It’s time to get inspired for the season ahead with Dulux’s Autumn 2018 colour trends! It might not seem like it with this blast of long, hot summer days we’re having, but autumn is just around the corner. To mark the occasion, colour authority Dulux has released its colour trends for the season ahead and, …
I recently explored Melbourne furniture store, Weylandts, to discover their story and ethos. It’s rare to find a brand whose values resonate strongly with you. And it’s another thing to distinguish between values added as an afterthought, versus those that are integral to the very essence of the brand. In fact, it’s often the quieter …

But what shade of white??! There are hundreds of different whites to choose from and when it comes to selecting just one, it’s a decision that gets so many of us stumped – me included! Warm and cool whites throw different tones into a space and change the mood of the room, so there is …
When the progressive and talented Australian designer and all-round creative entrepreneur, Sibella Court, and her team at The Society Inc. are brought on to dream up and then roll out an interiors project, you know the result is going to be something special. Let me introduce you to Henry Deane – the ‘crown jewel’ of Sydney’s Hotel Palisade. This …
Beautiful, Scandinavian decor has been all the rage for a while now, with its sleek lines, blonde timber and functional qualities. But let’s admit, many of the mass produced products look very ‘same same’. SO, when I came across a Melbourne-based kids furniture and toy brand, whose pieces are beautifully Scandi in style, but also have a unique design …
Byron Bay is right up there on my ‘must visit’ list. So you can only imagine when I saw the incredible renovation of Rae’s on Wategos. Managing Director, Jordy Catalano, said the resort hadn’t been renovated since its original owners, so it was time to take the resort ‘to the next level’. As Byron Bay continues …
Prahran has no shortage of amazing spaces, but this wellness centre sets the bar very high. The Sum of Us incorporates yoga, Pilates, treatments – such as physiotherapy and podiatry – AND a cafe (which is a combination of all of my favourite things!), and is all about health in mind, body and life. Behind …
It’s the season of short days, cozy nights and warm drinks enjoyed from the comfort of under our doona! But just as fashion changes over winter, so too do interiors. We bring extra luxury and indulgence to our homes over this period as we add warmth and comfort. Take a read of the five biggest trends …
So I must admit, there is always dust to be found at my place. Whether it has quietly gathered on the windowsills or snuck its way onto the tops of wardrobes, dust is something I just can’t keep up with, and my vacuum cleaner ain’t helping cos it just can’t get to those tucked away …
There is no denying that I am a big fan of the strong, masculine, and very sensual aesthetic that is Zuster. I covered the Australian furniture brand’s Embellish range back in April. So, fast forward to June, seeing these pieces ‘in real life’ was quite the treat, and made possible thanks to the incredible design show that …
One of my favourite email newsletters to receive is that by Broadsheet. Just last week, this amazing new cafe popped into my inbox – full of polished concrete, touches of teal in the tiles and upholstery, and polished, brass elements. It’s No. 19 in Ascot Vale – the new venture by Diana and Domenic Caruso, who are …
Back in the day, we wouldn’t dream of using LED lighting as a feature in our homes, let alone as chandelier style pieces. Well that has all changed and I’m calling it: 2017 is the year of the statement LED! Traditionally, LED lighting wasn’t something we’d associate with high end, designer living. But that’s exactly …
I’m a big fan of relaxed linen. When it was time to replace one of my older doona covers, it had to be a dove grey linen cover that has that soft, slightly worn and very inviting texture. And the bonus is that you don’t have to iron linen – it looks perfect slightly crinkled! …
When one of the photos from this NSW property popped up in my Pinterest feed, I was compelled to click through and see more. Ohh the soft, ooh the furniture choices, ooh those views! This Clovelly home oozes sophistication and restraint. It is bathed in a colour palette of blues, whites, creams and greys, and paired …
When interiors, brand and photography meet at the top of their game, the result is something special. One such is The Penny Drop in Box Hill. This cafe sits at the base of the newly refurbished Australian Tax Office building and its name plays on the concept of the ‘penny dropping’ from the pockets of the …
Who doesn’t love wildlife? Exquisite birds, cute fluffy creatures and quirky insects. But you know what’s not to love? That so many of these animals are at threat of extinction. In fact, we could lose 50% of all species on Earth in the next 100 years. Let me introduce you to two people who have set …
It’s a space I came across almost a year ago and it has remained one of my favourite office spaces since. The white walls dressed with art, the stunning floral arrangements paired with stacks of fashion coffee-table books and the refined but covetable furniture… I’m talking about PR agency AWPR’s Sydney office. Located in Surry Hills, the …
Is there anything better than escaping for a few days to a place of luxury, relaxation and indulgence? It’s hard to beat right? Well when I first laid eyes on this beautiful retreat and spa in the Margaret River Wine Region, Western Australia moved quickly up the ranks in my ‘must visit very soon’ list! I’m talking …
Everything Australian furniture design house Zuster does oozes sophistication and its new collection – Embellish – does this and more, with added elements of exquisite adornment. With a sexy, grown up edge, the release captures the essence of hotel living at its finest. It is Zuster’s first dedicated hospitality furniture range, and the pieces take their cue from high end fashion runways. …
As you all know, finding out the story behind the business is one of my favourite things. I came across Mornington Peninsula-based Kate Walker (of ‘Kate Walker Design’) just recently and – like I think of all working mums out there – I just don’t know how she does it!! With a couple of kids in tow, …
I’m sure we all love the smell and feel of freshly washed clothes. But if you’re anything like me, you get sick of packing and unpacking the clothes rack to dry your clothes, particularly if you’re a little pushed for space (hello apartment living and that spare room for ‘drying’!). This is the inspiration behind …

When an online store goes ‘bricks and mortar’ it’s always exciting, but when it’s a fashion label full of boho luxe prints and fabrics, it’s something else! Spell & The Gypsy Collective was created by Aussie sister duo Isabella Pennefather (who was called Spell when she was young) and Elizabeth Abegg. Featuring floral prints and floaty fabrics inspired …

I love a good story about how a product came to be, and childhood friends George Wilkins and William McCallum of George and Willy certainly have that. Stumbling upon an old roll of butcher’s paper while rummaging through one of their granddad’s boat sheds, the pair created a simple wall bracket to hold and dispense the …
We all know Shaynna Blaze as the divisive judge from Channel 9’s The Block TV show. However, what you may not know is that Shaynna boasts a range of self-designed homewares under her name. The TV star and interior designer has teamed up with The Rug Collection to create an exclusive collection: Woven Simplicity. This nine-piece series of …
