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 …
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 …

There’s nothing better than coming across a brand that is unapologetically itself. No cookie cutter shapes, designs or colours. In a world where designers seem to be getting their works duplicated constantly and so many stores look the same, it’s a real treat to find a brand with a strong identity: I’m talking about Weylandts. Founded …

The earthy palette is a new take for the team and is inspired by “the regionalist art movement that depicted the beauty, honesty and isolation of rural life in New Zealand”.

I have a little challenge for you today. You know how our mood can change after going on a walk in a park or along a beach? I don’t know about you, but I feel such a huge sense of calm when I escape into nature and just slow life down for even just 20 …
It’s always refreshing to see new products on the market, especially when they come from the ‘little guys’ – local designers carving out their own way in the retail world.

We all love a bit of Scandinavian. Scandi furniture, Scandi styling, Scandi cool. So like me, you’ll be pretty excited to hear that a new Scandinavian furniture store is coming to Melbourne! Huset, which means “the house” in Swedish, offers “a comprehensive collection of originally designed, European made furniture and home accessories created for the discerning customer”. I …
There’s no arguing that Australia is blessed with one of the best climates in the world. Even in winter, midday temperatures are sufficiently pleasant in most areas that you can enjoy the odd barbecue outdoors with family and friends.
