1 clever cupboards “Living in an apartment means that I am constantly looking for ways to magically increase my storage space, so having a stacked situation surrounded by custom joinery to house the bulkiest of household items – towels and sheets – would be a dream come true.” KATE HASSETT, DEPUTY EDITOR 2 charging station “I love my cordless vacuum, but finding an out-of-the-way spot to charge it was challenging. I ended up installing the charging station in my broom cupboard so it’s hidden yet still accessible. Design tip: build your broom cupboard next to your appliance hub for easy access to a power supply.” KATE LINCOLN, STYLIST 3 concealed hamper joinery “I have two young kids so there is always washing piling up.

While the design world has always held a flame for the power of red and its ability to evoke passion, energy, and a pop of joy across an array of interior applications, its widespread use had largely been reserved for those with a natural confidence for all things bold. But, when US interior designer Taylor Simon coined The Unexpected Red Theory on TikTok earlier this year, the internet’s heart was set aflutter, sparking a rouge revolution that saw the polarising colour re-enter the design vernacular in a big way. The rule, according to Taylor, suggests that inserting something red – big or small – into a room where it otherwise wouldn’t belong, can instantly elevate a space. Arguably, this classic design device has always existed, yet its popular embrace is…

cheat sheet Who lives here Miriam McWilliam and her husband, Hamish, with their children: Atlas, four, and Sunday, two; plus a 13-year-old cavoodle. Style of home A bland brick 1990s home that’s now a vision of organic Japanese-style calm. Location Blackwood in Victoria, on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung people. Ten months of planning kicked off in early 2022, followed by a four-month renovation. Over many catch-ups, interior designer Caitlin Perry of Setsquare Studio and graphic designer Miriam McWilliam of Studio Mimi Moon reimagined Miriam’s 1990s-era brick home in Blackwood, an hour north-west of Melbourne. The creative friends and neighbours are relative newcomers to the pristine area sandwiched between the Wombat State Forest and Lerderderg State Park, with Caitlin arriving five years…

all sorted The owners of this home asked for as much storage as possible in their laundry. Interior architecture studio Danielle Victoria Design was tasked with the design and thoroughly delivered. Some of the standout elements include easy-to-reach open shelving, overhead cupboards to the ceiling, and a cleaning-agent extension under the butler’s sink (which is great for soaking clothes).

What does your joinery say about you? Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, wardrobes, desks and built-in storage are a big-ticket part of any renovation, so don’t miss the opportunity to express your style through colour, texture, pattern and profile. As iconic furniture designer Charles Eames said: “The details are not the details. They make the design.” MATERIALS & BUDGET Let’s get it out of the way upfront: joinery can be expensive, and custom joinery, particularly so. “Joinery is one of the biggest cost elements within a renovation,” says Sydneybased interior designer Gemma Gillett of Studio Gemma and author of The Ultimate Joinery Finishes Guide. “As a rule of thumb, I allow 10 per cent of the total budget for it.” In terms of the basic materials, one of the most cost-effective…

COASTAL SHIFT How renovating can change the program + THE BRIEF Previously a small, outdated space with a lack of usable bench space and almost no storage, this renovated laundry is now fresh, modern and easy to use. Interior designer Tess Mathews of TM Design Studio says the owners, a retired couple living on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, wanted a practical wash zone that effortlessly suited their coastal aesthetic. “It was important for the laundry to connect nicely to other areas of the home,” says Tess. + THE DETAILS Tess used a textured, neutral palette featuring materials emulating the home’s seaside surrounds. “Given that it’s a smaller space, we focused on introducing softer finishes to avoid overpowering the room with anything too bold or dominant,” she says. Hero materials include V-groove…

1 floor it Anticipating the day when they downsize from their spacious family home into this one-bedroom South Yarra apartment, Ange and Bruce decided to renovate. It sits on the sunny third floor of a beautiful old building designed by interwar architect Arthur Plaistid and built in 1938. The team at Brave New Eco took on the renovation (studio coordinator Deborah Lacey is pictured), keeping some key features, such as the wonderful checkerboard tiles. “They were in perfectly good condition and we quite liked the pattern. It plays well with the glass-brick windows,” says design director Megan Norgate. 2 clear the way Before they began, a dining table stood against a blank wall in this space, blocking the walkway in and out of the apartment. This was replaced with a…
