In this episode of The BEESPACE Podcast, we're joined by Charlene Turkington from BUNKR, a Northern Ireland-based interior design studio transforming Belfast's rental landscape with unapologetically bold designs.
From flipping houses in Yorkshire while juggling a newborn, to launching a design-led business that's challenging every beige property in Belfast's rental scene, Charlene shares how she turned her property obsession into a design career.
We discuss the mediocre state of Northern Ireland's rental market (spoiler – IKEA just isn't cutting it), why design-forward properties consistently trigger incredible reactions, and how Charlene's tile addiction signals a new era for Belfast.
Charlene also doesn't hold back about the political realities of Northern Ireland's planning system, the struggles of managing property remotely during COVID, and why her technical architecture background gives her an edge in a market desperately needing disruption.
