How I styled a Point Piper house with ALDI Special Buys

November 7, 2016 Leave a Comment

Facebook0Pin00Email0Tweet0

Sponsored by ALDI Australia

Styling a waterfront house in one of Sydney’s ritziest suburbs entirely with ALDI Special Buys might sound like a tall order but it was a surprisingly easy! I teamed up with the supermarket on this exciting project last week and I have to say, I’m pleased as punch with the results.

Come on in to ‘the ALDI Special Buys house’ in Sydney’s Point Piper

I’ve been a long time ALDI shopper and I love the thrill of the latest Special Buys catalogue as much as the next person. I had no idea how many different things you could buy via Special Buys though, and this was the whole premise behind teaming up with ALDI. We showcased around 300+ products in the house, from furniture to bed linen, small appliances, toys and ski wear. Some of the items, like a queen size upholstered bed ($229), washing machine ($229), clothes dryer ($249), garment steamer ($89.99), gold cutlery ($29.99), 65-inch ultra HD television ($799) and replica Eames lounge ($349) have already been on sale this year and others, like a coffee table, chests of drawers ($89.99), bedside tables ($39.99) and children’s single bed ($99.99), were sneak peeks of what’s coming in 2017.

Cushions ($16.99), throws ($16.99), the ottoman ($39.99), premium coffee table ($69.99), melamine tray ($7.99), champagne flutes ($9.99 for a set of six), cook books ($12.99) and table lamp ($49.99) are all ALDI Special Buys.

I love a genuine bargain, and by that I mean good value not cheap and disposable, and I believe that’s what you get with ALDI. It really resonates with Interiors Addict’s ‘style without the snobbery’ ethos.

You really can furnish your entire home with ALDI Special Buys if you have your finger on the pulse and watch out for what’s coming up via the catalogues, app or email newsletter (Special Buys are announced just a week before they go on sale on Wednesdays and Saturdays and are there until they sell out). You’ll have heard the stories about people queuing up to nab a bargain so don’t hang around!

The kitchen was my favourite room in the house. From the vintage style mint microwave, kettle and toaster (similar in a different colour will be available soon) to the copper pans and utensils, Expressi capsule coffee machine and professional grade blender, it all looked so fabulous together!

Popular Special Buys are often repeated so I'm hoping that happens with these gorgeous copper pans!

A room I think you’ll love is the cute kid’s room. We furnished it for under $450 (thank you to Sack Me! for lending us the linen). This kid’s bed will be out next year for just $99.99 and available in white, blue and pink, along with this fantastic $89.99 chest of drawers arriving in 2017. The teepee and wooden toys are so cute!

In the master bedroom, the hero was the grey upholstered queen bed, a snip at just $229. A mattress was available for $249 too and this bed also came in single, double and king sizes. What I loved about this styling job was that the ALDI Special Buys products didn’t look out of place in this expensive Sydney home, which says a lot about their quality.

This $39.99 bedside will be available early next year. And how cute is the gold lamp?

In the bathroom, we literally had everything you could ever need from the towels ($8.99) and mosaic bath mat ($14.99), bin ($13.99), hair straightener ($19.99), hairdryer ($19.99), digital scales ($12.99) and laundry hamper ($29.99), from Special Buys. These were complemented by ALDI’s everyday grocery range of skincare and cosmetics.

In the laundry we had appliances, steam mop ($69.99 and new for 2017!), ironing board ($39.99), clothes horse ($19.99), steam cleaner ($39.99), vacuum ($99.99) and much more!

aldi_special_buys_point_piper-00005

And we even went so far as to set up a home office/gym with everything down to an office desk($79.99 and new for 2017!) 3D printer ($499) and elliptical trainer ($299) and an amazing outdoor space with trampoline ($149), pizza oven ($199), wicker dining set ($399), daybed ($169) and more!

This $199 pizza oven flew off the shelves

I'm actually a big fan of the contrast you can achieve by only tiling part way as @naomifindlayofficial has here in her Carrington House reno. And she topped them with an @intrimgroup chair rail to give a finished look.

It's a great time to be an interior designer! Wou It's a great time to be an interior designer!

Would you agree?

The latest @houzzau industry report found that residential design and construction professionals are very optimistic about business prospects. Interior designers and decorators were the most optimistic about revenue growth in 2022 among those surveyed, followed by home builders and building designers. 

A third of businesses reported that they were looking to hire more staff this year which is great news for jobseekers. 

The only negative finding was around the rising cost of doing business. One of the most significant factors was the price volatility of productsand  materials.

All in all though, it's a great time to be in the design industry. If you are, do you agree? Please drop us a comment below🙏

Boys' wardrobe makeover for under $500🤗 Anyone Boys' wardrobe makeover for under $500🤗

Anyone else have those basic as built ins in an older house with a hanging rail and nothing else?! Not exactly great use of space or ideal for kids' clothes! 

We replaced the doors on all our wardrobes years ago but the internals behind were still pretty lacking. I recently made much better use of space in here with 2 @flexistorage flatpacks from Bunnings. They fit perfectly with easy access and 4 drawers and 3 shelves each is more than enough for kids. We attached them to the inside of the wardrobe so they're safe and sturdy.

They're $209 each and then we cut down a  brass wardrobe rail to create 2 hanging rails in between. They can even reach the bottom one themselves. I labelled Seb's too so he knows where to find things quickly.

Before this we were using those hanging shoe racks. The worst!

TA-DAH! SO MUCH BETTER USE OF SPACE!

But a few styling tricks with everyday objects can take the space next level and add interest, warmth and personality.
