Win tickets to my seminar with Darren Palmer at decoration + design next week

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

I can’t wait to get to Melbourne for decoration + design next week! Are you coming?

Interior designer Darren Palmer (of homeMADE and The Block fame) and I are giving a talk at the International Industry Seminar Series. Called Harnessing the Power of Social Media and PR to Grow Your Business, the title is pretty self-explanatory! We’re looking forward to it and I’m delighted to have 5 tickets to give away.

I also have 10 tickets to give away to lighting designer Beau McClellan’s seminar, Designing on an Epic Scale. He will draw on his experience of working on the largest luminaire in the world, Reflective Flow, to examine the design process, from commission through to concept and completion. This seminar will explore new advances in LED technology which push the boundaries of lighting design.

To be in with a chance of winning a ticket to either seminar, please comment below with which seminar you would like to attend and why. If you’re happy to win tickets to either, you can write that too. You must be registered to attend the trade fair to attend one of the seminars.

Think you can't have a gorgeous plush white sofa l Think you can't have a gorgeous plush white sofa like these for practical reasons?

WRONG!

These stylish and super comfortable options from @jameslanedesign all have removable slipcovers, some which attach with Velcro for extra ease of taking them on and off. And you can even choose a polyester, viscose and linen blend or 100% linen. And chuck them in the wash at home! There's even an ivory boucle version with fully removable and dry cleanable covers!

And in good news for those in apartments, smaller homes or with tight entries or stairs, two of these are modular which makes moving them is a breeze.

So you CAN have it all! Hoorah!

Do you have a white sofa? Would you get one with removable and washable covers? 

Let's face it, a white sofa is a classic!

Colour hug, anyone?! A collaboration with design Colour hug, anyone?!

A collaboration with design studio Nexus Designs, this palette from the new @haymespaint colour forecast is perfect for those looking to create a tranquil environment and has a particular focus on darker shades.

“Inspired by the qualities of an intimate reading room, confident and expressive colours such as Florida Everglade have a muted depth that embody this. Balanced and subtle, it’s also invigorating and luscious. Through all over application, paired with contemporary furniture and styling, this colour and the broader palette plays with tactility, translucency, reflection, and form,” says Myra Murtagh of Nexus. 

See the rest of the colour forecast, include collabs with @adairs and TikTok favourites @joshandmattdesign on the blog homepage now, via link in bio.

Featuring in a Block "disaster" room nevertheless Featuring in a Block "disaster" room nevertheless paid off for artist @adoni.art 

Slammed for being too small, @kyleandleslie's living room was otherwise praised by the judges for being beautifully styled.

"In terms of using it as a marketing platform it’s been amazing," he said. "Even for people who don’t follow the show it’s validation that they are following an artist that’s levelling up. The exposure has translated to sales, traffic and attention and it’s everything I wanted because I’m about to launch a new collection.”

Real reno: How's this for a luxe bathroom?! Natas Real reno: How's this for a luxe bathroom?!

Natasha from QLD recently finished a major reno of her Queenslander and this is her favourite room of all. We can see why!

She used @beaumont.tiles  Lux Calcutta slabs in gloss the wall and matt for the floor.

 "We have infused a Hamptons style whilst still remaining true to the traditions of old Queenslanders," she said. "Our bathroom is north west facing and captures such great morning light. We wrapped the cabinetry all the way along the vanity for ease of access for the bath, towels and accessories. We tiled all the way to the ceiling to create a more luxurious space. It's my favourite room in the house!"
