just need to go for it (treat it like hair – it’ll grow back!). Jen and Rebeka also chat about how they love moving furniture and decor around to change things up and how you can improve a whole room by tackling one bothersome part that just doesn’t function properly.
