On Big House, Little House (starts 23 September on the Home
Channel, 176 on DStv), interior designer Aidan Keane helps
people to create amazing new spaces in their homes. In each episode, we see him lend
his expertise to two families with two very different homes: one big and one small.
The homeowners have completely different budgets to work with but have very similar
renovation projects in mind. Don’t miss it!Septemberflashes
