The Dehumidifier Diaries with Oliver: Design-led comfort for everyday living
“Hey Pro Breeze, welcome to the flat. Come and have a little mooch around.”
For this episode of The Dehumidifier Diaries, we sat down with Oliver Hooson to learn how he uses Pro Breeze products in a home where everything has to work hard, look good, and earn its place.
Oliver’s flat is inspired by café design: warm, considered, full of character, and built around how the space is actually used day to day. From renovation drying to laundry, summer airflow and iced coffee, his approach is simple: choose products that solve practical problems without disrupting the feel of the home.
Here’s what Oliver shared.
The renovation product that became an everyday essential
Oliver first brought a dehumidifier into the flat during the renovation. Like many people, he expected it to help with a specific project, but it quickly proved useful far beyond that.
“We did get the dehumidifier for the renovation and then it kind of just earned its place in the house every single day.”
That’s the part we hear often at Pro Breeze. A dehumidifier may start as a solution for one problem, but once it’s part of your routine, it can become one of the most useful tools in the home.
For Oliver, the biggest everyday benefit is laundry. He uses the OmniDry 20L Quiet Dehumidifier to help dry clothes efficiently in the back room, keeping laundry days practical and contained.
“It’s kind of the little champion of our back room.”
From Pro Breeze: why it helps
When clothes dry indoors, moisture leaves the fabric and enters the air. If that moisture stays in the room, drying can take longer and the space can start to feel damp or heavy. A dehumidifier helps by pulling excess moisture from the air, supporting faster indoor drying and a fresher-feeling room.
Oliver says he can get through “two washes in a day” with the help of his dehumidifier, a clear example of how the right product can make a real home routine feel easier.
Better airflow for a more liveable flat
In summer, Oliver turns to the AirFlo Plus 44 Hybrid Pedestal Fan to keep air moving through the flat.
He describes newer pedestal fans as a “game changer” and even “a cheat code” for creating better airflow at home. With oscillation helping move air through the space, the flat feels more liveable when temperatures rise.
“We use that getting the flow of air in the flat… so that we have a breeze that goes through.”
From Pro Breeze: why airflow matters
Cooling is not just about pointing a fan at one spot. Good airflow helps move air around the room, making the space feel fresher and easier to spend time in. For flats and open-plan spaces, flexible airflow can make a real difference to everyday comfort, especially when the weather is warm and still.
The countertop ice maker built for summer rituals
Oliver’s flat has plenty of café-inspired details, including “crazy over the top coffee equipment.” But there’s one practical challenge: he doesn’t have a freezer.
His solution is the Pro Breeze Countertop Ice Cube Maker.
“We don’t have a freezer in this house, but what we do have is a countertop ice maker.”
For Oliver, it has one clear purpose: iced coffee in summer. It’s simple, compact, and fits into the way he already uses the space.
From Pro Breeze: small product, clear purpose
The best home solutions are the ones that make everyday routines easier. Whether it’s drying laundry, moving air through a flat, or making ice without a freezer, the point is the same: practical products that fit your life, not the other way around.
Products that perform, and look good on display
Oliver’s final takeaway is one that matters in design-led homes: performance is essential, but appearance matters too.
“Everything we purchase in this flat needs to be high quality and perform year on year.”
He also points out that Pro Breeze products “look good on display”, the part he calls “the cherry on top.”
That balance sits at the heart of Pro Breeze: useful products that solve real home problems, with simple design that feels easy to live with.
Oliver’s takeaway: practical comfort, designed for real homes
Oliver’s episode shows how air treatment and home comfort products can quietly improve everyday routines: laundry that dries faster, airflow that makes a flat more liveable, and ice ready for summer coffee without needing a freezer.
