We sat down with Maxine Brady and Gemma Gear, the dynamic duo behind the creatively inspiring How to Home podcast, which we’re thrilled to sponsor! We had a chat to find out a little bit more about them, their fascinating careers and their favourite Earthborn colours and top tips.
MAXINE: “I’m Maxine, a professional interior stylist and creative director with over 25 years experience.” Maxine has styled for major publications and TV shows, all while navigating the beautiful world of interior design. “I live in Brighton in a cottage I renovated on a budget, sharing it with my excitable puppy, Teddy.”
GEMMA: “I’m Gemma — a visual merchandiser turned interior stylist.” Gemma transitioned to freelance styling and is now a popular content creator. “I live in Worthing with my partner Tom and our friendly spaniel, Digby, while juggling several creative projects, including our podcast!”
Together, they launched the How to Home podcast after a holiday chat in Marrakech. “We love sharing our love for colour and renovations!”
MAXINE: “I’ve styled everything from yachts to TV ads globally!” Maxine embraces the ever changing landscape of interiors, maintaining a rich portfolio that includes a blog, various media appearances, and more. “It keeps me on my toes for sure!”
GEMMA: “I’ve jumped from photoshoots to DIY projects, and I even design events now.” With her passion for spontaneity, Gemma thrives on variety. “I love working with different people and projects—there’s never a dull moment in this industry!”
MAXINE: “I’ve styled for countless magazines—if it has ‘home’ in the title, I’ve probably worked for it!” She reflects with a smile, recalling the thrill of seeing her work on billboards and TV.
GEMMA: “You might have seen my work in Ideal Home magazine or on TV shows like Interior Design Masters.” Gemma is proud of her versatility, working regionally and internationally, “turning stylish spaces into unforgettable experiences.”
MAXINE: “I styled a boat on the Thames with a forest of Christmas trees—Santa was onboard too!” Maxine’s unique experiences keep her career exhilarating. “You never know where the next job will take you!”
GEMMA: “Art directing The Great Home Transformation for BBC Studios was unforgettable.” Gemma reflects on the emotional reveal of transforming homes to meet their unique needs. “It was truly magical to bring comfort to families during tough times.”
MAXINE: “Swap out basic white switches for stylish metal ones to elevate any room.” Maxine finds this simple change can significantly enhance a home’s look. “It’s an affordable way to make a big difference!”
GEMMA: “Try painting your ceiling the same colour as your walls!” Gemma encourages a cohesive look that makes spaces feel larger. “It’s especially effective in small rooms.”
MAXINE: “I adore ‘The Lido’—it’s a bold teal that reminds me of Brighton’s coastline.” Maxine loves the vibrant energy it brings into her space. “It truly brightens my home!”
GEMMA: “I’m obsessed with Cricket, Daisy Chain, and Can-Can.” For Gemma, green is her go-to for a calming effect, while Daisy Chain brings cheerfulness. “Earthborn’s colours are so rich and characterful.”
MAXINE: “My living room is my favourite, especially with changeable sofa covers.” Maxine loves how she can refresh the space with colour to match the seasons. “It’s cosy and vibrant!”
GEMMA: “My kitchen is the heart of our home, but I also adore the rainbow room, my ‘happy place’!” Gemma shares how personal treasures and vibrant colours fill her space with love. “It’s just so uplifting!”
