Will this be our favourite blue for next year?

By Amy Collins-Walker •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

US paint brand Benjamin Moore has released its 2024 Colour of the Year and it’s a beauty. An intriguing blend of blue and violet, ‘Blue Nova’ sits somewhere between periwinkle and a true denim but it has more depth than both. 

“Blue Nova CC-860 is an alluring mid-tone that balances depth and intrigue with classic appeal and reassurance,” says Andrea Magno, colour marketing and development director.

To celebrate, we’ve rounded up a series of ‘Blue Nova’ inspired homewares perfect for adding a touch of blue to your abode.

Aura Home luxury velvet cushion in bijou blue: Pure cotton velvet with a linen reverse, this luxe cushion is finished with the brand’s signature gold zipper. $79.

L & M Home Klein vase set: Available individually or as a three-piece set, each of these vases is hand painted with sweeping brushstrokes and has a matte chalky finish and internal glaze. Inspired by Yves Klein blue, we love! $125.

House of Nunu Double Trouble cup set in blue: This beautiful pair is made from heat resistant borosilicate glass and has durable, double wall construction ensuring your tea or coffee stays warmer for longer. $79.95.

Jumbled X Robert Gordon Australia Whirlwind side plate: A collaboration between Jumbled and Robert Gordon, this gorgeous piece is the ultimate side plate. Whether used for bread and butter or a delicious dessert, these hand crafted, hand painted plates add a lot of personality to a tablescape. $45.

Brand new furniture in an 1877 house and IT WORKS! Brand new furniture in an 1877 house and IT WORKS!

@castleryau have named the talented stylist @stevecordony as their first Australian brand ambassador and he's curated a capsule of their furniture which he styled to perfection at his stunning country house @rosedale_farm 

I was lucky enough to see the pieces in situ last week and I honestly couldn't believe how well it all worked! They were going for accessible luxury and well, he delivered, and then some!

Head to the blog via link in bio to read more about the partnership.

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

Head to the blog via link in bio/stories for all the suppliers as well as a look at the powder room with its bold wallpaper 😍

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!
