This year, the big news in bathrooms is smart technology, colour, and the concept of sanctuary. It’s all the woo-woo, good-vibes stuff that we really leaned into – calming colour palettes with pastel basins and baths, delicious earthy tiles, luscious bathroom plants (see the bathroom special on page 93 and indoor plant trends on page 124), and all the high-technology product that transforms a bathroom space into a retreat. Think health-giving innovations such as infrared saunas, steam showers and tricky techy toilets that can warm you, talk to you and even play your favourite song. And if you hadn’t heard... the bidet is back! While it might seem like an odd design throwback at first, on closer inspection it is actually a really clever, hygienic and sustainable shift, especially if…

CHEAT SHEET Who lives here Erin and Julian, who work in sports media and TV production, with their daughters — Mackinley (below), two, and Murphy, nearly one — and pet dogs: Nala, a groodle, and Maple, a mini retriever. Style of home A 1950s weatherboard house with a large contemporary extension. Location Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs, traditional land of the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin nation. After purchasing in 2019, the couple moved into the backyard bungalow and began the planning phase. Work commenced in May 2021 and was completed that November. Choosing a fireplace over an engagement ring takes a highly dedicated renovator, and that’s exactly what Erin did in a quest to create the perfect family home with her partner, Julian. Yet it was her ability to…

While bathrooms may have had a glamorous update recently (think marble, bespoke vanities and superluxe tapware), it’s important not to forget that they are also functional spaces – where we clean ourselves, do our make-up and, occasionally, relax. It is time to highlight the often-ignored, more functional (yet no less essential) aspects of good bathroom design. Because, like all wet areas, bathrooms are subjected to special regulations and requirements. When one or more of those goes awry, things can go horribly wrong. Anyone who has experienced a foggy bathroom, a slow-draining sink or a leaky shower will know how important it is to make sure the details are covered, and the practicalities are sorted. FLOOR SHOW The humble floor drain has had a major makeover in recent years, especially since…

1 PICTURE WINDOWS The outlook was a large drawcard for the owners of this home, who planned to put down roots here with their two young children. “They were in love with the view of the golf course,” says Kitty Lee, whose company did the architecture and interior design with construction by Renotech Building. A new spotted-gum deck with a roof overhead allows the family to spend plenty of time outside at the large dining setting, which was a second-hand find. Old doors were replaced with designs that extend all the way to the ceiling, opening the vista to be enjoyed from the King Living ‘Fleur’ sofa in Amalfi Natural. 2 HOMEWORK HUB An awkward corner space has been filled with a floating Victorian-ash desk. “It was designed for the…

cheat sheet Who lived here Anthony Maiolo, director of bespoke residential design studio Luxitecture, and his partner, Cecilia. Style of home A two-storey, four-bedroom California bungalow with a reimagined interior. Location Sydney’s inner west, on land traditionally owned by the Wangal people. The renovation began in February 2023 and was completed in August of that year. Designers don’t often have themselves as a client. But for Anthony Maiolo, director of Sydney architectural practice Luxitecture, it was the scenario he’d long been preparing for. The project was the renewal of his home, a 1930s California bungalow in the city’s inner-west. The partially renovated two-level property, containing two bedrooms downstairs and a further two above, was purchased in 2018. For the next five years, Anthony lived in the home as it was…

Powder rooms are unique spaces. Unlike other, more function-focused, bathrooms, guest loos can be wonderfully indulgent. Case in point is this stunning bathroom by Sydney’s Naz Design in collaboration with Nadine K Design and Scopeview Projects. They chose a striking piece of black-veined New York marble for the vanity and cantilevered it into a corner, cleverly creating a feeling of weightlessness with a fairly monumental element.

TWILIGHT ZONE When reconfiguring the bathroom of this two-bedroom apartment in Victoria, interior designer Rebecca Jansma extended the previously dim room to include the clients’ must-haves: a generous open shower and soaking tub, with space to spare. A niche was carved out to cleverly house the expansive vanity, with a skylight and high window providing natural light that bounces off the moody material palette and highlights the tonal spectrum of the Dante wall tiles from Byzantine Design. The rich terrazzo floor tiles, speckled with flecks of caramel, slate and taupe, add warmth to the cooler scheme, creating a soothing, spa-like experience. rebeccajansma.com.au 1 Sans [ceuticals] ‘PH Perfect’ body + hand wash, $53 for 500ml, Mecca. 2 Mineral crystalline silica-free surface in Raven, from $650 per sq m, Caesarstone. 3 Terra…

Landscape designer Adam Robinson describes this captivating courtyard in Sydney’s east as “the warm face of minimalism”. Packed with striking paradoxes, his recent project is streamlined and elegant, simple and ornate, modern and traditional, all at the same time. The design respects its past while embracing its future. In achieving the former, it helped to have a hunky and handsome original sandstone wall as a starting point – and Adam missed no opportunity in playing that up to the full. When the owner, a high-powered professional and mum with a young son, bought the generous terrace in 2020, it bore the hallmarks of a 1980s renovation, the plain and unremarkable courtyard boasting terracotta tiles and brick walls true to the decade. Again reflecting that era, the house was painted butter…

To many, merino wool seems oh-so-Australian, but it’s taken the creativity and nous of a New York marketing specialist to create world-first superfine merino sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers. Canadian-born Indi McCullough says the idea for luxe merino-wool bed linen first popped up while she was shopping in New York. “I was looking for linen at Bloomingdales with my husband [Stuart McCullough, former MD of The Woolmark Company] and he said, ‘It’s interesting that Americans don’t sleep surrounded by wool.’ I immediately baulked at that as I thought of wool heritage blanket brands that are itchy, scratchy and too hot. He explained that wool is breathable and thermoregulating, which is super important for good-quality sleep. I later also learned it can be ultra luxurious and supremely soft against the skin…

INSPIRING IDEAS 1Hipwell Haus, Tim Neve For interior stylist Tim Neve, embarking on the ambitious renovation of a 100-year-old Art Deco warehouse meant having the freedom to push some creative limits. “I always say that strong selections can work well in small spaces, so I took my own advice, adding colour, texture and pattern throughout – even on the ceiling!” 2 Bredablick, Robson Rak Clever design tricks and creative thinking transformed this under-stair area into a luxurious retreat for the senses. It’s small on scale but big on style. “We used marble, mirrors, and a very ‘busy’ wallpaper to create the illusion of a much larger space,” shares Kathryn Robson, principal architect at Robson Rak. “We also recessed the vanity into the wall of an adjacent room to form a…
