I LOVE trials and triumphs! Can you get Cameron back in to talk about gardening? Love the pod!

I listened to the first episode, which was getting to know the guests basically. I found it really boring because it is just a bunch of small talk so I jumped ahead hoping to actually get some tips on decorating and design, but it was pretty much the same situation where they are talking about...Read full review »

I listened to three episodes in the hopes it would get better. It did not. The host(s?) can’t ad lib a genuine conversation. It seems they have stock questions they ask but, as soon as the opportunity arises to expand on a topic spontaneously, they either miss it entirely or fill the space with...Read full review »

I’ve been a listener from the beginning and love this podcast. I see some people dislike the banter between the hosts or the trials and tribulations, but often that’s my favorite part of the show. I like that Caroline and Taryn are about my daughter’s ages and enjoy listening to their...Read full review »

I LOVE this podcast. This is the podcast that got me started on podcasts. It launched my love of decorating podcasts. I have listened to every episode twice. There. You know I love you guys, but seriously it is time to get it together. I listen to several podcasts and each of these launches their...Read full review »

This is a fantastic podcast for novices and professionals. Great discussion, good questions, fun guests and hosts! When there’s a guest who has written a book, I’ve often purchased the book after listening. I am very impressed with how well the hosts prepare for the podcast by carefully...Read full review »

I've listened to the How to Decorate podcast for awhile but I often turn it off because the hosts and guests speak so immaturely. There is a great deal of watered-down millennial speech. Phrases such as "sort of," "kind of," and "just" are used with great frequency. ...Read full review »

I always enjoy the podcast, especially enjoyed Joshua and his design ideas and perspectives. Please bring him back for more.

I absolutely love this podcast! I have been a subscriber since the beginning and feel like I have learned so much from Karen, Caroline, Taryn, and now Liz + the awesome guests they interview. Listening each week is such a treat and I enjoy the personal trials and triumphs and the interviews with...Read full review »

Just listened to your episode with the crew from Houses with History. I absolutely LOVE their show and this podcast. Thank you for bringing us wonderful guests and fresh perspectives on design and decoration decisions. I look forward to your show every week!

I’ve been a devoted Ballard Designs customer for years. Although, my closest store is over an hour away, I still go regularly to see and feel all the new looks. I discovered the podcast during Covid. I listen during my 60 min treadmill time. It’s like a lunch with your girlfriends without the...Read full review »

The guests are great, I wish the hosts wouldn’t keep interrupting them. Four hosts is overkill when you have great guests. There is one host who is a good interviewer but I don’t know her name.
GbyJim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/23
I love you guys! I am obsessed with ALL things decorating and learn so much from listening to you and your guests! I love the variety of your guests and how there is something for everyone! I have even been surprised choosing some that I didn’t think would be my style and ending up taking away...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast! So much so I have been now binge listening to the older episodes! I also cannot get enough of their new show on QVC PLUS Design School with Ballard Design. If you love design and decorating I would highly recommend this podcast!

Tisa T via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
The Ballard brand is a travesty. Listening to these 4(?) is like plucking each ear hair out individually. Please - go back to finishing school, or at least talk about design and decorating.
asdhjlvcfyuh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/23
If I could give this Podcast 10 stars I would. I found this Podcast several years after its inception but have since delved deep and listened to all the episodes (some episodes more than once). I have learned so much about interior design, landscaping, and at-home entertaining from listening to...Read full review »
Kjacobson4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
I have listened to all of your podcasts! Several more than once! I have also written in twice with two different decorating dilemmas and you all were very very helpful. I look forward to every Tuesday and listen to old episodes in between ❤️
Denisedwhite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
I really enjoy the host’s banter and interviews with so many incredible experts! I’ve learned so much about interiors! I also enjoy when guests outside of the decorating and interior design field are hosted on the podcast! (Landscape, architect, industrial design, etc.) Pro tip for northerners:...Read full review »

Thank you for inspiring me each time I listen!!

I absolutely adore this podcast. It’s brought me so many new designers to follow for inspiration and ideas to make our house a gorgeous home. Thank you and keep ‘em comin!
regina312 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/23
I really enjoy your podcast! So much helpful and inspiring information. I frequently send episodes to my clients, as I am an Interior Designer myself! Thank you for continuing to put out helpful hints and tricks, allowing them to come from YOU sometimes makes my job easier😀

I love this podcast! I’ve listened to every episode and have been meaning to write this review for a long time. Your podcast actually helped me get through the pandemic because I had Tuesdays to look forward to hearing your sweet and funny personalities and expert advice from you and your guests....Read full review »
Margot in CdM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/23
I can’t hear the guests or focus on what theyre staying because of all the interruptions (unnecessary laughing loudly, uh huh, trying to make a joke) from one host in particular.
lhussjohn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
I don’t think I’m part of the target demographic for this podcast. I love decor. Making my small (rental) beautiful is a huge passion of mine, but I shop from places like Wayfair and Amazon. I can’t relate to most of the guests or content, so I’m out.
avishtoday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
I’ve listened to every episode of How to Decorate! It makes home/interior design so fun and approachable. I am not in a financial situation to hire a designer so this podcast has helped me craft my home over time into a place I (and my husband) feel good about! I just listened to ep 290 on...Read full review »
Farmhouse Owner/Manager via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/23
As a 27-year-old just now beginning the process of decorating my own home, I find the candid interior design advice of Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to be a great weekly resource for inspiration and knowledge. Can’t wait to submit my own “decorating dilemma” one of these days!
Kjthewizard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/22
I miss the beginning portion of the show when the hosts chat, without that they feel completely stripped of their personalities and the overall flow is just awkward. Also, I’m sorry but some of the guests are so snobby and I end up feeling like a ragamuffin for not having upholstered dining...Read full review »

So many times I reach to turn off the episode because the "vocal fry" just grated on the nerves. Please tell your guests.Read full review »
Carpediemptf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/22
I really like this podcast but I wish the listener dilemma questions were shortened and not read verbatim. They are too long and sometimes hard to follow. Summarize! Other than that this is good information but it is missing some of the humorous banter from previous years.
dsterrette via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/22
I love your podcast, but there is one host, in particular, that does a LOT of agreeing when the guest is talking, by making the “ah-hmm... “ah-hmm...” constantly. Episode 258 is a great example of when I just have to stop listening. As much as I’d love to hear the entire podcast, I just can’t...Read full review »

At one time this was my binge podcast. But some one sped up the dialogue and robbed these ladles of any personality. I miss them ,

i LOVE this podcast so much. I have ONE piece of feedback to give and I promise you others feel the same- Taryn, my love you are awesome, but the reading of the Design Dilemmas is just not for you. Let the other ladies take this on! It just is very hard to listen to the choppiness. Love...Read full review »

I too am a design junkie and love to hear the details and insights the great design guests provide. I’ve learned lots and enjoy listening to them. However, I used to enjoy listening more frequently….The chatty part at the beginning I could do without and the hosts themselves do not seem...Read full review »
Rosieque via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/22
As a design junkie, I thoroughly enjoy the guests and show content. They often interview designers whose work I admire, and introduce me to new ones. It’s great learning more about the design industry experts, and they often share helpful tips about their process. The show’s hosts have changed...Read full review »

Some of the guest designers seem so untouchable unless you have a BIG budget. I would really like to see them recommend their favorite Ballard products instead of “showroom only”!
JDdubi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/22
I love this podcast! The ladies are so real, easy to listen to, and I always enjoy learning new decorating tips, tricks, and tidbits. So many amazing design hacks, when to save vs. splurge, and how to create a style that truly reflects YOU in your home! Keep up the amazing work ladies!
meeko123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/22
I have been listening since the beginning. This podcast used to be a cannot miss for me…but I’ve lost a lot of love for it.I’ve been increasingly annoyed by the hosts’ lengthy, rambling, apologetic, “not-sure-what-I-want-to-ask”questions for the guests. Tighten the questions up. Be brief and to...Read full review »

I like the interviews with the pros very much but can't handle the first 23 minutes of chit chat from 3 hosts. Very difficult to listen to 3 women interrupting, giggles and most importantly not interesting conversations they have. I've never written a negative review before but it's...Read full review »
Wrigley wright via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/22
Hi hi! I love the content, but I do think the time could be cut in half with a more efficient process. I think I would enjoy it more if they removed the small talk at the beginning, had only one interviewer, and left most of the dialogue to the guest. I would love to see the hour long episodes...Read full review »
Carley Sibley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/22
This would be one of the best design podcast if only the hosts could refrain from the overuse of the word “like”. Ladies you sound like teenagers and not in a good way IMO. Distracting and difficult to listen to.
hear no evil. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/22
I have enjoyed listening to the hosts and the guests they have on. It’s been very educational and helpful with my own design challenges! The only part that stops me from playing the podcast lately is how lengthy the chatting can be in the beginning of each episode. While I love hearing about the...Read full review »

Thank you thank you for doing a series on new builds! I’m in the process of a new construction home and am so glad to hear useful tips on how to proceed. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Thank you ladies for the first great episode!

I’m late to the party and have listened to almost all of the old episodes. I like the dynamics of both trios and think they each offer something different. I take notes, sending messages to myself with color names, names of designers, stylists and architects featured or discussed on the show. The...Read full review »

This is my only design pod and I love it. I have learned a ton and am oddly bonded to Ballard Designs because of it. Initially Karen, Taryn and Karen struck the just right balance of chatty, funny, girl-buddy talk and real substantial design knowledge. Trials and Triumphs were sometimes...Read full review »
