T
he start of a new year in the interior design world is always an exciting time. There are new trends emerging, and those in the know – the experts – share their thoughts and predictions. Perhaps the biggest statement of all is the release of Pantone’s Colour of the Year. Each December, as the design world waits with bated breath, the colour authority releases its selection. This colour sets the direction for not only interior styling, but fashion and makeup. Designers respond with new products – occasional chairs, sofas, artwork, wallpaper – all in this chosen hue. Coral Living has been selected as the colour of 2019 and we love it. It’s vibrant, lively and looks terrific when used sparingly throughout the home. In this month’s cover story we focus on the interior design portion of a home renovation. After all, the styling is almost as important as the build itself. Also in this edition we have the 2019 trends in bathrooms and kitchens, as well as tips and the latest in television technology. Enjoy, and happy renovating.

COVER STORY //
2019: WHAT TO EXPECT Styling your home can be a daunting task. Colours, flooring materials, furnishings, the list is endless. Our suggestion is to begin with the right research. Find out what works, what you like and what it costs and go from there. To get you on the right track, we’ve compiled some of the top interior design trends the experts are predicting for the 12 months ahead. Living Coral The interior design world waits with bated breath ahead of each new year for the Pantone Colour Institute to announce its colour of the year. And, 2019 has got off to a vibrant start with Living Coral the chosen hue. Described as a “natural, playful shade [that] evokes a sense of comfort and buoyancy”, the striking hue should be used sparingly in the home to add pops of colour.
FROM THE EXPERTS Interior stylist Melissa Gullifer from Focus on Furniture shares her key interior trends for 2019. 1. Colours Matte black seems to be moving from fashion to our interiors and we love it! Expect to see bold, high-contrast furniture designs like luxurious marble with black steel. Or black leather with deep brown timbers. Move over rose gold, traditional metallic gold is going to make a major comeback in 2019, with dark gold, bright gold being paired with raw natural finishes. Metallic finishes will add the ooh la la back into your interior. 2. Sustainability With the anti-waste movement now in full swing, Australians are more conscious than ever of the war on waste. Retail companies are also taking charge and looking for new ways to improve their environmental processes. We have seen a massive trend towards customers looking for companies who are taking this seriously. 3. Earthy tones and greens Timber finishes are the perfect way to let the outdoors in and feel a little summery all-year round. Indoor plants are already here and they’re not going anywhere. With so many retail outlets stocking up on artificial plants that look like the real thing, it’s no wonder we’re buying up (and the best part is we don’t need to worry about watering them)!

GLOBAL INSIGHTS Haymes Paint colour and concept manager Wendy Rennie recently attended the Interior Lifestyle Living international trade fair in Tokyo. The event showcases upcoming lifestyle trends and concepts in the interior design field from around the world. Here are her key observations from her time in Japan.
TEXTURE Texture was all-encompassing in Japan, with sophisticated applications in design from small to large scale projects. There was a focus on ensuring textures weren’t clean or perfect, with the beauty in the imperfection. Variations I observed included texture in paper screens, woven papers, quilted upholstery, ribbed carpeting, linen and incredible textured applications for walls using layering to create a tactile, bespoke space.
• Marble, Granite and Reconstituted Stone • Kitchen and Vanity Tops • Domestic and Commercial Projects + MUCH MORE.

COLOUR There is a unique, subtle use of colour in Japan. It’s part of the fabric of the country and is blended with texture and materials to create its own aesthetic. Accents of colour are often used against white to create a striking contrast that includes the use of green and earthy tones found in the natural landscape and floral colours such as pink and lavender. These colour combinations create a serene beauty that would fit well in Australian interiors and lifestyle s. lifestyles.
Coral Serenade ade
MATERIALS Wood was showcased in many diverse forms from light to dark. There was a lot more light wood used, which was quite a contrast from Milan where dark wood was a focus. The use of wood in furniture exhibits simplicity in design that is effortless and refined.

It’s a symbol of relaxation and sophistication and is a surefire feature piece. Of course, they are also more expensive, so consider your budget before falling in love with this signature tub.

1. Modular kitchens First there were modular sofas with the ability to change the pieces to suit your needs, now we will see more of a focus on flexible kitchens. With a moveable layout, these kitchens can be adapted on a daily basis to suit the tasks at hand. Mono workstations in varying sizes will give you a new sense of freedom.
2. Integrated appliances In this uber-modern approach to design, appliances are no longer taking centre stage in the kitchen. Instead, refrigerators, dishwashers and other kitchen staples will be integrated into the overall design with large cabinets and doors concealing the pieces.

PRODUCT ALERT With technology improving day by day, it’s no surprise that our kitchens are set to become smarter. The CES 2019, which was held in Las Vegas in January, unveiled an array of smart tech gadgets including the KitchenAid Smart Oven+. This gadget of course comes with ovenpowered attachments for grilling, baking and steaming. The oven itself is available as a single, double or combination model and uses its Even-Heat True Convection design for even cooking. For updates visit kitchenaid.com.au.
3. Black kitchens, particularly in matte materials Sleek, sophisticated, simple. These three words sum up this style where traditional gloss-look and light-coloured cabinets and bench tops will be replaced with dark matte finishes. Tapware and appliances are now also available to suit the style.
4. Smart storage Integrated and hidden cabinetry will be a popular choice as we go forward. Smarter storage options will be a vital focus of kitchen design.

The new lookan

Open design In days gone by having a bath tub take centre stage of your master suite may have seemed a little odd. However, open concept bathrooms are quickly gaining momentum and we are sure to see this style more frequently in renovations and new builds.
Statement tiling Who doesn’t love a beautiful work of art? This year, we will see tiled feature walls take over our bathrooms. Mosaic, subway, herringbone and artisan tiles in all sizes and colours are clear winners. The look works particularly well in bringing style to a powder room.
Coloured tapware Coloured tapware has been starring in bathrooms for some time now and the trend is going nowhere anytime soon. Picks for 2019 include gun-metal grey, brass, brushed nickel, copper and matte black. Oldfashioned tapware and exposed plumbing is also expected to make a huge comeback.

Statement basins Marble, concrete, terrazzo and pastel pink – we’ll find all of these colours and materials represented in bathrooms this year. The traditional white basin is making way for something a little more stylish and we love the look.

When opting for a coloured basin be sure to let it shine as the feature piece in your bathroom.

tip DID YOU KNOW?
HOW TO DO MEDITERRANEAN STYLE RIGHT We have all admired the images – azure blue water, clear skies and white on white. Who wouldn’t want to live there? We are, of course, talking about those gorgeous Mediterranean villas, which ooze warmth, style and traditional influences. Thankfully, with the right splash of paint, vibrant touches of blue and the right eye for detail, you can create your own Greek paradise at home.
Blue on blue ue Inspired by the work of Sicilian artisans, tisans the h Zilly Zillya cushion features a tiled pattern. With striped simplicity, the Ometepe cushion is the perfect accompaniment. Both are from Kas Australia. Visit the website for local stockists.
While we love the Greek Islands interpretation of Mediterranean design, the concept also encompasses the influences of many southern European countries such as Italy and Spain. It also takes in northern African countries including Egypt and Morocco. Each territory brings its own individual touch to the look.
Cool ceramic This pretty ceramic vase with its subtle colours and interesting texture will sit pretty on an indoor or outdoor table or shelf. It’s from Domayne.
Finding the right balance between old and new, charm and seduction, is the key to perfecting the style.
WE LOVE! The Island Lantern in blue is from Domayne.

TIPS //
Rug up In the market for a floor rug? Do your research and be prepared to invest. A handmade Persian rug will last a lifetime. However, if the budget doesn’t stretch that far, opt for an affordable patterned rug that you can replace down the track.
Kitchen consideration You can never have too much lighting in a kitchen, but the key is to installing smart and effective lights. LEDs are the best option to prevent unwanted shadows as you work. Strip lighting is also useful under overhead cupboards.

Slow down Who doesn’t love a good vase or two? Keep in mind that you don’t want to end up with more décor accents than you need, or pieces that clash entirely. Once you have finished your renovation project, take your time to plan the interior elements. This way your look will come together nicely and feel more meaningful.

EXPERT ADVICE //
HOME IMPROVEMENT GOALS
D Home talk with Emilia Johnston Emilia Johnston is the owner of Coast Store, 67 The Esplanade, Cotton Tree Visit coaststore.com.au
id you start this year with good intentions to improve your health, your career, your lifestyle and possibly your home? Well, the new year is now a month in and February is a good time to check how your improvement goals are going to ensure you stay on track. When it comes to improving your home, the start of a new year is also the perfect time to complete a survey of what you’d like to rectify around the house during the year. Preparing a list is a good way to identify all the improvements you feel your home needs, prioritise them and then work out a plan to achieve them within your budget. A household typically requires organisational and repair improvements. Organisational improvements will streamline processes in the home. For instance, do your kids just dump their
school bags anywhere? Establishing a set spot for school bags, uniforms and homework paraphernalia to accumulate would be an organisational improvement. Repair improvements might include fixing hinges that are loose or replacing rotten fence palings. Working through a checklist like the one below is a good way to ensure you achieve your home improvement organisational or repair goals this year: Conduct an inspection – Walk around the whole house with a note pad, pen and camera. Look for loose floorboards, leaking windows, flaking grout, varnish that needs sanding, paintwork problems, squeaking hinges, leaking taps, cracks, any furniture repairs needed, loose door hinges, etc. Repair what you can and then with the photos you’ve taken, you can obtain quotes from contractors to repair the rest.
Pre-book servicing appointments – Write in your diary your yearly maintenance jobs – aircon servicing, pest control, pool checks, house wash, smoke detector checks, upholstery or carpet cleaning. If these are pre-booked and in your diary,

they will actually be undertaken during the year. Review your appliances – Identify what appliances you might want to replace during the year and begin researching the best product replacements by looking at Choice and accruing cost comparisons. February is a great time to negotiate a good price for any improvements needed, as retail is at its slowest. Update your home inventory – For insurance purposes, it helps to have an updated list of your home contents in case a claim is necessary during the year. Taking a video inventory is an easy way of recording what is in the home. Annoyance list – Walk through the home and identify what annoys you about different areas in the household. Is there no central spot for bags to accumulate? Does everything end up in a pile on the kitchen bench? Think about your home and how the household runs. Can you put
a basket near the garage door for school bags? Put a tray with all the homework paraphernalia near the kitchen table? Find a spot for all the junk on the kitchen bench? A good rule of thumb is to identify a place for everything – everything should have a place that it belongs in. If there isn’t one, create a permanent home for it and make sure everyone knows where everything belongs. Rearrange furniture/accents – Tired of the same old, same old? Don’t spend money – simply rearrange things. Can that armchair be swapped with one in the study? Rework the pictures on the walls and take all your home accents off their shelves and rearrange them. Reorganise files – Each year we can eradicate a year of tax files that are being kept. Is there any other old paperwork being kept unnecessarily for policies or bank accounts no longer owned? Go through your warranties folder and

that you can allocate a budget towards them.
Garden to-do list – Order mulch delivery and/or top soil if the garden needs top dressing. It’s easy to get to the end of the year and realise these tiresome but necessary jobs haven’t been done.
A year goes by fast and it is always frustrating to get to the end of the year realising that the pest inspections haven’t been done, that leaking tap is still leaking, and your renos didn’t start. Hopefully this short checklist will help you get back on track with achieving your home maintenance and improvement goals in 2019.

EXPERT ADVICE //
ON-TREND – exteriors for 2019 It’s not so much about bringing the outdoors in, let’s take the indoors out!
A
Cassandra Fenaughty is a landscape architect with more than 20 years’ experience. She’s the founder and owner of an innovative new renovation design consultancy, creating photo-real renovation concepts for clients looking to visualise their dream renovation before it begins. For more visit cassandrafenaughty.com.
ll the talk in 2018 was bringing the outdoors into our internal spaces, but 2019 will see many renovators taking the indoors out. External kitchens, living rooms, dining and even bathrooms will feature in our external spaces of 2019. To achieve a series of defined outdoor spaces, consider the incorporation of low walls, level changes and different flooring surfaces. Even a simple row of potted citrus trees can delineate a space without enclosing it and breaking the visual flow. If you are after a luxe look for your home, why not bring it outside too? Pool houses, drinks carts and beautiful pendants, even contemporary chandeliers can really dazzle your outdoors.

TOP 3 PICKS
Classic design: Hamptons meets British Colonial era The Hamptons trend has captured our hearts and will continue to be a classic go-to for styling in years to come. A British colonial era version will emerge in 2019, taking cues from the Hamptons style, but using bagged or rendered brick painted white, with either light coloured, dark grey, or dark brown roof colours in either a tile or Colorbond finish. For 2019 renovators, this means that many of those single-storey brick homes can have a facelift with some bagging, painting and perhaps the addition of a wrap-around veranda and patio. A formal sub-tropical garden with manicured lawns will really top it off.
Fresh and fun – Haymes Paint’s Carib Green
Glam and luxe – Dulux’s Old Money
Retro and sophisticated – Dulux’s Plasticine
Eco-modern – Resene’s Untamed
Spotlight on Green Fancy a feature colour for your front door or exterior accessories? Beautiful green tones will be one of the popular highlight colours in 2019. Team these greens up with fresh whites, dark greys or natural timbers for maximum impact.
1. Dulux’s Swamp Fox and Cornstalk 2. Resene’s Thumb’s up 3. Concrete by Haymes Paint
Feature earthy tones Earthy tones incorporating mustards, golden browns and even terracottas are coming back. These can be used as secondary colours on portions of building facades, feature walls, paving and tile selections or inlays, and outdoor upholstery.

Something different: Spanish Mediterranean In 2018 we have been seeing a lot of Mediterranean and Mexican influences come through in fashion and homeware design. For a hint of Mexico, introduce some bagged brick walls painted in white or earthy tones teamed up with casual seating nooks in natural stained timbers with colourful planting and succulents. The Mediterranean style is similar, using a more free-form rendered block, always painted white, combined with painted timber, striped throw cushions and natural stone paving. The best part about these design styles is that once the look is complete, you will always feel like you are on holidays at a beautiful resort. A change is always as good as a holiday – we look forward to seeing some inspiring renovations on the Coast in 2019.

tip Velvet is big. Don’t believe us? Turn to any interior designer and they will tell you the same thing. The modern take on the traditional material involves revised texture, sharp and shapely angles and deep gem tones. The best thing? Not only does it look great, it feels soft and luxurious too.

WONDER WALL This is the wall hanging you have to have. With its unique pattern and texture, it will shine against a simple wall. It’s from Empty Canvas, Mooloolaba.
FEET FIRST The humble doormat can be somewhat overlooked when it comes to designing the perfect outdoor area. And, while you don’t have to spend hours milling over different designs, it is worth investing in a solid and stylish piece. This one is from Coast Store in Cotton Tree.
STYLISH SETTING The Osby Outdoor 3-piece Balcony Setting is sure to bring a touch of class to your outdoor area. It consists of an aluminium frame and intricately spun woven rope. We love the curved profile, high back and sloping armrests. The set is from Domayne. Visit domayne.com.au.
