Yes it can be interpreted in many different ways however it heavily aimed at a female middle class audience.
- Family orientated would appeal to possible stay at home mums
- Has an author of a cookery book as part of the panel
- Aimed at a more educated audience through the use of big words, discussions on politics, feminism and the home ('democratisation', 'antithesis', 'egalitarian')
- Panellists enjoy craft which is a typical female activity
- Discusses individuality and personality- the way people are overtaken by Ikea and commercialised images of the ideal home
- Seems to express the need for comfort, striving for perfection
- A sense of inclusivity between individuals and the feeling of how you bring each other together
- Not a lot of focus on strong, feminist perspectives but more about the way that women had been expected to do in the past and still are today
