Paint: Choosing colour and buying paint just got easy!

Thousands of Australians have used the extra time at home this year to renovate and invest in their property. New data shows home improvement is one of the biggest trends in 2020.

One of the best ways you can freshen up your home is with a coat of paint. It's a great way to make an impact and change things up without breaking the bank.

But the process for choosing the right paint colour can be a bit complicated and messy. So in this episode of At Home with Lauren Keenan, we bring you the story of Australian startup Tint, a local business using technology to make it easier to choose colours and buy premium paint for your home.

Here are the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: Shop for wellness and lifestyle gifts, homewares and women's clothing with a conscience at We Are Mindful Store; Get set for summer entertaining with the new ceramics collection from Mediterranean-inspired lifestyle brand Alex and Trahanas; and get in the mood for Christmas by watching Holiday Home Makeover with Mr Christmas hosted by interior designer Benjamin Bradley.

Shop small, travel local and do good this summer!

Shop small, travel local and do good this summer!

It feels good to help out - whether it's supporting local businesses or people living and working in your fav holiday spot.

This year has been tough, especially for some in regional Australia. There's been drought, bushfires and floods in some parts, followed by the impact of coronavirus, travel bans and the economic impact from the first recession in 30 years.

In this episode of At Home with Lauren Keenan, your authority on home lifestyle and interior design, we talk about how you can help make a difference this summer by shopping small, travelling local and supporting fellow our Aussies.

Hear from Grace McBride from Spend with Them, a massive social media movement profiling small businesses, food producers, designers and artisans in regional Australia affected by fires and the pandemic. And we take you to The Ruse, a very cool new Mexican bar and restaurant on the NSW South Coast with beautiful interiors to find out how they're getting ready for a big summer ahead.

Here are the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: Get more interiors inspiration watching Dream Home Makeover with Studio McGee on Netflix; buy new tablecloths from the team at Australian company Bed Threads in their new 'Spreads' range; and get ready for summer with beautiful UPF50+ beach umbrellas from Sunday Supply Co.

How to make weeknights at home great again!

How to make weeknights at home great again!

It's been a weird year, and everyone's routine has changed. We reckon feeling comfortable and happy at home goes a long way to helping us all cope with challenges.

Eating a yum meal at a table that's set beautifully is a great way to finish the day. So in this episode of At Home with Lauren Keenan we share Lauren's tips to take your table styling up a notch to create a fun and slightly special mid-week dining experience at home.

Plus, we've been ordering meal kits for mid-week dinners for around 5 years because it's a great way to get healthy and tasty food in easy to prepare packs. Olivia Andrews, co-founder and head of culinary at Marley Spoon, joins us to talk about how it works and why meal kit delivery services are booming in the pandemic.

Olivia cooked in Gordon Ramsay's Michelin-starred restaurant in London, she has worked across a range of well-known food cooking shows and magazines, she's a cookbook author and an ambassador for Nutrition Australia's Try For 5 campaign to get us all eating more veggies.

Here are the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: Buy exclusive Australian-made homewares at Victoria's Atley.co; create amazing exterior spaces with the brand new UV and weather resistant outdoor range from caesarstone; and find more Australia-made furniture and homewares in the updated offering from retailer Freedom Furniture.

This episode is supported by leading Sydney real estate agent Ercan Ersan, who you can trust to connect you with the property that's right for your lifestyle.

Fine dining fun at home | Chef Mike Eggert, Totti's

Fine dining fun at home | Chef Mike Eggert, Totti's

We've all been cooking more at home in 2020. And cafes and restaurants have been forced to change their business models and cater to the new normal.

Like Mike Eggert at Totti's in Sydney. When the pandemic hit, he had to close their doors. But Mike was able to pivot and offer restaurant quality food delivered to your home as part of the new Merivale at Home service. We tried it and loved it!

So in this episode of At Lauren Keenan Home we chat to Mike about how he coped with closing his doors less than 3 months after the official opening, how the delivery service works and why it's been so successful.

Also in this episode we update you on mortgage interest rates, how the federal budget is helping first home buyers, and Lauren talks through the difference between inspiration and imitation in interior design.

Here are the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: Read the new definitive guide on house plants called Plantopedia by Leaf Supply; start planning for 2021 with a beautiful diary from Emma Kate Co; and relax this weekend watching Emily in Paris on Netflix for some fun fashion in the show from Sex and the City creator Darren Star.

We also talked about Scott's travel series on Instagram where he's sharing his favourite travel pics for some positivity and inspiration while borders are closed. Check them out and tag your fav holiday posts with #travellingmanau.

This episode is supported by leading Sydney real estate agent Ercan Ersan, who you can trust to connect you with the property that's right for your lifestyle.
