Ep.70: Carson Kressley & Thom Filicia

How to Decorate

This week, we are five peas in a podcast with besties and designers Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia. These hilarious gentlemen talk to us about how they met at the gym and eventually became members of the smash show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and a sneak peek into their new show Get a Room on Bravo. They also talk about why bad taste is better than no taste, their love of using design to tell a story, and how authenticity is the number one design trend in modern day culture.

What You’ll Hear on This Episode:

The hilarious story on how Thom and Carson met at the gym

How they auditioned and got picked for Queer Eye, and went on to bond filming over 100 episodes together

Their mutual love for taking on both large budget “dream” projects, and more small affordable DIY’s

The impressive knowledge that there is a difference between draperies and curtains

Thom and Carson’s tips to make a big impact with small places and smaller things

Why we shouldn’t be afraid to mix brands and prices in design, the same way we do with fashion

More about anchor pieces in each room, and why it’s crucial to invest in at least these items

What makes their design show Get a Room unique, and how the show was developed

Carson and Thom’s mission when working with people: to tell their story and bring it out in a beautiful way, and be serious about design while not taking themselves (or life) too seriously

Why your kitchen may be your new living room
