At Lauren Keenan Home we never design homes and interiors without including plants.

Plants look amazing, they soften hard architectural features and finishes, and they really do bring a room alive. We also know from a range of studies that plants are really good for your health and wellbeing. And that's so important right now when we're all spending more time at home.

Our guest today on At Home with Lauren Keenan is Alana Langan, one half of IVY MUSE, a botanical wares studio in Melbourne. Alana's a product designer, a stylist, a plant lover, and she's leading a movement to help us greenify our spaces and incorporate plants into our lives.

Here are the links for Lauren's Lovely List recommendations in this episode: Stay at Hold Cottage in Gunning, NSW Southern Tablelands; try recipes from a cookbook called Neighbourhood by Hetty McKinnon; and check out @amberinteriors and her modern relaxed interiors in California.

Get in touch if you have a topic you want us to talk about on the podcast. Same goes if you want to hire Lauren to help create your perfect home.
