FROM THE EDITOR:
STYLISTS AT WORK
I
have been working on this beautiful magazine for many years, but I am still in awe of the art of styling. Sure, I know what I love and what I don’t, and have put together a welcoming home that works for my family, yet I constantly marvel at how our stylists can bring together a room with such ease. No issue is this more evident than in this one – our annual Style Forecast. For months, the HB team has been researching, contemplating and focusing on the looks that will drive tomorrow’s home trends, yet it is the stylist who brings these looks to life. In our special double issue – how wonderful is it to have not just one, but two inspirational Home Beautiful covers? – our stylists Rachel Peters and John Mangila have perfectly encapsulated our four amazing new looks. Earlier this month, I was able to see our stylists in action when the Home Beautiful team went on an excursion to the extraordinary space that is Cooks Co-op on the beautifully rugged Hawkesbury River, 90 minutes north-west of Sydney. After following the food journeys of so many wonderful growers from the region with chef Martin Boetz in our HB Cooks Co-op video series, it was time to style up the farm’s rustic shed for a very special celebration lunch. Here, I was lucky enough to be able to offer some help (who knew artists Carol and Cathy and I could put together a lounge?) and see our stylists at work outside. I watched as John, who is also a talented florist, moved slowly yet steadily from one spot to another, lifting a pumpkin from here, a bunch of lemons from there, then effortlessly trimming stems before placing them decisively in vessels to create a stunning scene (see page 148). It was completely mesmerising. In our “The Long Lunch” pages, you’ll find clever styling tips from John and all our team. Style inspiration comes in many forms in this issue: from our four key trends through to our must-linger-over bedroom edit, which features more than 60 gorgeous buys (see page 43) and our Top 10 reusable shopping bags story (see page 28). These chic carryalls make it even easier for us all to do our bit to help reduce waste, which, really, is one of the most stylish acts of all.

How did you get into photography? “Before working in advertising, I had studied photography. Just over 10 years ago I picked up a camera again and said ‘that’s it, this is what I love – I’m changing careers!’” How long have you been working with HB? “For at least seven or eight years.” What is your favourite style of home to shoot? “I appreciate it all – modern, rustic, midcentury and eclectic, and even a mixture of the lot.” What’s your favourite thing about shooting for HB? “The motivated team of people who work hard, and love their work, and want to do their best.” What’s the atmosphere like during a shoot? “It’s always positive. It could get stressful, but everyone on a shoot knows their craft and how to solve any problems. I look forward to it!”

Seen here in the ‘Archie’ buffet, $2760, and the ‘Elle’ coffee table, $2530, the look proves that taking a pared-back approach is always chic – especially when it’s dipped in a pretty blue and embraces a curve.

HOME BEAUTIFUL SAT DOWN WITH US-BORN INTERIOR DESIGNER DIANE BERGERON TO TALK INSPIRATION, TRENDS AND HOW TO BRING THE ICONIC HAMPTONS LOOK TO OUR AUSTRALIAN SHORES
Who’s your personal style icon? “Writer Pauline de Rothschild. She was the epitome of style. Everything she did, she did her own way and with such confidence and elegance, from the way she dressed to how she decorated her home.” What’s your all-time favourite interior trend? “I don’t like to follow trends, but my favourite interior craze from the ’60s is layering the same or multiple patterns in a room.” What’s the most common interior style your clients ask you to create in their homes? “Often, clients will start by asking for a Hamptons-style home, as it’s become a broad term here in Australia. What they’re actually looking for is usually a mix of traditional American North East coast style. A cross between classic modern American, Hamptons, Colonial New England, Cape Cod and Nantucket-style homes.”
HB BOOK CLUB
Any upcoming projects you’d like to share with us? “Yes, we are so excited to soon be rolling out an entire homewares collection in keeping with my Modern Classic American style.” What inspires you? “Everything! From the colour of the ever-changing sea out my window to travel, near and far.”

Worst piece of design/style advice you’ve received? “Any set of rules.” Top tip to nailing a Hamptons-inspired interior? “Keep it casual and, of course, use a lot of painted wood and blue.” For more Hamptons inspiration, including extra tips and tricks from Diane, pick up a copy of our 130-page Hamptons Homes collector’s edition. $14.99, from selected newsagencies and supermarkets.

1 | MISTER WHITE Thirty years ago, Melissa Wills was running a very different business on the site that is now homewares and gift store Mister White. “It was originally a hotel I ran with my husband,” says Melissa. Six years ago, after spending some time in Bangalow, NSW, Melissa and her daughter Charmion decided to reinvent the space her husband still owns. And so, Mister White was born. When choosing items for the store, the duo focuses on looks as well as quality. “Finding products that last is a huge factor,” says Melissa. MUST-HAVE: The Dharma Door laundry basket, $149. OPEN: Tues-Fri, 10am-6pm; Sat, 10am-5pm; Sun 11am-5pm; Mon, closed. VISIT: 2/190 Bay Street, (03) 9681 9109. BOOKMARK: facebook.com/ Mister-White-431960860209923/

This gave her an idea; to create a store where children were always welcome, which is how Junior Republic was thought up. “I wanted to create a space where little ones could play so you could shop in 45 peace,” says Soonee, who has owned Junior Republic for almost 10 years. Originally stocking only childrenswear and a select range of toys, the store has expanded into gifts and beautiful homewares over the years.

She thoughtfully chose Thyme For Living.

DESIGNER’S DIARY:
GREG NATALE
RENOWNED INTERIOR DESIGNER GREG NATALE OPENS UP HIS SYDNEY CITY PAD TO SHARE A FEW OF HIS FAVOURITE THINGS WITH HB WORDS CHRISTINA BEISCHL PHOTOGRAPHY CHRIS WARNES
SYDNEYSIDER “I really love this Sydney Ball painting (left). He was a real pioneer in hard-edged minimalism – unfortunately he passed away last year. I just think this is such a unique piece. There’s another one in the entry of our home. There’s a really nice harmony with the artworks in the apartment; they all work together even though they are all very different.”
“With my last two places, I’ve always been like ‘yeah, I’m done’, but this one keeps evolving. I never thought it would” ~ Greg Natale
street style
“The artwork above my bed is by RETNA, a street artist from LA. He does all these big murals. I even have a RETNA rug in the office. I’ve never met him but he seems crazy. I follow him on Instagram. He just did Justin Bieber’s album cover – he is big. My bedside lamps and my bed are both vintage pieces I found on 1stdibs.com.”
artistic edge
“With art, I like abstract that’s hard-edged, that’s minimal, and I like pop and street art. I just mixed them all, but the large abstract Waldemar Kolbusz piece (above) was the starting point for all the other art in the apartment. Then I got the Sydney Ball (left) and Jurgen Peters (next page) pieces. In this apartment, the artwork came first, then the furniture.”
WELL SCULPTED “The corners in my living room felt quite empty – I searched for a long time until I found pieces that fit the space. The crystal (above left) is from Becker Minty. I really liked its sculptural aspect. The table and the candleholder (also pictured above left) are all from Tom Dixon, I got them from De De Ce. The triangular sculptures (above right) are called ‘Invisible Cities XL’ and they’re by Patty Hava.”

time capsule
“My entire apartment is inspired by the late 1970s. All the furniture is very low, there’s a lot of velvet, a lot of metal – even the art is sort of referencing that era. I wanted the place to feel light because of the amazing views [of the city and the Harbour Bridge]. I started layering the Flat Vernacular ‘Levante’ wallpaper and the carpet and I pulled the blue from the Waldemar Kolbusz artwork to the Jonathan Adler sofa. I just love how the navy blue went really well with the brass and gold.”
CUCINA ITALIANA “In the kitchen, it was the floor that was the starting point – I was inspired by my trip to Italy. Palladiana terrazzo is so on trend, but in Italy it’s been used for hundreds of years. The colour scheme ties in quite well with the rest of the apartment. I really like the lucite handles – they’re from America. The benchtops and splashbacks are super-white Vermont granite, which is very solid.”
“The two books on the ‘Rubell’ coffee table from my new collection are by hotelier Ian Schrager, who was the co-owner of Studio 54. I always admired him.”
work & life
“I work from home every night and there is only so much I can do on a laptop, so we needed a desktop. My partner, Jason, does a lot with spreadsheets – we use this space a lot! The lamp is Waylande Gregory – the pattern is incredible and the metallic paint on it is so beautiful up close. I picked up the vintage French box in LA many years ago – the finish is amazing. The marbling is very elegant.”

NO TWO DAYS are ever the same for artist, designer and calligrapher Gemma O’Brien, who works out of the attic of her inner-Sydney home, which is a source of constant inspiration. “My studio is filled with lots of natural light during the day and you can often see fireworks at Darling Harbour on weekend nights,” she says. Gemma’s first spark of interest in lettering and typography came back when she was a student at UNSW’s then College of Fine Arts, where she became an apprentice typesetter at a letterpress on campus. “Then I started my blog and posted my own experiments and explorations, and that’s when I realised I actually loved drawing,” she says. “Over the course of my degree, my approach to letters became more illustrative and artistic.”
environment around me and how much it’s taken for granted,” she says. “If you see fonts, you just assume they were made by a computer – there is a misunderstanding about how much craftsmanship goes into creating these letters.” After working for a handful of large design firms post-graduation, Gemma stepped out on her own almost six years ago and attributes her growth as an artist to social media. “It’s not something I knew would have such an impact, but Instagram, in particular, became a place where I could experiment with different ideas and techniques, throw them out there and get a response from a community,” she says. From large-scale, hand-painted murals to shoe design collaborations (with US label Rollie
“I LOVE THE IDEA OF CREATING SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY BOLD BUT ALSO HAS AN EXPRESSIVE QUALITY” ~ Gemma O’Brien, artist Today, she balances commercial commissions for big-name clients such as Adobe and Google with her personal artwork, but if it wasn’t for a daring change in direction, Gemma’s beautiful work and successful career may never have been. “I actually started out studying law,” explains the talented artist, who decided to change her course over to art a year and a half into her studies. “I feel very lucky to be in a creative job now, and I probably appreciate it even more, because I almost went down the legal path.” It’s the uniquely human element of the craft that initially drew Gemma in. “When I first got into typography, I started to notice it in the
Nation), Gemma’s work boasts a distinctive style, most often inspired by words or phrases she’s collected over time. “Bold and beautiful is what comes to mind if I had to describe it,” she says. “As an artist, whatever you create always has your own mark on it.” As for what’s next, the sky is literally the limit. “I would love to paint a giant rocket for NASA or Elon Musk that goes into space, but that’s more of a pipe dream,” she laughs. For now, she’s quite content with where she is. “Each time I do a wall that’s a little bit bigger or a mural that’s a little more intricate, there is an internal sense of satisfaction,” she says. “There is always a new goal to reach.”
TOP LEFT & RIGHT: “I finally found the brands and tools I like to work with the most,” says Gemma, who has spent years fine-tuning her collection; The ‘Good Vibes’ piece is part of a print series based on a mural she created for Officeworks.

HOMES
COMING TOGETHER Of all the renovated spaces in their north-west Sydney home, Carly (pictured opposite, with Gigi and Pixie), husband Gary and their children, Jack and Scarlett, say the back deck, with its new tongue-and-groove ceiling and beautiful outlook, delivers just the relaxed, indoor-outdoor lifestyle they craved. “We fell in love with the home because of its gardens,” says Carly. “We wanted the kids to have memories of long days climbing trees, swimming in the pool and outdoor fun – and now they will.” Key to creating the easy, laid-back vibe was a new, lighter palette for the home. “Every floor was resurfaced or re-stained, every wall repainted in a palette of white or grey for a Hamptons feel,” explains interior designer Leanne Smeallie of Ampersand Interiors, who helped the couple with their renovation. Here, a beautiful ‘Westhampton’ lounge from Lincoln Brooks topped with a range of pretty blue cushions from Style My Home and Shack make this space a comfort magnet, all year round.

KITCHEN Light from the back deck floods the open-plan kitchen and dining area (below & opposite).
For continuity, both areas have the same sandblasted marble tile on the floor, while the handmade cement gloss subway tile from Surface Gallery has been repeated as the feature for both the internal kitchen and external barbecue area. Classic wicker and cane furniture, from Lincoln Brooks, was selected for both spaces, with a woven basket from Style My Home sitting easily in the textural palette.

ary and Carly had long admired the avenue of American maples and expansive grounds of the property across the road from Gary’s parents’ home in Sydney’s verdant north-west. The couple made it known that if the owners ever wanted to sell, to please let them know. When that time came, the owners invited Gary and Carly over for dinner, and a deal was struck over wine and cheese. “The lovely owners had built the home from scratch, raised their family in it and wanted to pass on a legacy,” explains Gary. “They didn’t want it demolished. They wanted the next generation to feel the joy of living with so much space.” A huge animal lover, Carly knew the property would be perfect for their children – Jack, now 10, and six-year-old Scarlett – and the family’s dogs, Gigi, Pixie and Ellie. The interiors, which featured terracotta tiles, a rainbow of coloured walls and an abundance of archways, were another story. 58

“The house itself was a bit overwhelming,” recalls Carly. “It was grand and beautifully spacious, but the ground floor was a rabbit warren of rooms, and not many of them had natural light. I knew from the outset we would need help to transform it.” Enter Leanne Smeallie of Ampersand Interiors, who was engaged to help lighten and modernise the building. “We thought we just needed to update the interiors, but Leanne really helped us identify how we wanted to live in the home,” says Gary. “She opened our eyes to how we could connect the house to the garden.” Leanne’s advice was to reconfigure the ground floor and leave the formal rooms at the front of the house, but combine the five rooms at the rear into one airy open-plan kitchen and dining zone. She also suggested extending the roof over the back deck to create an all-weather outdoor room. “Gary and Carly’s inspiration images highlighted their preference for the Hamptons look,” says Leanne. “Thankfully, many of the original

features could be updated in this way.” A classic Hamptons palette of white and grey with blue accents unifies the ground floor. Formal rooms were transformed with Dulux Bearsuit and the high-use areas were painted in Dulux Natural White and Vanilla Quake. Original parquetry floorboards were stained a rich walnut and the archways were removed, except for one at the entry to the house. The grand proportions of the house might have been very welcome, but they did pose some challenges. “Our previous home was a cottage, so in the new space our furniture looked like it had come from a doll’s house,” explains Carly. “Leanne was our secret weapon in making it feel cosy.” The end result of the year-long renovation has been pure joy for all involved. “We knew we would love living here and we do,” says Gary. “But the icing on the cake came when we showed the previous owners. They were thrilled for us and couldn’t be happier with how we have transformed it.”

Two coffee tables and oversized couches give the expansive media room a more intimate feel when required. “When it’s just the four of us we can snuggle on the couch to watch a family movie, but when the kids have a gang of mates over they can turn it into a cinema,” explains Carly. The mix of blue-hued fabrics on the sofa and cushions, paired with Dulux Vanilla Quake on the walls, provides added cosiness. Visit dulux.com.au.

MEDIA ROOM Formerly a warren of small, dark, rooms, the ground floor
has been reconfigured to create an open, airy feel. A double-sided fireplace (top left) links the media room to the kitchen and living space, while a retractable cinema screen, above the fireplace, drops down for movie nights. The drawcard sofas, an ottoman covered in Westbury’s Kalimantan fabric and a rug from Winton House make for a gorgeous spot to retreat to.
FORMAL DINING ROOM The family mainly uses the more casual dining spot near the kitchen to eat, but loves spending time here on special occasions (above). A luxurious ‘Braid Diamond’ rug from Rug Collection and a 10-seater table from Horgans add sophistication without being too precious. PIANO ROOM The darker hues of the piano room create a sense of formality
at the front of the house (left). Original features were given a modern makeover, with the parquetry floorboards stained a rich walnut and timber joinery painted black. “The heritage of the home is showcased here, but the consistent use of grey as an accent means there is a strong visual connection to the rest of the home,” explains Leanne. Dulux Bearsuit walls reference the grey of the kitchen subway tiles, while the elegant glass pendant adds grandeur. For similar, try Chic Chandeliers.

SCARLETT’S ROOM The layout of the first floor remained largely unchanged,
with the bedrooms and bathrooms given a tweak to suit all family members. Fun was Scarlett’s (pictured top left) priority when she was asked her opinion on the fabrics for her room. A Heatherly bedhead covered in Kahuna fabric from Anna Spiro Textiles, with matching cushions, perfectly reflects the cheer of the six-year-old’s bright personality. The pale blue bedside table is from Xavier Furniture and the elephant bedside lamp is from MRD Home.
UPSTAIRS BATHROOM “This is Scarlett’s favourite room in the house, mainly
because there is so much storage for all her hair accessories!” says Carly of this neat space (top right). The traditional tapware, Carrara marble surfaces and all-white cabinetry suit the chic aesthetic of the rest of the home.
JACK’S ROOM Carly wanted to create rooms that would stand the test of
time for her children. Classic stripes on the bedhead (‘Serengeti’ from Westbury Textiles) and a Roman blind, paired with chambray bedlinen and a leather chair from Bisque Interiors, will take Jack (pictured right), through to his teenage years.

A soft palette creates a cocoonlike effect in Carly and Gary’s room (below). “We moved away from the cooler grey tones used on the ground floor to bring a real sense of retreat,” says designer Leanne. Other luxurious ingredients include a linen throw from Berry Jam Sweet Living.
BACK DECK The grey subway tiles from the Surface Gallery are now one
of Carly’s favourite features – but it wasn’t always so. “I really had to be convinced that the grey would work,” she says. “I wanted the space to be really fresh and bright, and thought all-white was the way to go. Now I love the grey as it showcases the texture of the tile and adds a bit of interest.” Overlooking the abundant garden and pool area, the pale grey of the furniture – a ‘Stamford’ table from Horgans and chic ‘Skal’ chairs from Satara – blends beautifully into the space. An L&M ‘Lagoon’ table runner, Bison Home dinner plates in Cornflower and a serving bowl in Midnight from Berry Jam Sweet Living bring in fresh colour.

It was great to be on site most days but be able to go home to a fully functioning house.” Did you agree on all the choices? Carly: “Thankfully we both love blue, so when we were choosing accent colours and soft furnishings with Leanne we were both drawn to the same options.” Favourite spot?

SUNNY DAYS When the temperature rises, Deborah and her son, Mitchell, love
to be poolside at their hideaway on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. “The pool is used from spring to Easter,” says Deborah (pictured opposite with Mitchell). White ‘Helios’ sunlounges from Huset are as comfy as they are stylish, while the ‘Andorra’ limestone pavers from Eco Outdoor were chosen for more than their good looks. “Darker tiles can get so hot in summer, you can’t walk on them, but these pavers stay lovely and cool,” says Deborah. Inside, rays of sunlight spill into the family room (below), making it the most inviting of relaxation zones. Resting on a ‘Pebbles’ wool rug from Halcyon Lake is a duo of American oak coffee tables from Michael Hayes Furniture and a ‘Neo’ leather sofa from King Living, cosied up by a chunky throw from Closely Knit.
A
fter the wettest of weekends, it’s now Monday morning and the rain has cleared. Inside Deborah’s family home, nestled at the foot of a mountain in a quiet waterway development on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, music is playing, the floor is dappled with sunshine and the glistening marina beckons from almost every window. The home’s strong connection to its glorious setting is what Deborah finds most magical. “I love watching the seasons change from here,” she says. “We have 40 magnolia trees and they’ll start to flower soon. There’s always something to appreciate.” While Deborah enjoyed city life for many years, she and her family knew the time had come to make a seachange. “We were living in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs when we thought about making the move,” she says. “We used to holiday on the Peninsula and just loved it. We knew it would be a big change, but we really wanted to be by the water.” And it seems serendipity was at play when Deborah and her husband, who have a seven-year-old son, Mitchell, decided to take the plunge. For, while the couple were instantly drawn to the prime parcel of land their home now stands on, they were told it had already been snapped up by someone else. Only for fate to intervene. “That person decided not to go ahead with the purchase, so the agent contacted us. Before we knew it, we had the land,” she says. “It was absolutely meant to be. All of the pieces just came together.” Having already formed a clear vision of her ideal abode, Deborah knew what needed to be done. “I went and bought some graph paper
and drew exactly what I wanted,” she says. “I then took the drawing to an architect and said, ‘Can you design this for us?’ I think the footprint of a house is what really makes a home work.” With Platform Builders & Designers charged with the home’s construction, Deborah watched with delight as the family’s dream came to life from the ground up. The result was just as they had hoped. Celebrating the beauty of its natural environment, the home marries functionality with contemporary style. Split across two floors, the north-facing home captures the best of the Australian sun. On the ground level, a breezy living and dining domain opens to an expansive pool zone and garden. Also on this level, a guest retreat provides a warm welcome to visiting family and friends, while the upper floor houses the family’s tranquil sleeping quarters. Happily, too, any decorating doubts Deborah may have harboured were resolved when she engaged the expertise of interior stylist and decorator Michelle Hart of Bask Interiors. Together, Michelle and Deborah imbued the home with a sleek modern look enlivened by a soft, yet distinctive palette. A tactile backdrop of timber, concrete and stone is warmed by pretty accents of pink, blue and misty grey. “Seeing this home built, and being involved in everything from finishes to colours, furniture, artwork and even decorator items, made this project a really special one to work on,” says Michelle. With the house now complete, the family have every opportunity to enjoy time in their new environment. “We’ve made some really lovely friends in the area,” says Deborah. “Our home is definitely for living in and that’s what makes it perfect.”
HALLWAY Melbourne artist Katie McKinnon was commissioned to produce the dramatic centre-piece in the entry (top left) and Deborah couldn’t be happier with the result. “I absolutely love it,” she says. “It’s like a whirl of water.” The Soho bench seat – topped with an Abode Living cushion – is from Space To Create, while the circular ‘Zinnia’ rug is from Armadillo & Co. LIVING AREA Natural blackbutt floorboards ground the core living and dining domains (top right), while gleaming polished concrete has proven the hardiest of floor surfaces for the high-traffic entry zone. “The concrete is great because it’s so low-maintenance and practical, but I did want the softness of timber in the main family areas,” says Deborah.

Form meets function in the spacious kitchen (top left), where a sea of crisp white – via 2-pac cabinetry in Dulux Natural White and Caesarstone benchtops in Frosty Carrina – is balanced by the warmth of timber. Beacon Lighting ‘Sunraysia’ pendants are in keeping with the contemporary vibe. “I love to cook,” says Deborah, who sources ingredients from the family’s vegie garden. “We grow everything from beetroot to broccoli and brussels sprouts.” For casual meals, a custom-built table attached to the island (left) is ideal. “It’s such a social spot when we have friends over and it’s where we eat most of our meals as a family.” The ‘Crop’ bar stools by Relm are the perfect perches. BUTLER’S PANTRY
There’s no such thing as too much storage and this walk-in pantry (far left) helps keep everything in order. “My favourite item here is actually the little stool,” says Deborah. “It was Mitchell’s when he was a toddler and now I stand on it when I need something from the top shelf.”

WITH PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE RENOVATING OLDER HOMES, A MELBOURNE FAMILY WAS EXCITED TO TACKLE A NEW PROJECT STORY SHELLEY TUSTIN STYLING ALANA LANGAN PHOTOGRAPHY SHANIA SHEGEDYN
S
easoned renovators Rachael and Alex have had plenty of practice turning ugly ducklings into beautifully refurbished swans, but their latest project, a new build in Melbourne’s bayside area, was a fresh experience for the design-savvy duo. Building from scratch provided different challenges but, most excitingly, it gave them the chance to create a truly bespoke home, designed to fit seamlessly in with the way their family lives. “We’ve done a few houses before, so I had some strong ideas about what I wanted,” says Rachael. The first challenge for the couple, parents to daughter, Georgia, 15, and son, Charlie, 14, was finding the right block, which proved far from easy. The pair wanted something close to the water (as expat Brits, it’s important for them to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of Australia’s seaside suburbs), with rear-lane access for parking, on a block big enough to subdivide and without a heritage overlay – a house that they could demolish without any visual cost to the streetscape. Their diligent hunting was finally rewarded with the perfect place: a nothing-special California bungalow sitting on 600 square metres – a palatial site for this inner-suburban area. The original plan was to divide the block in two, creating one lovely house for themselves and a twin to sell. However, a little experience and research can be a tricky thing. With past renovations and much enthusiastic magazine flipping and Pinterest pinning in mind, Rachael admits her list of must-haves kept expanding – so much so the home’s planned size swelled by a third. Yet, despite this, the couple stayed true to their original intention, which was not to overbuild on the block, and were still able to subdivide. “We were quite clear in our minds that we didn’t want to create massive

rooms just for the sake of having big rooms,” says Rachael. “We wanted it to be quite economical in the space.” The result is a house that feels light and airy, without being overly large. There are plenty of spaces for the family to entertain and spend time together, as well as quiet nooks to get away from it all. Most importantly, everything feels very connected, courtesy of a central void, internal windows and flowing open-plan spaces. The practical rooms – laundry, powder room, pantry – are hidden away in two black ‘boxes’, removing them from notice. Alex is the co-founder of Smarter Bathrooms, so one of the couple’s major goals was to make a showpiece kitchen and two-anda-half wow bathrooms. Setting the team loose on the spaces, they achieved designated chef Rachael’s dream kitchen and an awardwinning bathroom design, snagging the HIA Bathroom of the Year award in 2016. The pair had seen enough new builds to know what they definitely didn’t want, steering away from anything too shiny and new-looking, and leaning towards natural materials rich with texture. “Being a brand new house, we wanted to avoid that boxy feel,” explains Rachael. Yet, building from scratch has had one amazing advantage: there’s been little need to compromise. “We spent so long thinking about this house and how we wanted it to work with our family,” she says. “We drew on mistakes made in the past and things we’d seen done well elsewhere.” This was in comparison to previous renovations of older houses, which left Rachael to wryly reflect that they never felt completely finished until the day they prepared to sell. “The difference with living in a brand new house that we’ve had complete control over is that it’s completely finished and it’s exactly what we wanted,” she says.
THAT LIVED-IN LOOK While Alex and Rachael’s property is a brand-spanking new build, the couple was keen to avoid a show-home look, so opted for multiple layers of matt and recycled materials. From the back, a towering chimney of recycled brick rises from a wood-burning outdoor fire, while cypress timber panelling upstairs adds wonderful texture and warmth. An 18-metre lap pool, including a splash zone for the couple’s teenage children (and friends), was a must-have, while a sizeable deck (opposite, where Rachael sits with Ralph the dog) is ideal for entertaining a crowd. >

KITCHEN A cafe-style tilt window pushes out and up to connect the kitchen (above & opposite) to the deck and barbecue area. The bar stools, inside and out, are from a homewares store in Sorrento. “Good bar stools are hard to find,” explains Rachael (pictured opposite, with Charlie, Georgia and the family dog, Ralph). For similar, try Organic Modernism ‘Taburet’ oak bar stools from Life Interiors. Inside echoes with touchable textures: Carrara marble, two tones of American oak veneer (dark stained and polished, and rough cut) and that stunning brick wall. “A few people tried to talk me out of that one!” says Rachael. “People get scared because they think of splashing on the bricks, but I’m a neat cook and I don’t care about a few splashes. It’s part of the story of living there.” The mum-of-two was not a fan of island benches, seeing them as isolating the chef, but found a solution in the cantilevered edge, which brings people closer to the cooking zone. >

This living/dining/kitchen area is where the family of four spends most of its time (above). Opposite the kitchen, a dining nook (left) has been carved out, featuring an extendable dining table bought second-hand in England. Behind this is one of the space-savvy highlights of the home, a long built-in window seat with blue cushion that juts out over the pool, giving more seating space beyond the boundary wall (above). “We added bookcases at either end to encourage lying down and reading,” says Rachael. The couple chose American oak with a matt finish for flooring. For a similar look, try Polyflor Affinity vinyl flooring in Saw Mill Oak. LIVING AREA

to create a cosy nook (above & opposite). The unique coffee table, which could easily be a designer piece sourced from Coco Republic, is actually Alex’s old trunk from boarding school. This area is made still more snug through framing on three sides by darkness: on one side, the powder-coated steel box that houses the fireplace, and on two other sides, the American oak boxes that discreetly house utility rooms (with laundry and powder room in one, and study nook and pantry in another). With the doors to each of these rooms concealed by seamless, almost black, cabinetry, these boxes give the home a clean flow – although the process of getting the panels just right wasn’t easy! “We sent it to a furniture polisher to get a completely matt finish,” explains Alex. “It’s got a zero per cent reflection, which is very hard to get – it drove us mad, but it ended up looking good!”

light timber
Rachael has a soft spot for Scandinavian-style interiors, but the room’s blond timber beams weren’t in the original plan. “The timber got damaged by rain when we were starting to build, so we ended up having to treat them with a lighter finish,” says Rachael. “But actually, the look is really great, it feels like they were meant to be that way.” This look can be achieved with specialty products such as LiteniT wood bleach ($380/20 litres, Floorwood).

MAIN BEDROOM Pale timber beams and soaring double-height windows steal the show in Rachael and Alex’s bedroom (opposite), which needs little more by way of adornment than a simple choice of essential furnishings: bedsides from Globe West, lamps from Freedom and a striped linen duvet and throw from Cultiver. The half wall conceals the walk-in wardrobe. BATHROOMS With Alex and the Smarter Bathrooms crew on the case, the bathrooms were always going to be the showpieces of the house. Using the same tiles, fixtures and fittings in each, the rooms offer a calming continuity – both are lined in huge tiles. Combined with colour-matched (and mould-resistent) epoxy grout, Rachael says, “it reads almost as one massive tile, rather than lots of smaller ones”. Elegant Clearwater
‘Formoso’ baths (as pictured in the main bathroom, top left) and black Astra Walker tapware epitomise simple sophistication. In the ensuite (right), the Omvivo double basin combines two bowls in one piece, which leaves space in the middle for some decorative touches – a Wingnut & Co planter from Ivy Muse and hand towel from Loom Towels, in this case. It is also creatively set off centre, which helps to draw attention to the timber vanity top, in the same rough cut American oak veneer as used in the kitchen. UPSTAIRS HALL With natural light streaming in, the upstairs hallway (top right) is a spot worth lingering in, with just enough room for a seat at an antique table. Above the stairwell hang two pendant lights from Masson For Light, the same ones used in the kitchen, but hung singularly instead of in a cluster.

Though the home is actually surrounded by non-avian neighbours, it is exactly this feeling of remoteness that first attracted the couple to the site, located in an eco housing estate on South Africa’s north-east coast.

ddicted to the great outdoors, Emily and Clifton couldn’t help but fall in love with the site of their new home, part of an eco estate built on an old sugar farm in South Africa and largely reclaimed by the wild. “We love the area, it’s beautiful and peaceful,” says Emily. The couple’s other great love is design – Clifton is the founder of design and construction company Union 3 and Emily is an interior designer with her own textile design label – so building a home from scratch was a thrilling opportunity to flex their creative muscles and collaborate with clever architect friends at Metropole Architects in nearby Durban. “The architect is our friend and Union 3 built the house for us, so we were very involved,” says Emily. “Homes are our passion and this was our first build together for ourselves – it was very exciting.” The goal was to build a home that would sit lightly on the land – the single-level build, at 300 square metres, is small for the area but is certainly big enough for the couple and their children, Henry, seven, and Charlotte, six. Another aim of the build was to celebrate its surrounds, and from the front of the property you can see right through the windows to the forested area at the back. Once the house was complete, it was time for the final decorative touches, with texture, colour and pattern used to effectively soften

the angular forms of the very modern architecture. “But Cliff and I have different styles,” says Emily. “Cliff is really contemporary, minimalist and functional – when we met he had a really organised, modern bachelor pad – whereas my style is much more eclectic. I’m all about the patterns, colour and textures.” The home makes a happy marriage between these two distinct styles: the hard-wearing black-tinted polished concrete may seem stark, dark and functional, but then the dancing dappled sunlight shines through the trees outside and suddenly you see entrancing curves and patterns.“Palette-wise, I like it dark and moody so that we know we’re in the forest,” says Emily, who has punctuated the interior scheme with bold pops of colour, while sticking within the jungle theme. Think eye-catching pops of lime green, chartreuse and teal, like bright foliage within the forest gloaming. Though the house feels complete and considered, neither Clifton nor Emily are the type to rush things: they waited seven years between buying the land and moving in, so will continue to add to, and change, the home over the years to come. “We don’t really hunt for things or buy everything in one go,” says Emily, describing how the couple love to explore second-hand stores for pre-loved pieces. It’s safe to say, the home will benefit from this slow but steady approach and gain more layers of loveliness in the years that lie ahead.

Emily’s jungle-inspired interior flair takes a literal turn with the original ‘Martinique’ wallpaper, made famous by the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel in LA. “It’s been my favourite wallpaper for over 15 years,” says the homeowner. “When my in-laws were going to America, I begged them to bring some back. I’m all about pattern, it’s my thing.” The wallpaper is the first thing you see when you walk through the front door and marks a grand division between living spaces and the bedroom wing beyond (below).

Timber chairs drawn from Clifton and Emily’s own brand, Union 3 (for similar, try James Richardson Furniture), surround a table that the couple designed themselves. “We couldn’t find a dining table we liked, so we had it made,” says Emily. KITCHEN “We like natural textures,” explains
Emily, pointing out the beautiful mix of organic materials in the kitchen (above right). “We love walnut, so used that in the kitchen, and there’s natural marble for the counter-top – it’s always been a love of ours.” Shades of grey dominate the space, with cabinets in a very dark grey with a blue undertone, pale grey walls and the black-tinted concrete floors, but with a surprising burst of teal on one wall (right). “We have pops of colour on the walls, but we have kept them to dark teals and blues,” says Emily, who didn’t want to deviate too far from the home’s primary colour palette.
HALLWAY A patchwork kilim runner softens concrete floors in the bedroom passageway (far right). At the end of the hallway, striking breeze blocks mark the unofficial divide between the public and private spaces in the home. A retro-inspired on-trend feature, these blocks make a sculptural statement while also filtering light through to the hall.

Yellow tones bring a dose of sunshine to the room, with a feature wall in dusty chartreuse and mini designer-style Union 3 chairs (try Replica Furniture for similar) in bright yellow. BATHROOM “I love pattern, so we had lots
of fun with the tiles in the showers,” explains Emily, who amped up the colour with a boldly patterned choice for her children’s bathroom (left). The brightness of the tiles is offset by the dark and moody tones of the black concrete floors and the black steel shower screen with mottled glass. Try Tiles By Kate to create a similarly striking look.

A couple of special artworks hang above the bed; the yellow oil painting is by local artist Tamarin Filen, while the elephant print came from an art auction to raise money for a local orphanage, and was painted by the children.
WE LOVE…
an open-plan ensuite
An open ensuite turns the main bedroom into an indulgent escape reminiscent of a luxury hotel. The dark stained oak floorboards – chosen over concrete for their warmth – are continued into the bathroom for a seamless flow. This bathroom nicely balances the open ensuite trend with privacy, with the Victoria & Albert bath tucked behind a wall (and the WC around the corner), while still allowing the bathroom finishes to add visual drama to the bedroom.

TERRACE Spacious outdoor living areas were a crucial part of the build. “We probably spend more time cooking in the outdoor kitchen and eating out on the terrace than we do inside,� says Emily. The roomy deck features a built-in gas grill and a second-hand table matched with grass-green chairs from Union 3, and is positioned to enjoy the gnarled beauty of a very old Natal fig tree.

Who lives here? Clifton, founder of design and construction company Union 3; Emily, an interior designer; and children, Henry, seven, and Charlotte, six. Where are you all on a typical weekend? Emily: “We spend a lot of time outside. We have recently put a timber-slatted cover over our deck and we sit out there a lot. We have a fire pit and spend the evenings out there with the kids.” What is your best bargain buy? “I saw some wicker occasional chairs I loved but they were pretty expensive – then I went to do an interiors job at someone’s house and the woman had those chairs but didn’t like them, so she gave them to me!” And what was your biggest splurge? “The ‘Martinique’ wallpaper next to the breeze block wall. It’s been a favourite design of mine since I was little and for me it was like buying a prized artwork and hanging it up.”

AFTER TWO YEARS SPENT TRANSFORMING A ’ 70S SPLIT-LEVEL HOUSE INTO THEIR DREAM HOME, THIS FAMILY COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH THE RESULT STORY & STYLING KYLIE JACKES PHOTOGRAPHY JOHN DOWNS

HOMES
TROPICAL TRANSFORMATION After living on-site during the renovation of their Burleigh Heads home, Marnie, John and their sons, Charlie and Tom (all pictured, top left), are ready to enjoy their holiday-style haven. “John worked nights and every weekend on the house, so now it’s about enjoying the good life,” says Marnie. To convert an unused corner of the backyard into an alfresco dining nook, John, a builder by trade, crafted the deck, a dining table and wrap-around bench seats. To define the zone, driveway pavers were mitred and laid at an angle to give a breeze-block effect. A Shademaker ‘Sola’ cantilever umbrella provides protection from the elements. The interiors feature a modern monochrome scheme, warmed by natural textures such as wall hangings sourced from Salvage Imports (top right), jute rugs from Armadillo & Co and cane furniture (bottom left). In the living area (opposite), a sofa from The Beach Furniture & Accessories has been updated with cushions from Adairs and a Kira & Kira throw.

LIVING ROOM The living area commands attention, with a feature wall in Dulux Domino highlighting the raked ceilings, and a cluster of twisted branches providing a focal point. For the floors, Marnie and John opted for a Venetian plaster finish in white, by Brisbane Rendering. “We originally wanted oak floors, but with so many different types of timber furniture I didn’t want to add another variation to the mix, so we went with the plaster and we just love it,” explains Marnie. And the plinth that sits below the fireplace? “It was John’s idea to add the floating concrete bench,” she says. “It’s great for displaying things and also doubles as a seat.”
O
n any given weekend there can be more than a dozen kids racing through Marnie and John’s Gold Coast property. With a pool in the backyard and a sizeable lawn out the front, their boys Charlie and Tom, along with a horde of friends from the street, divide their time between the prime locations. While the constant stampede is not ideal for the shimmering white hand-trowelled artisan Venetian plaster floors that link the two areas, Marnie isn’t fazed. “The floors show the sand and grubby footprints but it’s nothing a good mop and vacuum can’t fix,” she says. “We’re just so happy that the boys are having the kind of childhood John and I had, where you hang out with the neighbours and play till it’s dark.” When the couple moved in four years ago, they quickly realised how perfect the location was. “It was close to our favourite cafes, we could ride to the beach and we were welcomed by the neighbours, who had kids around the same age as our boys,” says Marnie. The split-level ’70s home was advertised as ‘the best house in the street’, but the couple joke it was one of the worst in terms of appearance. What it did have going for it, though, was solid bones and great insulation courtesy of its double-brick exterior. “We inspected it on a 35-degree day and noticed how cool it was inside,” says John, who is a builder. “It was far too good to knock down so we chose to renovate.” With John tackling much of the work himself, in addition to working full-time, the family decided they would live on-site during the renovation process. “Otherwise I figured we’d never see him!” explains Marnie. “For a while we showered with a hose attached to the hot water system and cooked with an electric frypan, but we just embraced the dust and chaos and got on with it.” The first improvement was adding a pool and also knocking out several internal walls to open up the lower level. Shagpile carpets were unceremoniously ripped out and multicoloured walls were freshened up with several coats of Builders White paint (ask your local paint store if they can mix this up; or try Dulux Lexicon Quarter). Space was borrowed from a balcony to enlarge the main bedroom and allow for a walk-in wardrobe. Bathrooms were updated with chic, yet timeless, finishes, and to boost airflow, every window was replaced with louvres. A new kitchen positioned to overlook the yard set the tone for the stylish monochrome scheme throughout. Layered with jute rugs, timber furniture and an abundance of greenery, the home exudes a laid-back, beach-loving feel, much like its owners. After a true labour of love to create their forever home, the pair couldn’t be happier. “It’s satisfying to have done so much of it ourselves,” says John. “We wouldn’t dream of moving,” adds Marnie. “The kids just love it so much here and so do we!” FLOOR PLAN first floor

A wall in Dulux Domino sets the scene for a bold kitchen. “I never thought I’d have a black kitchen, but as soon as I saw the benchtop I loved it,” says Marnie of the composite stone island. The pendant light is from Lumen8 and tractor stools from St Barts. The island front steals the show with Popham Design ‘Diamond In The Rough’ tiles in Kohl and Milk. Tiles, $320/sqm, Di Moda Collective, dimodacollective.com.au.
“ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE changes WAS painting EVERYTHING WHITE. IT INSTANTLY MADE THE HOUSE FEEL MORE spacious“ ~ JOHN
KITCHEN After browsing through countless magazines and stores for inspiration, Marnie was drawn to a black-and-white kitchen, which she bought
off a showroom floor (opposite). “With it being ex-display I thought we’d save a few dollars, but it turned out to be quite costly to retrofit it to suit the space,” she admits. “We needed to get it installed by a joiner, who had to cut a new spot for the sink, remove a peninsular to create a straight island and we had additional overhead cabinets made.” Despite the hassle, the pair agree that it was well worth it to create their ideal kitchen. “It’s a great party kitchen,” continues Marnie. “At night we turn on the LEDs, which light up the splashback and feature tiles, and it has such great ambience for entertaining.” DINING ROOM To help connect the home with the backyard, the couple added custom sliding doors to the new dining area (above), providing abundant natural light. The Samsara solid timber dining table and Ashanti dining chairs came in handy during the renovation process. “We used the table for everything,” say Marnie. “It was where we cooked and ate, a place for the kids to do their homework and our home office.”

Marnie: “It’s a relaxed contemporary home. The black-and-white scheme has a formal edge, which creates impact, while the timber features add a casual warmth.” Favourite part of the home? John: “The cathedral ceilings won us over when we first walked in, and now they’re painted white, they really create a feeling of space.” Biggest splurge? Marnie: “Our fireplace! Our friends thought we were a little crazy putting in a wood fireplace on the Gold Coast, but John is originally from England so he wanted that cosy, mesmerising warmth that a fire can bring.”

INTERIOR DOORS:
OPEN HOUSE
THE RIGHT DOOR CAN CLEVERLY CONCEAL OR REVEAL SPACES, AND BE A STUNNING DESIGN FEATURE IN ITSELF WORDS KYLIE JACKES
WHILE THE FRONT door creates the first impression, the other doors in your home are just as important. Internal doors introduce each space as you transition from room to room. A statement door can be used to bathe a room in natural light, inject colour and texture, or can be slotted away entirely from view for an open feel. So be sure to factor this must-have feature into your design plans. Here’s what you need to know.
DESIGN FILE
BI-FOLDS
Incredibly versatile, bi-folds comprise a series of individual folding door panels, which can open inwards or outwards and be pushed to one, or both sides. Timber bi-folds can be used to divide open-plan spaces – great if you want to reduce noise, control the temperature in different zones or add privacy. Glass bi-folds are ideal for the back of the house. “They can create the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertaining area,” says Christine Evans, Stegbar’s director of marketing. “However, when closed they inhibit the view more than sliding and stacking doors.”

Glazed doors are great for partitioning off areas for noise and heat flow purposes while still retaining an open-plan feel. These black metal-framed glazing panels lend a cool, industrial look.
HINGED
Hinged doors are the goto choice for most internal doorways. The most common material is solid or composite timber, which can be dressed up with unique hardware or a high-impact colour. Going down the bespoke route, playing with scale either with a wider or taller door, will also add wow factor.

CAVITY
When space is a challenge, nothing beats a cavity door solution. Unlike swinging doors, which encroach on a room when opening and closing, cavity doors (left) don’t impede on the floor or wall footprint or obstruct furniture. “Their space-savvy design means they suit any area of the house,” says Athina Solomou, marketing director at Corinthian Doors. Think butler’s pantry, ensuite or screening off a study nook. “For wet areas, such as the laundry or bathroom, choose a cavity set-up with full steel construction, which eliminates issues with moisture,” says Athina, who recommends Corinthian’s ‘Platinum’ cavity unit.

FRENCH DOORS
If you’re after a light, open feel with a touch of European charm, go French. “Commonly double doors teamed with a lever handle, French hinged doors allow easy access without the need to open an entire sliding or stacking door system,” says Christine Evans, director of marketing for Stegbar. Perfect off a bedroom, office or small courtyard, timber-framed doors with divided glass panels evoke a traditional feel. For a more modern take, opt for aluminium framing and unobstructed glass.

LIGHT & BRIGHT A MELBOURNE FAMILY PUT THEIR TRUST IN AN ARCHITECT FRIEND TO TURN A DARK AND DATED CHARACTER HOME INTO A LIGHT-DRENCHED SANCTUARY
BEFORE
WORDS TAMARA SIMONEAU STYLING BECKIE LITTLER PHOTOGRAPHY JACK LOVEL
LIVING ROOM “We wanted a relaxed, functional and durable space, and furniture that could withstand our family use,” says
homeowner Rhiannon of the living area of the home she shares with husband Nick and daughters Alys, 10, and Charlotte, seven. A sofa from Crafter and occasional chairs from Adairs fit the bill perfectly. “The Chalie MacRae artwork from Art to Art was a 40th birthday present to Nick and beautifully weaves in the colours and relaxed feel of our home,” she says. >

WHO LIVES HERE? Rhiannon, a public relations director; her husband Nick,
a corporate manager; and daughters Alys and Charlotte. LOCATION: Melbourne’s inner west. ORIGINAL PROPERTY: A tired but well-loved Edwardian character home with
ad hoc fibro extensions added in the ’ 70s. “The previous owner was an artist and there were two artist studios adjacent to the house,” says Rhiannon. TIME FRAME: From design to completion took two and a half years. WHY THIS HOUSE? “We loved the northern light that streamed through the house throughout different times of the day,” says Rhiannon. “Although rundown, we knew it and the block had the potential to be a wonderful home that could accommodate different generations.” WHY THE RENO? Rhiannon and Nick bought the home after relocating from London. In 2011, they moved in, with plans to update it in time, as their children grew. “There is a wonderful community here and we knew that we didn’t want to move from the area,” says Rhiannon. “With parts of the house starting to fall apart, we knew we’d have to renovate at some point.” MUST-HAVES: Open and airy communal zones, with custom spaces for parents, children and grandparents to retreat to as well. “Nick is English and much of our extended family live overseas and in the country, so we wanted to be able to be a hub for both our families when they come to Melbourne and need somewhere to stay,” says Rhiannon. THE WORKS: Old additions were demolished. Architect Sarah Bryant then used the footprint of the original house as her launching point to design a more family-friendly layout for the property. BUDGET-BREAKERS: “The tapware was really key as it’s such a functional and visible part of the kitchen, so we were prepared to spend a little more on this,” says Rhiannon of the solid Hansgrohe mixers specified for the kitchen island and in the butler’s pantry. FAVOURITE ASPECT? “On a summer evening, I love being able to open up the sliding doors to the garden,” says Rhiannon. “Now, we have a beautiful flow throughout the whole home, with the family living area and kitchen leading directly into the outdoor living space.”

KITCHEN After years of living in London, Rhiannon, Nick and the children are relishing the space, light and functionality of the beautifully revamped home. The luxuriously large kitchen (above left) exemplifies the family’s new way of life, with a hint of nostalgia. “Inspired by our English lives, we wanted the kitchen to feel traditional, but also have a modern feel,” says Rhiannon of the striking two-toned 2-pac cabinetry in Resene ‘Lynch’ and Dulux ‘Natural White’. Pepper the spoodle happily lazes on a rug from The Rug Collection in front of the expansive kitchen island. “The island is a real focal point for the house,” says Rhiannon. ‘Taburet’ bar stools sourced from Life Interiors are a perfect match atop the European white oak floors. For similar, try the White Smoked boards from Royal Oak Floors’ Architect Collection. STUDY NOOK A chair from Ajar lends a playful pop of pink to the study spot off the kitchen (left). “It actually works brilliantly as we can keep an eye on the children’s computer use while we cook dinner,” says Rhiannon. ‘Yesterdays News’ wallpaper from Instyle, made of recycled newspaper, is a fun backdrop. “I love the wallpaper and that it’s a reference to what I do – working in the media industry,” says Rhiannon.

DINING An understated modern aesthetic comes courtesy of the ‘Molloy’ dining table in Natural Oak with matching chairs from Cult and a pair of ‘Lullaby’ pendants also from Cult, but the true conversation starter is on the wall. “Our jumping off point for the home’s palette was this artwork by Australian photographer Narelle Autio, which we bought before we even started thinking about the renovation,” says Rhiannon. “The blues and movement of the artwork provided such beautiful tones for our architect to work with.” >

BEDROOM “We really wanted a calm and restful space we could retire to
at the end of the day,” says Rhiannon of her bedroom with Nick (above left), where storage was optimised with a walk-in robe. “It’s such a luxury to have the space after living in a shoebox in London, where we had to rotate our summer and winter clothes due to lack of closet space.” Soft hues in a floral Jenny Fusca canvas are paired with pretty cushions from Sage and Clare and Bonnie and Neil, while Cultiver bedlinen adds a sense of calm.
FAMILY BATHROOM “The bathrooms we had before the renovation were
functional, but that was about it,” recalls Rhiannon. Now, they’re so much more, thanks to the classic pairing of ‘Quartz Perla’ porcelain floor tiles from Elegance Tiles and gloss white subway tiles on the wall (above right). An Aqua Plus freestanding bath with a Gareth Ashton floor-mounted bath mixer complete the light, bright and luxe-looking makeover.
MUDROOM “Before the renovation, we had nowhere to put school bags or hang jackets,” says Rhiannon, who gave architect Sarah Bryant a brief to add storage wherever possible. “This was a must-have with the ever-increasing quantity of kids’ school bags and sporting paraphernalia!” The custom cabinetry ties in with the blue-and-white pairing in the kitchen.

EXTERIOR Before the renovation, the house was closed up to the lovely north-facing backyard, with the add-on rooms tacked on the back.
“They were hot and badly insulated,” says Rhiannon, with Charlotte, Alys and Pepper (below). “This meant we lived in the middle section of the house where the living room and kitchen were. Now, we have a beautiful flow throughout the whole house.” Since the home’s makeover, the family enjoys indoor-outdoor living at its best, with sliding doors opening up to a deck that’s perfect for summer entertaining. The facade was freshened up beautifully with Dulux ‘Dieskau’, and with trims in ‘Monument’ and ‘Natural White’.

FOREVER HOME ONCE A POKY OLD BRICK BUNGALOW, THIS BEAUT Y HAS BEEN TR ANSFORMED INTO A ST YLISH, HAMPTONS-ST YLE FAMILY HAVEN
A DV E RT I S E M E N T
CHOOSE 150MM OR 180MM LINEA WEATHERBOARD PROFILES FOR SHARP LINES OR DEEPER SHADOWS
A DREAM COMES TRUE When Joe and Suzanne first bought their tired 1930s era home, Joe took some convincing to say the least. “Joe hated it,” says Suzanne. “It was a brick bungalow with a bad ’80s reno, but I had the vision of turning it into a Hamptons-style home.” It was Suzanne’s dream to build their forever home, one the kids would always love coming back to. With the wheels in motion, Joe and Suzanne set about their renovation with a plan to extend the existing house and recreate the classic two-storey Hamptons-style home. With plans quickly approved by council and drawings done, Joe and Suzanne agreed the upper storey’s weatherboard cladding should be a more durable alternative to timber. At the suggestion of their builder, they chose Linea weatherboards from James Hardie’s Scyon walls range because they don’t warp, expand or contract like timber, so they hold their good looks and require less maintenance. Another plus was the ability to paint them to perfectly match their colour scheme. And the results are stunning, with Suzanne’s vision complete. “Seeing our ideas come to life is so rewarding. We feel lucky to live here.”
The Scyon range of horizontal, vertical, panel and weatherboard-look cladding options provides you with a range of solutions to perfectly suit your choice of interior and exterior style, from Joe and Suzanne’s Hamptons look, through to contemporary, traditional and country homes. Scyon products are also resistant to damage from moisture and termites.
It was Suzanne’s dream to build their forever home, one the kids would always love coming back to.

The concept for the custom pendant from Vivid Joinery evolved from the desire to position hanging vines above the kitchen island. “I wanted a structure where I could suspend a plant, so I designed a sleek, boxed pendant which was functional but still had impact,� explains designer and homeowner Ania. For a harmonious look, it was clad in the same Polytec Natural Oak Ravine laminate used on the joinery, with a second pendant commissioned for the ensuite (see page 136) to achieve the same effect. To complete the scene, faux vines that were sourced from Interior Gardens provide trailing greenery and, best of all, are maintenance-free.
kitchen “Spaces need to be beautiful and easy to live with, particularly in a holiday home, and we’ve achieved that – when we come here, it’s all about relaxing!” ~ Ania, homeowner curated displays
“When you have a great neutral base, the space becomes a canvas where you can add pops of colour and personality with ceramics, art and treasured pieces, which are easy to change,” explains Ania, of the display (above left). “That’s why I love incorporating open shelving at several heights; it adds depths to the space.” On the kitchen island, lowset shelves are clad in Polytec Natural Oak Ravine laminate.
textural feels
In a monochrome scheme, it’s important to add texture. Hexagonal tiles from Tile & Stone Gallery bookend the splashback (above right) while the surrounding walls are defined in Easycraft VJ panelling painted in Resene Alabaster. Custom wall hangings by Woven Husk introduce a sense of nature. “I love bringing in textural elements which pick up the natural colour palette outdoors,” says Ania.
DESIGNER’S TIP
F
or 10 years, interior designer Ania and husband Les had been visiting the small beachside town of New Brighton, in northern NSW. And it was while on a weekend drive that the pair spotted a vacant block for sale. Wasting no time in snapping it up, Ania drafted the plans and enlisted Les’ skills as a builder to create a contemporary holiday house. “I wanted it to have that relaxed feel where you could come back from the beach with sandy feet,” explains Ania, who runs interior design company Zephyr + Stone with her sister, Kasia. A pared-back palette laid the foundation for effortless cohesion throughout, particularly between the kitchen and bathroom, with the starting point of the renovation being the kitchen, which overlooks a sea of trees. “I wanted to create a connection with the outdoors, so I opted for a clear glass window splashback with louvres either side to bring in the light, greenery and ventilation,” says Ania. Inspiration for the colour palette was also drawn from the location, with the light oak floor tones reminiscent of the warm, grey shades seen at the beach on dusk. “I carried the same oak flooring throughout and injected more warmth with Polytec Natural Oak Ravine laminate on all the joinery in the kitchen and ensuite, and wrapped it around custom pendant lights, which are a feature in both zones,” says Ania. Sticking to classic white, grey and timber finishes, the ensuite – enveloped in large-format grey shellstone tiles – also echoes a subtle coastal theme. Functionality plays a key role, too, with abundant storage helping to keep easy-care surfaces sleek and clutter-free.
A neutral grey and white palette, tempered by timber in both the kitchen and ensuite, evokes a contemporary look with timeless appeal. Steering away from glossy surfaces, Ania instead opted for a more natural patina wherever possible. In the kitchen, 2-pac cabinetry by Vivid Joinery Solutions was painted in Resene Double Alabaster and given a satin finish. Caesarstone in Snow provided a softer grey-white for benchtops.

In the kitchen, Ania cleverly captured the outlook over a pocket of rainforest with a long window splashback from Suburban Windows (above right). “There were so many benefits in using a window above the cooktop,” she explains. “It brought in the greenery from outside, as well as natural light, which is so important in the kitchen.”

Great storage is the key to reserving surfaces for your decorative pieces. In the kitchen, an adjoining scullery (above) ensures the fridge, small appliances and a prep zone are accessible yet out of direct view. Similarly, in the home’s bathroom (see page 136), deep shelves in the floating vanity keep towels, cosmetics and soaps under wraps. Power points are also cleverly hidden within drawers, enabling the walls to remain beautifully sleek.

When designing both the kitchen and ensuite, Ania chose the flooring first. “It’s important to get the foundation right as that influences every other decision, particularly in open-plan layouts when the flooring from the kitchen flows through to living and dining spaces,” she says. QuickStep Majestic boards in Woodland Oak Beige from Choices Flooring proved to be the perfect colour and practical for a beachside abode. “The oak disguises any sand we bring home and the shellstone tiles we chose for the home’s three bathrooms are equally forgiving,” says Ania.

Practicality and aesthetics drove the decision to design a curved custom vanity for the ensuite. “I thought it would be a subtle point of difference to have a curved vanity, and it worked well to soften the edges as we constantly walk around it to access the shower and toilet behind,� says Ania. To continue the circular theme, a pair of 800mm Reflekta Round Pencil Edge Mirrors were matched with Eden Bench Mount basins in Matt White from Highgrove Bathrooms.

When you’re onto a good thing, stick to it. Large-format shellstone tiles envelop the shower zone (above right), which enhances the sense of space and ensures it looks seamless. To punctuate the area, a Mark Tuckey ‘Egg Cup’ stool holds essentials, while a heated towel rail from Harvey Norman Commercial (above left), adorned with beads from Harper and Wilde, keeps Hendrix & Harlow towels within easy reach. In the corner, a basket, also from Hendrix & Harlow, serves as a laundry hamper.

Polytec Natural Oak Ravine laminate was carried from the kitchen surfaces through to the ensuite, where it was used for the custom vanity and floor-to-ceiling wardrobes (above & opposite). Just like the kitchen island, the vanity was topped with Caesarstone in Snow, and the same custom pendant was repeated in the ensuite to visually balance the room and draw the eye up (opposite). “I think when there’s a seamless flow between zones, a house feels like a home,” says Ania.
DESIGNER’S TIP
“True to its name, the colour of the large-format shellstone tiles in the bathroom resembles crushed shells on a sandy beach” ~ Ania
“To achieve a seamless feel between spaces, you’ve got to get your base palette right,” explains Ania. “I love timeless neutrals like white and grey, which I warm up with timber finishes. You can play with tones, opting for lighter or darker shades, but for a space to feel truly cohesive nothing should feel overly dominant. It’s all about balancing the materials so they complement one another. Rooms like the kitchen and bathroom can then be individualised with furnishings, subtle accents and personal pieces.”

OUTDOORS HORTICULTURIST AND VICTA AMBASSADOR ADAM WOODHAMS SHARES HIS EXPERT ADVICE ON HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR PATCH OF GRASS INTO A LUSH GREEN OASIS 1. Don’t cut grass too low While this might seem like an obvious tip, it’s often the biggest mistake people make on their patch of turf. “Grass provides shade and natural cooling to the roots and soil, and longer grass will provide a much softer surface for kids to run around on,” says Adam. 2. Mulch as you mow Run the mower in ‘mulching mode’ to make mowing faster and easier, with no stopping-andstarting to empty the catcher. “It’s like giving the lawn a light organic feed every time you mow,” adds Adam. 3. Aerate “Perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots will help them grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn,” says Adam. But be warned – lawn corers (aeration machines) are pricey to purchase, so consider hiring the equipment you need to get the job done before summer.

TOWERING PALMS AND CRISP white breeze blocks may suggest
Palm Springs, but instead of California, this sun-drenched oasis is hidden away on Sydney’s lower north shore. Its clean lines and streamlined design pay homage to the contemporary era of the house it belongs to, but it wasn’t always so fitting. Sharlene and Chris purchased their home six years ago after falling in love with its mid-century charm, but its original old-English-style garden left them perplexed. “It just didn’t suit the style of the house – there were hedges and camellia bushes and old, uneven brick paving,” explains Sharlene. “It was a real mismatch.” Determined to bring it in line with a retro aesthetic, the homeowners enlisted the help of Landart director and landscape designer Matt Leacy. “They wanted to create a relaxed environment with a family focus, while staying true to the style of the home,” says Matt.
“It is quite common to have an old pool that was built 50-60 years ago in the wrong spot in the backyard, but with the right design you don’t need to rip out the pool and start again”

An exposed and spacious dining area (opposite) beside the pool (above) has served the family well since it was put up. “I wouldn’t say we’re big entertainers, but now we love having people over – after lunch, we’ll move down here for afternoon coffee and cake while the kids are in the pool,” says Sharlene. Adds landscape designer Matt: “We wanted this to be a really usable space for functions and parties and hosting Christmas.”
breeze blocks You’d be forgiven for thinking the iconic white breeze blocks (right) were an original feature of the home, but in fact, they were another strategic addition by Matt to help elevate the mid-century style of the space. “I have to say, they are my favourite feature out here,” says homeowner Sharlene. “They just make it feel really beautiful.” OCTOBER 2018

< “They were very committed to that look, and wanted to introduce that feel throughout the garden,” says Matt Leacy. While the couple initially disagreed on some of the minor additions such as artificial turf and a water feature by the pool, their primary motivation was one and the same – to create a more functional and open-plan backyard for their children, Callum, nine, and Thea, six, to enjoy all year round. First on the family’s wishlist was to bring the original pool back to life. “We wanted to make the pool a feature in itself, but we also wanted to simplify it,” Sharlene says. With a careful plan and new decking, it was safely and stylishly revived. “With the right design you don’t necessarily need to take out the pool and start again – sometimes you can save on waste and actually make sense of what’s already in place,” says Matt. Lush green foliage, easy maintenance and a sense of privacy were also top priorities, all of which were addressed by clever planting choices. “The whole process really reminded me that planting is so important,” says Sharlene. “I’m not a gardener but I love plants and we are really enjoying that feeling of being surrounded by greenery again.”
“I just wanted something that was really practical and simple but still beautiful” ~ Sharlene, homeowner pool
New decking was installed to simplify the shape of the pool and introduce sharp, clean lines to the landscape to complement the house, but it was no easy feat. “The pool isn’t parallel with the boundaries, or with the house, so that was a challenge,” admits Matt.

CAST IRON PLANT
BAMBOO
Chosen for their ability to withstand neglect, cast iron plants add colour beside the pool. They are ideal for garden beds nestled beneath tall bamboo and palm trees and are known for success in shady spots. Japanese silver grass, planted in between, brings a touch of movement and elegance.
Privacy was another concern for the family. “We needed to go for something that was obviously going to screen out neighbouring yards, but also create a lush foliage feel so it softens up all the hardscapes,” explains Matt. With only a narrow garden bed to work with, bamboo ticked all the boxes.

stairs Creating a connection between the pool and an upper-level balcony was a necessity. “Before the makeover, Chris and Sharlene were either upstairs, or having to be down here with the kids – now there’s an easier flow,” says Matt. But with the staircase bordering the pool, safety regulations had to be met. “It’s not a regular balustrade – one side is a little higher to meet the required standards.”

PULLED PORK CARNITAS WITH GREEN PICO DE GALLO
Serves 6
1.5 kg boneless pork shoulder 1 tsp ground sea salt ½ tsp cracked pepper 2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp onion powder 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp chipotle chilli powder (see tip) 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for cooking 2 cups chicken stock ⅔ cup orange juice 2 bay leaves 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 large onion, chopped
12 x 14cm corn tortillas (see tip) 2 limes, cut into wedges Green pico de gallo 3 thin green onions, thinly sliced 1 Lebanese cucumber, seeded, very finely chopped 2 fresh jalapeño, seeded, very finely chopped 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander Sea salt, to taste Habanero cream ½ cup sour cream 1-2 tbsp lime juice, to taste 2 tsp green habanero hot sauce (see tip)
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Pat piece of pork dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Combine salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander and chipotle powder. Rub all over pork. 2. Heat oil in a large heavy based, oven-proof pot over a medium heat. Cook pork, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned all over but not blackened. Add stock, juice, bay leaves, garlic and onion. 3. Cover and slow-cook in oven for about 2½-3 hours, turning and basting twice during cooking, until pork can be easily pulled apart. Using tongs, lift pork from liquid and set aside to cool slightly. 4. Boil remaining liquid in pot for about 10 minutes or until reduced slightly. Discard bay leaves. Use two forks to shred pork. Pork can be made the day before up to this stage. Allow to cool, cover and refrigerate. Cover and refrigerate cooking liquid. 5. Combine pork and cooking liquid (if cooking liquid has been refrigerated overnight, discard solidified fat layer from the top and warm cooking liquid until melted). Heat a large, lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook shredded pork, in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until turning golden and crisp on the edges. 6. To make green pico de gallo, combine onion, cucumber, jalapeño and chopped coriander in a bowl. Season with salt. For habanero cream, combine sour cream, juice and hot sauce in a jug until smooth. 7. Warm tortillas according to directions. For crisp tacos, cook the tortillas in a lightly oiled frying pan over a medium-high heat for 2 minutes each side. Spread pork on tortillas. Sprinkle with green pico de gallo and then drizzle with habanero cream. Squeeze tortillas with lime wedges to serve. Buy imported Mexican products such as chipotle chilli powder, tip fresh corn tortillas, hot sauces and salsas such as pico de gallo and red salsas at mexicocityfoodproducts.com.au. Supermarkets also carry corn tortillas and some hot sauces.

E N T E RTA I N RED SNAPPER CEVICHE
Serves 6 RED SNAPPER CEVICHE
1 firm ripe tomato 3 small red radish, ends trimmed, very finely chopped 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded, very finely chopped 600g sashimi-grade red snapper
fillets, pin-boned (see tip) ⅓ cup lime juice ½ tsp sea salt flakes Micro herbs, to serve Tajin Mexican salsa powder, to serve (see tip on page 162)
1. Cut tomato into quarters. Run your knife along flesh to remove seeds and a thin piece of flesh from each quarter. This will give you a thinner piece of tomato. Cut into very thin strips then finely chop. 2. Combine tomato, radish and jalapeño in a small bowl. Cut fish into 1.5cm cubes and place in a bowl. 3. When ready to serve, add lime juice and salt to snapper and stir until combined. Allow to stand for 5 minutes only. 4. Divide fish between plates and sprinkle with tomato mixture. Garnish with herbs and dust with salsa powder. Serve immediately. Order only line-caught ocean fish that goes in an ice slurry as tip soon as it's caught. Ask your fishmonger to fillet, skin and pin bone it for you. A 2kg red snapper will give you about 600g flesh.
MOJITO ICE CREAM
Serves 8
1 bunch mint 500ml milk 2 tsp finely grated lime zest 6 egg yolks ⅔ cup caster sugar
600ml thickened cream ¼ cup Malibu 2 tbsp lime juice Small mint sprigs and finely grated lime zest, to garnish
1. If you have an ice cream maker that requires the container to be frozen, freeze it overnight. Finely chop 1 tablespoon mint, put in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Put milk, remaining bunch of mint (on stems) and zest in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse. 2. Put egg yolks and sugar in the small bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 5 minutes until thick and creamy. Discard mint from hot milk then drizzle milk in, whilst beating. Transfer mixture to a large heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure bowl doesn’t touch water. Stir constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Sit bowl in a large bowl of iced water to chill mixture quickly, or refrigerate for 3-4 hours until well chilled. 3. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add cream to milk mixture and stir in until combined. Stir in mint, rum and juice. Pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn until a soft serve ice cream consistency forms (for smaller machines, churn in two batches) Transfer ice cream to a suitable container and freeze overnight. 4. Alternatively, to make without an ice cream maker, pour mixture into a metal container and freeze for 2-3 hours until semi-frozen. Spoon mixture into a food processor and process until smooth, pour back into tin and freeze again until semi-frozen. Repeat this process twice more, to reduce ice crystals, then freeze overnight. 5. Serve scoops garnished with mint leaves and lime zest.

L A S T WO R D UNSUNG ICONS:
front of house
COMEDIAN DAVID SMIEDT TAKES AN IRREVERENT, BUT APPRECIATIVE, LOOK AT THE CLASSIC THINGS THAT DEFINE YOU-BEAUT AUSSIE LIFE ILLUSTRATION MATT COSGROVE
IF THE EYES ARE THE ‘picturesque bay windows’ to the soul,
then the front door and its surrounds provide similar insight to a home. It starts off with the door itself, and these have been through a catalogue of fashions. There’s your bog-standard opaque variety, whose prime purpose seems to be preventing passers-by from seeing your nudie dash from the bathroom to the bedroom. Mission accomplished. But who could forget the leadlight craze that threw jewel tones down the hallway when the sun struck it just right? Or the technological leap which allowed you to perfectly match the shade of your timber door to that of your freshly painted walls? The minimalists could barely contain themselves. This correspondent is also old enough to recall the scandal when the first person on his street painted their door fire-engine red. We’ve heard of feature walls, but what madness is a feature door? Where will it end? Before ‘the welcome mat’ became an excellent joke used by Kath & Kim, it added what your mum might call “pizzazz” to a doorway. Your entry-level candidate was purely functional. A rough greige rectangle of coir held together by wire. It was perfect for dislodging the mud from between the studs of football boots fresh from sports on Saturday morning and the veil of dust that clung to the RMs of country visitors who couldn’t figure out why you let your dog sleep inside. Long before the term ‘doormat’ was applied to people, you could upgrade with ones featuring floral motifs that echoed the garden’s star attractions, the always classy ‘welcome’ – note the fancy italic font – or the jokey variety; as in “bless this mess” or “you don’t have to be crazy to live here – but it helps!” Add in a doorbell that eschewed the boring ‘bing-bong’ in favour of the opening bars of Moonlight Sonata and you quite literally had a world of entertainment at your feet. But turns out this was a mere prelude to the wonders that lay within. The first feature you noticed – mainly because it was at your eye level – was the hat stand. Which invariably creaked under the weight of lapsed interests and passing fashions: helmets from the brief flirtation with cycling gathered dust alongside those transparent plastic visors ladies wore in the 1970s playing tennis. Perhaps there might have been a tweed flat cap –

purchased on a retro whim. Ditto, a lacquered rattan boater complete with black ribbon that was bought for a rural race carnival but then forgotten at home – where it’s stayed ever since. On the stand’s teak tendrils were also to be found sun-weathered baseball caps that saw time on the sidelines of countless seasons of Saturday morning sports, plus deeply unfashionable floppy varieties that provided unparalleled sun protection during a morning’s weeding Beside the hat stand and affixed to the wall was a key board. No, millennials, not a keyboard – a key board, which translates to a piece of timber, often fashioned in a woodworking class, into which several hooks had been screwed, where you hung your bunch. Sometimes beveled edges were a decorative feature, as were daintily painted flowers. Or, for something faux rustic, the family’s name was burned into the timber with a blowtorch. Below this often sat one of two items: the first was a row of sturdy pegs on which hung obligation and responsibility jackets. That is, items donned out of necessity when on your way out the door to do something you didn’t really want to do, such as walk the dog you begged for at Christmas, attend your brother’s 8am-kick-off footy carnival or head to the servo because it was the only thing open and Nan wouldn’t have her tea without milk.
WE’VE HEARD OF FEATURE WALLS, BUT DOOR? WHAT MADNESS IS A
feature
The other item was boot racks – essentially, a series of vertical timber rods where wellies were placed to dry off after a morning’s jumping in puddles. If there were kids in the house, you got to see a number of sizes, ranging from the adorably tiny up to “I can’t believe she takes a size nine already.” Practical purpose aside, they tugged at the heartstrings of the sentimental as they represented a passage of years and growth, a rubberised montage of fun times past. Even when their occupants had long since outgrown them, had doors of their own to decorate and couldn’t figure out why their parents were still displaying their old gumboots.

W E LC O M E THE ANNUAL HOME BEAUTIFUL STYLE FORECAST has become a bit of an institution for the Home Beautiful team, and it’s something I look forward to each year. Obviously, I love it because we create such stunning images, but really, it’s the process that we all look forward to the most. It brings together every member of the Home Beautiful team, and the inspiration sessions are just the start: lots of stunning images, beautiful design pieces and passionate conversations about why each particular look will be loved just as much by our readers as us. We all come armed with ideas, colour swatches and new products we have discovered, and it all somehow seems to knit together so perfectly each year that everyone finds a real sense of themselves in each trend.
“SO, NOW I officially HAVE FOUR favourite TRENDS” I thought for me this year it was all going to be about the warm sparkle of the metallic mixed with the moody, inky blues, which was the start of our ‘Bold Ambition’ trend. I was absolutely convinced that would be my favourite! But then I saw our ‘Homeward Bound’ trend, styled by HB senior stylist Rachel Peters and I instantly fell in love! Then stylist John Mangila took my breath away with ‘Refined Romance’ and completely inspired me to get a bit more adventurous with ‘Retro Pop’. So, now I officially have four favourite trends! The end result, I hope you’ll agree, is pages and pages of pure inspiration, coupled with some really practical tips for creating each look in your own home.

Contrast velvet with bedding or even sequins to really have some fun with layering. Whether it’s a collection of sumptuous cushions, an aztec throw or something more dramatic, the different textures will bring out a playful side to your styling. Try incorporating velvet in earthy tones to complement the warmer weather and bring the outdoors inside. The current retro resurgence is another great way to play up your interiors this spring. Reinterpret and revisit colour pairings that gained popularity during the ‘70s and transform your space. The most important thing to remember for spring décor is colour experimentation. Try bringing bright contrasting colours and textures into your space in accented ways. Statement furniture pieces or even a striking rug over hard flooring will revitalise any room.

evitalising your interiors to keep them up to date doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated, especially when the trends of tomorrow are as stunning as the four we’ve fallen for. Here’s our compilation of 25 on-point decorating ideas that will inject new life into the spaces you love.

1
STEP UP THE BEDHEAD
2
“If you have an ensemble bed, you can change up the bedhead to update the look or style of your bedroom as frequently as you like,” says interior designer Kate Cooper of Kate Cooper Interiors. “If you’re handy, you could even have a go at making your own. Search for DIY bedhead projects on Pinterest or YouTube and be inspired.”
T R E AT A W I N D OW Take your window covering – particularly in the bedroom – to fashionable new heights by injecting colour or pattern. Minimal budget doesn’t have to mean minimal style. An eye-catching pattern will let your window covering act as the feature wall in a room. Try Luxaflex’s Signature Print Collection for inspiration.
3
BE BOLD Turn a tired-looking bedroom on its head by opting for vivid paint colours, inspired by our Retro Pop look. A deep and vibrant hue on the walls will really change your outlook. “When used well, it can literally turn an interior from pedestrian and dull into something jaw-droppingly beautiful,” says interior designer Angela Steyn of Angela Steyn & Co Interior Design. Try ‘Shepherd’s Warning’ from Dulux’s Legacy range that packs a pink punch.
4
Take cues from our Homeward Bound trend and create vignettes that tell your family’s own personal story. Collected pieces always start a conversation – make a date to re-tweak and restyle displays.
“I love the look of a PICTURE SHELF above a bed. This is a great way to really ADD IMPACT to a room”~ Kristie Hill, Colourcube Interiors
5
ADD A FO CA L P O I N T Sometimes all it takes is one statement item – such as the artwork in this Minted Interiorsstyled space (left) – or a stand-out period piece to set your makeover in motion. “There are some beautiful contemporary furniture pieces that have taken their roots from the best of mid-century design and often their inclusion is enough to give a retro twist,” says interior designer Angela.

2019 STYLE FORECAST

GO GREEN Take our Homeward Bound trend one step further and add greenery and foliage that reflect our rugged landscape. “Mother-in-law’s tongue is incredibly hardy and has a beautiful, sculptural shape that always looks dynamic,” says Angela. Devil’s ivy is also a perfect plant for the beginner green thumb. Melissa King, horticulturist and Northcote Pottery ambassador, advises: “Opt for a wide mixture of plants, including ones with large leaves to help catch air pollutants.”
I HOMEBEAUTIFUL.COM.AU
7
P L AY W I T H PAT T E R N Whether subtle or striking, each of our new-season looks incorporates pattern and print – and soft furnishings are a good place to start. “One of the easiest ways to reinvigorate a space is by changing cushions and throw pillows,” says Home Beautiful’s acting creative director Julia Nadin. “Be brave and mix and match colourful patterns or opt for a similar tone throughout and vary the textures and shapes.”

E M B R AC E T H E B L U E Fallen for our Bold Ambition trend? You’re not alone. “The world’s love affair with indigo started as early as 4000BC in Peru, and nothing has changed,” says stylist Riza Taylor of Villa St Interiors. “The blue-indigo spectrum of colours is one of the most prevalent in our surroundings, so we’re generally very comfortable with it.” A dramatic way to feature this dark, moody hue is to zone a space in the highlight colour, as seen in this dining space. Framed by a white arch and imbued with gold touches, the room has all the hallmarks of a modern classic for the future.
9 I N V E S T I N A RT Capture the essence of the Australian landscape with a soul-stirring work and look for artists who embrace the colours of our country’s heart, such as photographer Kara Rosenlund or painter Jenie Fawckner. “What better way to pay homage to our great land than through artwork?” asks interior designer Kristie Hill. Adds Riza Taylor of Villa St Interiors: “It doesn’t have to be expensive – Etsy provides beautiful Australian flora and fauna instant-download print options.”
10
P R ET T Y U P W I T H P I N K If there is one direction that overrides all others in our Refined Romance aesthetic, it’s blush. “You want to get the right tone so it goes with the other colours in your room,” advises interior designer Kate Cooper. Carpet and soft furnishings are a great starting point. “Our Luxe Palette collection features warm pinks, soft blues and refreshing pastel greens,” says Kara Norris, Carpet Court’s chief marketing officer. “And it’s super soft.”
14
11
M I R R O R, M I R R O R Replacing an old mirror is the simplest way to revamp a dated bathroom and add some signature style. For a burst of colour inspired by Retro Pop, try the ‘Arabesque’ mirror from Xavier Furniture in Teal. But, if it’s the elegance of Bold Ambition you’re after, opt for West Elm’s ‘Metal Framed Round Wall Mirror’ in Antique Brass.
B U I L D C H A R AC T E R F R O M B E LOW Nothing matches the dramatic impact of a well-chosen floor covering, so consider a new rug to refresh your room – though it needn’t blow the budget. “There are loads of polyester-cotton blends and upcycled options that have the look of expensive Persian rugs, but are more practical,” says interior designer Riza. Choose wisely, as this will set the style for the entire space.
12
LO O K TO YO U R L I G H TS Introduce a little bit of luxe to your space with pendants that take texture cues from our Homeward Bound trend. “Replace oyster lights with a pendant or cover them with a wicker shade,” suggests interior designer Angela Steyn. Try the rattan ‘Firefly’ pendants from Cotswold Furniture to nail the look. In the bedroom, hang them low beside the bed to replace your lamp, or in the kitchen, install a set of three above the bench.
13 S P L A S H O U T W I T H C O LOU R For a quick fix to bring your bathroom on trend, paint over old tiles. “You’ll have a new look at a fraction of the cost,” suggests Kristie. If you’re crushing on blush, try specially formulated White Knight tile paint in Pink Parlor from Bunnings, and pair it with brushed brass fittings for a bathroom inspired by our Refined Romance directive. Looking for a more subtle approach? Stick to whites for the walls, charcoals on the floor and let your decor do the talking.

Replacing taps and fixtures in the bathroom is another easy update for functional spaces. You might not paint the wall midnight to capture the old-world charm of our Bold Ambition trend, but instead consider swapping your tired taps for Meir Australia’s round ‘Jumper’ valve wall top assembly taps and wall spout in Tiger Bronze (above), guaranteed to achieve a level of grandeur in the wash zone.
The most accessible way to embrace the luxe appeal of our Refined Romance aesthetic is with texture. Choose of-the-moment terrazzo-look vessels and introduce marble-look side tables that will update your look in an instant. “Adding a single piece such as a coffee table can really transform the style of an existing space,” says Home Beautiful’s acting editor, Katrina O’Brien.
We spend a lot of time in front of the bathroom vanity, so consider yours carefully. Upcycle a vintage timber sideboard to embody our Homeward Bound look – and simultaneously score points for sustainability. Scour vintage stores and op-shops for the perfect piece, then get creative with a new sink and tapware. Try Methven’s ‘Blaze’ basin mixer in Chrome for a modern touch, or Reece’s Posh basin set for something a little more traditional.

19 G I V E YOU R L A M P S S O M E LOV E “If you have lamps in your bedroom, try re-covering them in a beautiful new fabric – this can update the entire look of the room,” says Riza of Villa St Interiors. “Lamps frame the bed and help centre the space – they should be about the same height as your bedhead and cast light from underneath, not through the top.” Opt for the ‘Fountain Ikat’ fabric in Ink from No Chintz to bring in the moody blues.
20 B U I L D O N YOU R B E D D I NG Linen converts will tell you that once you’ve invested in linen bedding, you’ll never go back. The texture, muted colours and lived-in loveliness of linen make it the perfect choice for any bedroom scheme – especially to re-create the Homeward Bound aesthetic. “Look for a natural quilt cover as your base,” says Kristie, and dress it with throws and cushions in shades of rust and terracotta.

L AY E R U P Be inspired by Bold Ambition to add depth, drama and personality to the bedroom. “Choose one main colour, then add accessories in tones either side of the colour spectrum,” says interior designer Kristie Hill.
STICK IT Make your boudoir a retro vision with removable wallpaper. There’s no mess and, when you’re on the move, you can simply peel it off and take it with you. We can’t go past the vibrant vintage vibes of ColorRay’s ‘Around The Circle’ design.

T E L L A S TO RY Turn your bedroom wall into a gallery of collected pieces and treasured artworks. “Look for pieces that have similar washed tones and a palette that’s drawn from the colours of the earth and bush,” says HB’s Katrina. “Our Homeward Bound trend is all about capturing your own story in a comforting and beautifully warm way.” Outline each artwork you wish to display on large pieces of paper and play with the shapes on the floor before committing to the wall space.

Let’s face it, you spend a lot of time standing at your kitchen island, so adding softness underfoot by way of a floor rug is both a functional idea and a great way to add a lovely decorating layer. A well-considered rug can add a soft swathe of colour to your space – and the ‘Atrium’ runner in Barker Navy from Carpet Court ticks all the Bold Ambition style boxes.
Stand-out sinks are trending now – and it’s easy to see why. Opt for something custom-made (as pictured, right) or invest in a stylish ‘Pill Basin’ from Nood Co – it’s available in Charcoal and Dusty Grey (or even Musk and Blush Pink, if you’re coveting our Refined Romance look). Team with a complementary feature wall and pendant light to seriously up your glam game.
