Interior design and styling, homewares, furniture, home appliances and the personalities behind them
Situated on a tiny 183 square metre block, in the inner-city Perth suburb of Mount Lawley, creative design solutions were top of mind when designing this gem of a home. “We wanted to provide as much floor space as we could which meant the block didn’t have the typical ‘backyard’ outdoor space. In order to create a usable outdoor space, the idea …
Another fabulous development by the team at Sydney’s FutureFlip, this expansive new townhouse is one of three that sit on a corner block in Caringbah South. Home to a downsizer couple, whose children have left home, this townhouse was chosen by its owners for its luxe yet low-maintenance credentials. “They wanted something that was …
Located one block back from the coast on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, this home provides quite a contrast to its neighbours – a ramshackle array of fibro holiday shacks. But the streetscape is slowly changing as more and more people make the sea change. “Recent times have brought many more permanent residents, and the newer housing in the …
The inaugural Inside Out Brickworks Home of the Year awards took place last night with a stellar line-up of Aussie houses singled out for their design originality.

Ten years ago, the former Wallabies rugby captain Stephen Moore bought a block of land, on a sought-after street, in the Brisbane suburb of Paddington.

There’s nothing old-school about this beach pad – it’s a clean-lined formation of raw concrete and exposed brick located on the Bellarine Peninsula, on Victoria’s surf coast. Home to a retired …
Nestled in the historic Perth suburb of East Fremantle, this heritage-listed workers’ cottage was transformed into a modern family home with the addition of a super modern extension. Nero Marquina marble, concrete floors and gloss black timber stand in contrast to original home's raw, matte finishes. The project was the winner of the “Best in …
We’ve featured this fabulous Noosa home before but today we’re taking a more in-depth tour of its resort-style, award-winning bathrooms. “They have the vibe of a luxury hotel – I wanted each bathroom to be a place to unwind after a busy day,” says the home’s architect Sarah Waller. The chic, monochrome spaces complement the home’s minimalist …
Black and white interiors are perennially stylish, and this Sydney renovation proves, yet again, just why. Home to a family of five, and located in Neutral Bay, what was once a small, dark and dated federation cottage has been transformed into a monochrome, light-filled and functional family home by March Twice Interiors. “We …
The inaugural Design Files Design Awards were handed out last week with Matt Woods Design taking out the ‘Interior Design’ award for its beautiful Sydney apartment project ‘Perfect Storm’.
