We spend around 90 per cent of our lives indoors, but how much thought do we give to the ways our homes affect our health and wellbeing? From the materials inside our walls to the direction our homes face, the design decisions we make can have a lasting impact on how we live.

In this episode of The Edit, Metricon Homes’ National Design Director Adrian Popple returns to join Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock for a conversation about the future of wellness-led home design. Adrian shares the thinking behind Metricon Homes’ ambitious wellness concept home in Byron Bay, which brings together healthier materials, improved indoor air quality, passive design principles and a focus on sustainability to create a home that looks as beautiful as it feels to live in.

Plus, Adrian takes us on a virtual tour of the home, explains why the project is aiming for a 10-star energy rating, and reveals the design principles that could help create healthier, more comfortable homes for Australian homeowners.

This episode covers:

• What a wellness home is and how it can support our health and wellbeing
• The surprising ways building materials and electrical wiring can affect our indoor environment
• Why indoor air quality, ventilation and natural materials matter
• How passive solar design and home orientation can improve comfort and energy efficiency
• Inside Metricon Homes’ wellness concept home, from its two pavilions to its dedicated wellness hub
• The benefits of hempcrete, biophilic design and bringing the outdoors in
• Why the project is aiming beyond the current seven-star energy rating, and what Adrian hopes to bring to future home designs

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

Victoria Devine spends her working life thinking about the part of a home most of us would rather not think about... the cost. What we pay for it, what we can afford and what it really takes to call somewhere home. As a financial advisor, host of She's on the Money, and managing director of mortgage broking business Zella, she leads a team of 17 brokers helping everyday Australians onto the property ladder.

But when it came to buying her own home, she broke nearly every rule in her own playbook.

In this episode of The Edit, Victoria tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the Saturday morning walk that ended with her calling a real estate agent to cancel an auction outright, and why the heart (almost) always wins when it comes to property.

Plus, Victoria takes us on a tour of her light-filled forever home, and shares exactly how she renovated her Mornington Peninsula beach house kitchen for under $10,000.

And enjoy this first peek into Part 1 of the iconic Deborah Hutton's episode of The Edit!

Deborah Hutton has worn many hats - TV presenter, magazine editor, model - but now she's doing something she's never done before: project manager and interior designer. After selling her house in Bronte, she bought a crumbling red brick cottage overlooking the ocean south of Sydney and is now deep in a build she describes as the home of her life.

In this episode of The Edit, Deb joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to talk about what drew her away from Sydney to the tiny seaside community of Wombarra, why she chose to work with architect Walter Barda, and how a landslide, a geotech and 70 concrete piers all became part of the story.

Plus, Deb shares why there’s not a drop of white in the colour palette, how a visit to Huka Lodge in New Zealand shaped the entire aesthetic, and why she’s building this house entirely for bringing people together.
