Interior design and styling, homewares, furniture, home appliances and the personalities behind them
There’s no doubt that Hobart has undergone a cultural renaissance over the last decade and now boasts some of Australia’s best food, wine, art and design (it's particularly impressive when you consider the population is a diminutive 207,000). And one person who has been part of that transformation is Lucy Given, the owner and creative director of …
With its origins in sustainability and the simple living movement, the tiny house trend has been bubbling along for a while now and this latest one, located in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney, is a real treat. Sitting on 16 acres, the house is only 2.5 metres wide but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in …
It’s pretty safe to say that BIG W isn’t exactly synonymous with glamour but that looks set to change with the arrival of the store’s latest home release ‘Dark Wonder.’ With a dash of mid-century, more than a splash of Art Deco, industrial influences and plenty of on-trend 1970’s inspired colours, the range is as fabulous as it is eclectic …
The latest offering from Carpet Court is, rather interestingly, all about walls! ‘Elevate’ is a new collection of purpose-built timber wall panels that has been developed with the DIY market in mind.

Located within walking distance from the beach, this stylish surf shack themed Queenslander can be found at Crescent Head on the NSW mid-north coast – six hours from Sydney and a favourite spot for surfers. Named after the iconic surf movie ‘Big Wednesday’ the three-bedroom cottage features pastel stained-glass and intricate timber detailing but …
Online crystal purveyor Rachel Crethar, of Rock & Co, has been friends with stylist Briar Stanley since high school so when they teamed up with Pottery Barn to overhaul Rachel’s lounge room recently, it came together seamlessly. “I have known Briar since I was 13 years old, she is one of my best friends and I have always loved the eye she has …
In an environment of declining retail figures, we’ll admit we were pretty surprised to hear that the Scandi online homewares and furniture purveyor Designstuff has made the move to bricks and mortar. Opening its doors last month in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, the move was (rather interestingly) in response to consumer demand. “To be …
Sponsored by IKEA Kasia Rettig's bedroom-slash-home office was cluttered due to too much stuff and not enough storage. It was about as far from a relaxing sleep sanctuary as it gets!
