BB: Well, my dog, for starters. And then my yellow kitchen. I've just moved into a newer place, so I'm trying to add lots more character to it. And it's so gloomy here outside that I wanted to paint a little bit of sunshine inside. It was actually like a kit home, so it came with lots of standard things. I'm wanting to just add a bit of personality to it. Tell us about your childhood home BB: I spend most of my time in my kitchen/diner but I have made it into a library and kind of sitting area too. That's where I like to sit and watch my husband cook dinner. I like little nooks, so it's been about creating cosy spaces that you can kind of nestle into. Describe the view outside your bedroom window The publisher says: “Living on the remote island of Mull has inspired Banjo to be resourceful and inventive in his design outlook. With sustainability and budget in mind, he combines vintage finds with clever design and re-purposes the old, re-imagining it into something new. I'm kind of hoping I can find that perfect balance. Doing the winner's project, [to transform a self-catering beach retreat in Watergate Bay in Cornwall], taught me a lot. I was almost an apprentice. After turning something around in two days on the show, it was quite different to do a four-month project, with an entire production team and a hefty budget. I'm really pleased with the result – it's just a space that's Banjo, sustainable and natural and reflective of the environment. Located on small Inner Hebrides island of Ulva with a two-hour walk from the nearest road, locals enlisted interior designer Banjo Beale and a team of tradespeople to help give the property a much-needed makeover.

The weather was a massive challenge for us. We were doing up a bothy as Hurricane Ian was coming in. Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our newsletter here. READ NEXT: Banjo is the winner of BBC's Interior Design Masters 2022, host of Scotland's Home Of The Year and author of a forthcoming book which will be released in October 2023. Based in the Scottish Hebrides, the interior designer is also the star of a brand new TV series, Designing The Hebrides . It doesn’t matter whether you’re living in London or the Hebrides, I think we can just decide to actually make a conscious effort not to run out to these big stores and buy flat things. ‘Because part of the adventure is just getting the free stuff, isn’t it? I love going and meeting the person that I’m getting it off and going into their living room and you’ve got a story then immediately where it’s from. I know, I'm a crier – happy tears, sad tears, overwhelmed tears, every kind of tears – and at the end, it was probably tears of exhaustion. Where did you watch the final and how did you feel?It’s an accessible roadmap to creating authentic and sustainable design that doesn’t cost the earth.

Book festival inspires words of praise - The Oban Times

From contemporary to classic, his spaces are characterful, curated and eco-conscious. In Wild Isle Style, Banjo encourages people to give design a go and create their own signature style.”

Becoming a judge

BB: I think that would be when I was on Interior Design Masters. Michelle Ogundehin told me that I just have to trust my gut and you know what you like and you know what works. Sometimes you've just got to go with that feeling. What is the best home bargain you've ever snapped up?
