Renovating, building or interested in interior design? There’s an abundance of information at your fingertips, perhaps it could be argued that there’s too much! So how do you find advice online from a source that you can trust, where the information is backed by experience, knowledge and research? Lauren Keenan is person we feel ticks all of the boxes, so much so that Flooring Xtra has recently sponsored her informative podcast, At Home with Lauren Keenan. Together with her co-host Scott, they explore the world of renovating, lifestyle and all things design in a refreshingly frank and accessible way that has you reaching for your notebook and Pinterest.

So, who is Lauren and how has she created a podcast worth listening to? Lauren is an experienced interior stylist based in Sydney, where she’s helped many people create their dream homes. Her work has been widely published and she’s become an authority on all things interior design. From the flooring up, Lauren dishes out excellent advice that is practical while being inspiring.

On the collaboration, Lauren notes;

“Great interior design and family living always starts from the bottom up. When I’m working with my clients, I want to know how they live and make selections that suit them best,” Lauren said. It’s great to have Flooring Xtra supporting the podcast and connecting with our listeners to kick off the year. Together, we can reach more Australians and help them to improve their homes during the pandemic. I can’t wait to get talking about interiors again this year, especially in partnership with a growing brand like Flooring Xtra that helps to provide the foundation for so many beautiful Australian homes.”

On the first sponsored episode, Lauren and Scott explore everything timber flooring, from solid timber floors through to timber-look designs. Flooring Xtra’s Catherine Burnham joins the duo to lend her expertise, particularly providing the nitty-gritty details of maintenance and technical aspects. Catherine gives sound advice, encouraging the listener to really think about how they live in their home, their lifestyle and what they require from their flooring before making a selection.

The partnership begins on Saturday 19 February 2022 and it includes episodes dedicated to timber flooring options, carpet flooring and how to choose the right flooring for your home.“Lauren is well regarded for her work as an interior stylist. And as someone that knows about the power of making an emotional connection through design and styling, we’re really excited to support the show,” Flooring Xtra Marketing Manager Michelle Dow said. “We look after our customers from the moment they walk through our doors until they’re walking across their beautiful brand-new flooring at home. Partnering with Lauren on her award-winning podcast is another way for us to show that we value great design and a fabulous flooring experience for everyone.”
