STRONG FOUNDATIONS: • In a world of DIY, Pinterest, curated social feeds and AI workshopping it feels like coming up with a design for your new home should be easier than ever. Unfortunately, far from making things easier, the sheer volume of options, advice and differing opinions online only makes it harder to figure out what's important, what's going to help, and what is ultimately the best way to go. Many homes stop before they even start because the process is just too hard. No one wants that. That's why Sydney Home Design+ Living's Belinda Coleman spoke to Mathew Turner, founder and director of MT Design Collective about how designing a home should actually go.

PLANNING EARLY FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY • We've all felt the effects of a home that just isn't built for the weather. Houses that feel hot in summer, cold in winter, and drain the wallet just trying to keep them bearably liveable. But when it's your new home we're talking about, we want something a little better. More control over temperature, preferably at lower prices. Join Sydney Home Design and Living's Belinda Coleman as she sits down with Cengiz Ozcelik, In-House Energy Assessor at Binet Homes, to discuss his top tips and strategies for energy efficient design.

MAKE THE HOUSE A HOME: DESIGNED WITH LIVEABILITY IN MIND • The opportunity in front of you is seemingly ... infinite. Each aspect of the home, from its style, façade and material, crafts the atmosphere. So, how do you know what works and where to begin? Join Sydney Home Design + Living's Stef Grinberg as she chats to Alec Hogan, director and head designer of Form By Design, as he provides insight into planning your dream space.

SMALL CHANGE, BIG IMPACT! • When it comes to building and renovating your home, the devil is in the details. Often, seemingly minor features get overlooked, and although it feels irrelevant at the time, eventually, a lack of these small additions becomes a daily frustration. But what if there was a way to avoid that headache? Join Sydney Home Design + Living's Stef Grinberg as she chats to Ross Cummings, director of Braeside Group Sydney, to discuss the need for precision and custom elements within the building process.
