Roost episode 10 is here and it’s time to take in all the home inspo, including our styling cushions 101, how to choose the best freezer and how to build a herb garden in a planter, suitable for even small gardens.
And, for UK viewers, one lucky winner will have the chance to win a £1000 gift voucher for Astro products at Dusk lighting.
Entering couldn’t be simpler – all you have to do is watch and then answer the question below.
So what exactly is in the episode?
First up, we share our tips for choosing a new freezer.
As the way we cook and shop has changed, so has the household freezer. Where once most could make do with a small in-fridge ice box for the odd pack of peas or fish fingers, many of us enjoy keeping a good range of frozen food in stock, or freezing our leftovers meaning a small freezer compartment just won’t do.
And the idea of an overflow chest freezer in the garage isn’t so appealing in the modern home. So if you are looking to improve your freezer space in the kitchen, we take you through a few things to think about before you buy.
Next up, adding cushions is one of the easiest ways to transform your sofa or bed, whether it’s to complement your existing decor, add a pop of color, or just to get super comfy. And with the right pairings and styling, you’ll help give a room a more polished look.

You could go bold with colors and prints to make a style statement, or opt for different finishes to add a touch of luxury… basically, you can’t go wrong with adding a cushion or two to tie a color scheme together.
We run you through my tips on tying a room together with cushions.
Finally, if you’re interested in growing your own, our gardening expert, Teresa Conway, shows us how to arrange a herb planter for the best results. From choosing the right size pot and the right type of soil to the planting process, we take you through the step-by-step so you can easily add herbs to your container garden.
So, put your feet up and get ready to be inspired by Roost episode 10:

She also works on the homes brands' video show, on the Future Homes Network, which is packed full of ideas to help you make the most of your own home and garden. Since getting on the property market with her first apartment and then more recently a house, her passion for interior design and gardening has taken on a new lease of life. Jenny's currently on the lookout for a doer-upper to put her stamp on.
