How many times have we encouraged you guys to use colour? And how many times have you actually done it? Not often enough. We need to talk. What I’d really like to know is what’s actually holding you back? Is it the fear that you may not like it and you’re stuck with it? Or is it just that you like a blank, relaxing canvas to live in? Don’t worry. Just like your parents when you were young, I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. Luckily, in this issue, we’ve found a whole batch of homes and products that will help you embrace your inner bowerbird… and if blue isn’t your thing, we have a bunch of alternatives. For those who are really genuinely trying to incorporate more colour, we have…

From deep in Germany’s Bavaria comes Dante Goods And Bads, the brainchild of artist Aylin Langreuter and industrial designer Christophe de la Fontaine.Their ‘Minima Moralia’ room divider of powder-coated aluminum and pleated fabric, now available at Domo, typifies the duo’s love of the material world. Stand it zig-zagged, straight or curved – this piece consists of as many 180cm x 80cm modules as you like and deftly crosses the bridge between a functional everyday item and the truly extraordinary. ‘Minima Moralia’ room divider in Bordeaux, POA, Domo, domo.com.au.…

Sistawood placemat set DESIGNERS: Patricia Sporle & Jacqui Anderson Based in the small town of Nagambie in rural Victoria, sisters Patricia and Jacqui started their brand two years ago in the backyard shed. “With sawdust in our hair and wood shavings in our boots, we developed a whole new appreciation for power tools,” says Patricia. “We started with succulent planters, our original product. We received some requests for custom placemats and decided to start a tableware range.” Made from marine-grade plywood and a two-part resin coating, each set is made to order. “It takes three weeks for the resin to completely cure,” she says. “Anyone who works with resin will know this stuff ain’t easy!” Each placemat set is lightly sanded, taped, hand-painted, sanded again, sealed with resin and finished…

THE ORIGINAL George Nelson ‘Swag Leg’ desk for Herman Miller The form: A small walnut desk with tapered chrome legs and coloured divider panels. What makes it special: The ‘Swag Leg’ desk was originally named after the technique that produces the desk’s tapered, tubular steel legs, which lend a beautiful delicacy to the design. Now known simply as the ‘Nelson’ desk, it was a part of a series of objects designed by Herman Miller’s director of design, George Nelson, in the late 1950s that featured the same style of refined tapering leg. Nelson introduced several key figures of 20th century design to Herman Miller – Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard – during his tenure as director of design (that lasted until 1972) but was an extremely…

frankly, fantastic Organic shades and understated elegance result in reno magic As soon as The Block favourites Dea and Darren Jolly spotted ‘Franklin’ cottage on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, they realised the run-down 1890s shack was the renovation project that would test their skill… and capture their hearts. In this space, the earthy tones of a Harbro Furniture sofa, Maison Est coffee table and The Foraged Co wall hanging from Frey play against a textured wall in rich Dulux Winter Sea.Turn the page to see more of this home.…

The houses of Lana’s and Justin’s childhoods well and truly shaped their sense of style, so when they found the perfect block of land for their young family, just a few minutes from the beach, they knew exactly what kind of home they’d build on it. Starting with a splash of Palm Springs chic with pops of pastels and laid-back glamour, the drawing board was bursting with ideas long before the block was settled.“There were a few non-negotiables to get the look right,” says Lana.“I knew exactly what I wanted and had lots of tear sheets for reference - a flat roof line, exposed brickwork, clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows.” Armed with a design she’d nutted out with the help of her sister, Lana tasked architect Scott Carpenter with refining…

When architects Yun Nie Chong (from Nie + Co Architects) and Patrick Kosky stumbled across a vacant 250-square-metre block in the heart of Western Australia’s Fremantle area, they weren’t concerned with its small size. The husband and wife, along with their two young daughters, already lived in the port precinct and loved its grungy, industrial vibe. Rather than seeing limitations in the small block, they saw an opportunity to turn it into a spacious family home. The home was only half inspired by the site’s size. Fremantle’s unique flavour – with its warehouses, workers’ cottages and maritime infrastructure – was equally influential. “We’ve used a lot of recycled brick and tin,” says Patrick, with Yun Nie adding, “We quite like raw material, too, so we added timber to create warmth…

the problem: damp floors The signs: Mould growth, timber decay and a musty smell. The cause: Poor subfloor ventilation, water pooling under the house, blocked vents. The solution: “First, clear the subfloor of any leaves or rubbish, unblock any vents that may be covered, and check your gutters to make sure water isn’t pooling under the house,” says David Lakes, director and builder at Lochbuild (lochbuild.com.au). “Then use a moisture meter, or ask an expert with experience in the sort of home you live in for advice.” In a best case scenario, dehumidifiers or low voltage damp rods in wardrobes can improve the damp, suggests David. If this isn’t enough, subfloor ventilation such as fans can help. “Extra airflow under your property will help – but not fix – a…

The deal: Carpet seems to be falling behind in the style stakes as timber and concrete flooring take the lead, but is it still the best option in the bedroom? The pros: In terms of comfort, wall-to-wall carpet in a sleeping zone can’t be beaten. When it comes to crawling babies and toddlers learning to walk, carpet makes for a much softer landing. It also absorbs sound, which is essential for a peaceful night’s sleep. The cons: Carpet can be easily stained by spills and dirty footwear, and often requires a high level of maintenance with regular vacuuming and deep cleaning. Those with allergies should consider whether carpet is the right choice for them, as it tends to be more susceptible to dust mites and mould. The verdict: Yay! Carpet…

Q Hi Peter, I’m running out of room! I’m holding on to lots of things I’ve inherited, things I’ve been given, and things that remind me of a certain time in my life. I know it’s foolish to keep a baby blanket, but how do you just throw that in the rubbish? Holley, Brighton, SA A This is probably the most common type of clutter I see. ‘Memory Clutter’ is found in piles in people’s spare bedrooms and garages. These things tend to remind you of a person, a place or a significant time in your life. The fear is that if you let go of the thing, you’ll lose the memory. Some people seem able to deal with the loss without too much pain. They can toss the…

monochrome with colour A small dose of colour can create a focal point or accentuate those small details Nothing says ‘welcome home’ quite like an eye-catching door with a colour you’ve painstakingly chosen to convey your personal style. Whether you choose a vibrant aqua or a pleasingly pretty pink, it immediately sets the tone for the rest of your home. Make sure the remainder of your scheme is neutral to help this burst of colour to stand out, and keep it to a small but strong element. Kerb appeal is one thing, but don’t forget to consider the back of your home, too, which may need a different treatment to what you have at the front. Look to the existing natural and man-made elements such as decking, fencing and plantings.…

QI’m building a new house on the coast. Do you have any tips to help me choose the right windows? Dave, via Facebook “If you live on the coast, it’s really important to specify windows that are resistant to the elements,” says Christine Evans, director of marketing at Stegbar (stegbar.com.au). “This means making sure they meet wind and water ratings and choosing the right materials. Coastal-rated powder-coated aluminium is a strong and durable finish. Don’t forget, the same considerations should apply to your hardware, too. In terms of style, there are some interesting options, including sashless windows, which deliver the look of fixed glass but open to let air through. Another way to benefit from the sea breeze is to integrate louvres. Stegbar’s Alumiere range of windows are airtight, watertight…

Finding Franklin might sound like the title of a movie but it’s actually a moment interior designer Dea Jolly says is one of her happiest. Having recently renovated and sold a property in Melbourne’s east, Dea and her husband Darren, a builder, had only just begun hunting for a new project when they discovered the ramshackle cottage ‘Franklin’ on the shores of Sorrento. “We instantly started to visualise spending time here, leaving the city behind and enjoying summers on the beach with our girls,” says Dea.“We knew we had to have this property – it was in the perfect location, within walking distance to everything, and had such beautiful period features.We fell in love with it.” No strangers to the coastline’s popularity, nor the enormity of the renovation required in…

the story so far Airena and her husband Chris purchased this three-bedroom 1970s home on a 700-square-metre block at Davidson in Sydney’s Northern Beaches 10 years ago. They share it with their children, Hanna, 12, and Jamie, 10. “We love this house and its beautiful bush setting,” says Airena. “But since the day we moved in, we’ve been talking about how we can improve it. After 10 years, the kids are about to become teenagers and we’re finally on the brink of renovations.” The couple’s main priority is to give the children more space by knocking their two small bedrooms into one and creating a new master suite. “We have some ideas but they’re not locked in,” says Airena. “We’d love some advice to see if we’re on the right…

Good coffee is now considered a basic right for those of us lucky enough to call Australia home. Whether you’re happy to play barista to get your perfect brew or would rather pop in a pod, there’s a coffee machine to suit you. “The basic principle for making espresso coffee is to pump hot water at pressure through freshly ground coffee,” says Charlie Monteleone from Jetblack Espresso (jetblackespresso.com.au). The variables affecting the outcome are the heat and pressure of the water, and the freshness and quality of the coffee – but there are also the day-to-day human variables of time, effort and cost that will affect your decision. Each kind of machine has different strengths, but all of them can save you money on takeaway coffee. “My customers usually work…

The terrace we’ve just rented is renovated – except for the bathroom, which has red floor tiles, gold taps and a sort of black glass chandelier thing. We love the rest of the house and are planning to stay for at least a year, but is there anything we can do to make the bathroom less intense? Julia, Kirribilli, NSW You would think, with a PhD in bathroom centre psychology, I could name the particular pathology that causes an otherwise-sane person, browsing for tiles, to bypass the classic marbles, the moody greys and smart off-white subways in favour of a vicious primary.Yet here I find myself ferociously Googling ‘prefrontal cortex decision making 12-square-metres fire-engine red’ with no result. What I do know is that no-one in possession of their faculties…

 Can you tell us a bit about yourself? I’m a proud home baker, cookbook author and cake teacher. I was a high school teacher until 2015, when social media completely caught me by surprise and tempted me to leap into what I like to call ‘The Cake Life’. You recently released an incredible pop-up book titled Greatest Hits – The Pop Edition. What has the response been like? I share my passion by teaching workshops, hosting cake demonstrations and sharing recipes, ideas and tips online. Self-publishing and sharing the process of it with others seemed like a natural progression. I also love pop-up books and design, so I knew I had to work on something that was truly unique to the genre of traditional cookbooks. The response has been incredible…

Our little world of Australian design and designers is screaming forward at breakneck speed. We live in a unique and isolated country – and, as such, our designers, artists and artisans are creating pieces that are singularly Australian, from timber, ceramics and lighting to soft textiles and artworks. While it’s sometimes true that originality costs us a bit more, good design isn’t always expensive. Many of us love the thought of supporting Australian designers but cheaper knock offs can easily make their way into our homes as they are just that – the cheaper option. Sadly, they often don’t last, so the best option is to buy once and buy well. Good design doesn’t go out of style. It just stays… good. Let’s have a look at my favourite muses…

What makes a home? In many ways, homes embody how we live and see ourselves. And these spaces evolve when we focus on what makes us happy. When we create a place that meets our needs on many levels and expresses our character, we can enrich our lives. For this book, I’ve travelled across four continents and stepped inside more than 20 residences to see if there is some universality to the idea of home and what makes us happy in our spaces. These homes shines a light on what happens when we focus on what we value – we can create our best spaces. curated style There’s a palpable energy in the home of Simone McEwan and Patrik Bergh. Part of it relates to their two young, active boys,…

When Vanessa Williams purchased a 1960s shack on a large Mornington Peninsula bush block a decade ago, she could never have imagined the incarnations the home, and her life, would have. At the time, owning a beach house weekender offered the fashion designer, interior enthusiast and self-confessed romantic the escape she craved from her fast-paced city life. One weekend,Vanessa’s life took an unexpected turn. Out of the blue, a long-lost flame from almost three decades ago phoned. Hours spent chatting sparked a wave of emotions – and just six days after reconnecting, the couple was engaged. Four months on,Vanessa and musician Steve Williams were married, and soon afterwards they embarked upon a beach house renovation.“My new life with Steve inspired me to start it, as I wanted us to have…

Dedicated followers of fashion will know all about ‘French-girl’ style, that artful mix of high and low thrown together in a seemingly effortless way to produce a result that’s individual but also aspirational and, just possibly, achievable. The Paris apartment of Cécile Figuette, founder and owner of bespoke French wallpaper business Bien Fait, is a lesson in the same principles. Cécile and her Canadian-born husband Bruce started with good bones – a two-storey loft apartment in a former factory. “My husband found this apartment online on Le Bon Coin, which is the French equivalent of Craigslist, and we fell in love at first sight,” says Cécile.“We loved the high ceilings and huge windows, and also the great industrial floors and amazing courtyard.” Not much renovation was required, just the addition…

1. the knock-through Airena has plans to bring the doorway of what will become Hanna’s room out further onto the landing and make the linen cupboard space part of the new room. Instead, I’d suggest simply blocking up the existing doorway to the front bedroom and using the other doorway as the access point for the new room. That way they don’t lose the valuable storage and can save money on sorting out the flooring and architraves. There are no electrics on the party wall between these two rooms and it’s not load-bearing, so it will be easy to remove. I’d actually like to get a mallet and start right now. 2. the fit-out The best thing about Hanna’s new bedroom is the view. You can see out to the…

simply good food Most of us view French cooking as the ultimate in complicated techniques, featuring hard-to-find ingredients and challenging flavour profiles. Chef Stéphane Reynaud is here to turn that perception on its head in his latest cookbook, One Knife, One Pot, One Dish.
