Most people get one shot at designing their home. Get it wrong and you’ll feel it every single day. In this episode Behan sits down with Luke Tufilli from Aria Home Designs – one of Perth’s leading custom home designers – to talk about what separates a great home from a good one. From facade trends and street appeal to floor plan logic, wow factor features and how to get the absolute best out of your designer, this episode is essential listening before you draw a single line.
