Last night's kids' room reveals were more enjoyable than I expected. Much as I personally, as a mum, enjoy the fun of decorating a children's room, they don't always make the best TV. You can't really showcase the luxury, glam and gadgets you can with, say, a master bedroom. But I was pleasantly surprised with all the great ideas the contestants …

How gorgeous are these bamboo plates from Emondo Kids?! A platypus and a a frill-necked lizard are among the other designs. Also a great gift idea if you're wanting to buy something Aussie as for a …
Until recently, the Aussie toy kitchen market offered pretty slim pickings for design lovers. I should know as I was shopping for a play kitchen around two years ago and was left feeling wholly uninspired by what was on offer -- think loud colours and a plethora of plastic. But it seems that all of that has changed and many of the latest iterations …

After moving into a new home in 2015, Perth’s Jen Farr relished the opportunity to create her ultimate pad, and built a significant Instagram following as a result. “I had never built before so it was a dream come true to be able to do a custom design to suit us and to choose all our own fixtures and fittings.
