AT A GLANCE Who: Amanda Callan and Andrew Morris of Church Farm General Store. What they do: Create soaps and sauces using natural ingredients from a parcel of land in northern NSW. Where: Billinudgel, NSW. Why they do it: “I love working with all of the materials – the herbs, flowers, essential oils, clays,” says Amanda. “They are all such beautiful raw ingredients and being able to transform them into such a useable product is awesome.” Visit: churchfarmgeneralstore.com. Just like the ingredients that make up their products – from soaps to sauces and curry pastes – the evolution of the Church Farm General Store has been truly organic. When Amanda and her musician partner, Andrew, started growing extra produce in their front yard, they created a roadside stall that comprised…

Creating a beautiful space has always been a breeze for homeowner Debbie – and it all starts with black, grey and white. As far as the design enthusiast is concerned, there can be no such decorating crime as monochrome overload in a home, or anywhere else for that matter. “Most people call me ‘Black, Grey, White, Repeat’,” she says with a laugh. “If I turn up at the gym in anything else, they say ‘Oh Deb, we didn’t recognise you!’ But I just absolutely love those colours. They’re clean and neutral and go with everything.” Debbie’s decorating skill and her ability to work the classic palette is just fine with husband, Scott. “She has that gift of walking into a place and being able to imagine how good it could…

INTO THE WOODS Architect Mathias and his wife, Sonja, used seven different types of timber in the lakeside home they created for their family. The result is a welcoming and sustainable cottage that blends in with the surrounding environment. The exterior (below) was built with aspen wood, which has already turned silvery grey, and the decking with Douglas fir. The living area (opposite) shows the home’s natureinspired palette, and features furniture Mathias inherited from his grandmother (the coffee table and sofa), as well as one of the few pieces the couple bought new – the ash and canvas Nikari ‘December XL’ chair, available from Finnish Design Shop. WE LOVE... woodwork walls Timber panels line the interior walls and ceilings of the home, bringing warmth to the lofty open-plan space, as…

IS THERE ANYTHING as lovely as slipping out of bed in the morning and wriggling your toes through a plush bedside rug? If there is, it would have to be taking your shoes off at the end of the day and enjoying a velvety carpet beneath your feet as you sink into a sofa. Carpets are a significant purchase, and although they are an enormously tactile part of our homes they are not changed or updated often, while rugs are a simple solution to warming a cold floor. Here we show you how to make the right choice for your room. materials NYLON: “This is a popular carpet fibre that has an outstanding ability to resist abrasive wear, heavy foot traffic and is strong against pile crushing, making it perfect…

THE ALLURING GLOW of a flickering flame conjures a sense of comfort and romance. When the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than gathering around a fire to warm the body and soul, and it is particularly coveted for the wonderful atmosphere it creates. “The ever-changing flame is simply captivating, and wood-burning fireplaces also produce a fantastic aroma and crackle to delight the senses,” says Guillaume Roux of heating specialists Oblica. We’ve rustled up everything you need to know when it comes to selecting and styling a cosy fireplace this winter. Fireplace regulations 101 When planning to install a fireplace, either inside (left) or outside (below & opposite), do your homework – regulations vary depending on the state you live in. “Councils usually require approval for the type of fireplace added…

DON’T… Fake it This EuClad silvertop ash shiplap (try Barwon Timber) is the real deal. While some products can imitate genuine raw materials, ensure they give you the exact colour, texture and rough-aroundthe- edges feel you want. DO… Think about safety Consider the needs of your family and any potential hazards. “Polished concrete is hard-wearing but also hard,” says interior designer Rebecca Pountney of Yellow Letterbox. “It’s unforgiving if anything is dropped on it and this is vital to consider if you have young children.” Don’t forget about materials such as exposed pipes, which could be a serious hazard around little ones, too. DO… Look at what you’ve got Can your home carry off the industrial look? After all, exposed pipes and metal beams may not work in a low-ceiling…

Gather around To maximise bench space in the kitchen of Troy and Bec’s home, the breakfast bar joinery cinches in to let Chen Zhiyi ‘Pollux’ stools from Matt Blatt tuck under. ‘Husk’ pendants from Beacon Lighting turn the overhanging bench into a dining moment. INTO THE BLUE Overhead cabinets in a soft blue and pastel-hued Smeg appliances set a relaxed mood in the kitchen (above, below & opposite). As interior designer and House Rules mentor Carolyn Burns-McCrave explains, the beauty of this blue is how it sits with the Caesarstone benchtops in Fresh Concrete and cabinetry by Probuilt Kitchens & Joinery in Polytec Washed Oak and Crisp White. “Always put your samples together to ensure you have the right tone of blue,” says Carolyn. “Too much warmth can make it…

time to sparkle A dinner party is the perfect excuse to get out the good crystal and your best silver cutlery for a night of luxe celebration. We’ve set the scene with our country manor decorating feature on page 34, so read on to discover the menu. GRILLED BUTTERFLIED LAMB WITH QUINCE GLAZE Serves 6-8 . cup red wine 2 garlic cloves, crushed 100g quince paste, chopped 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, extra sprigs for garnish 2 x 1kg butterflied lamb legs Salt and cracked black pepper, to season 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp cornflour 1. cups beef stock Steamed buttered vegetables, to serve 1.

COOL CABINETRY A wall of mirrored cabinets with lots of storage keeps the countertop of this family bathroom clutter-free. The frameless shower (seen in the mirror) is designed to virtually disappear. “It made sense because it doesn’t become a dominant element,” says architect Briony Darcy. “Being glass, it’s functional but allows the rest of the bathroom to feel generous in size.” DESIGN TIP One of the most luxurious elements is the sheet of honed (highly polished) Arabascato marble (try CDK Stone) used for the splashback to boost the five-star ambience. “It’s probably a luxury in a bathroom but is incredibly practical as well,” says Briony. CLOUD FLOATING Set into a sunken area, the Decina ‘Lago Dolce Vita’ 1795mm acrylic bath (try Tradelink) floats against 600mm x 600mm ceramic tiles (for…

The reinvention of the year goes to Japan’s luxury car brand, Lexus. The LC 500 has a sexier look and more exciting drive, courtesy of its V8 engine. It hits the local market this month. In the same-same world of small SUVs, Subaru’s XV is a beacon of individuality. The always brightly coloured XV combines its luxurious interior with genuine off-road ability. Drop date is mid-2017. The fabled brand’s first-ever SUV arrives later this year. Named for the alpine road that climbs out of the tiny Italian town of Bormio, the Stelvio is beautiful to behold.…

winning letter As soon as I saw the dark and moody fireplace wall and wooden shelves on the front cover of the June issue of Home Beautiful I knew I was in for a treat – and sure enough it didn’t disappoint. When I came across the Queenslander belonging to homeowners Violeta and Alan, to say I was in a state of euphoria was an understatement. I devoured every page over and over and even jumped on the internet to track down those divine paper camellias in their dining room. Thanks again HB for giving us the opportunities to explore new ideas for our homes. Leanne Jennings, Goondiwindi, Qld, via email the dark side I’ve been renovating my house, and Home Beautiful has been my constant inspiration. I’m able to…

natalie marie jewellery “I’m not much of a designer in the sense of planning. I’m much more hands on. I get into working with the materials and see how it evolves. With the bespoke pieces, it’s obviously more specific; that’s more about what the client is looking for and how that is developed between us. Often people send me beautiful notes, and that’s definitely the highlight. You know it’s going to be part of their story and eventually be handed down to their kids.” Visit: 11-13 Avalon Parade, Avalon, NSW, (02) 9443 2426. Open: By appointment only.

THE STEPNEY end of Magill Road in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs has long been a haven for preloved finds – but since 2000, it has also welcomed covetable furniture, gorgeous giftware, unique homewares, slick design studios, fresh flowers and buzzy cafes. Home Beautiful first popped into the area four years ago – today, the bustling main road, just three kilometres from the CBD, brims with even more interiors inspiration, making it an ideal place to lose an afternoon. STOP 1 | Aura Objects Authentic and progressive are just two words to describe Magill Road’s latest furniture showroom, Aura Objects. Directors Simon Zappia and Lesley Williams, who have a long-established design cred in Adelaide, have joined forces with consultant Richelle Martin to create a 300-squaremetre gallery-style store. It has creations from international…

SOUNDS OF NATURE Birdsong often echoes through Kelly and Nick’s lush garden (opposite) and makes for the ultimate auditory relaxation when combined with the crackle of the fireplace in the couple’s cosy living room (below). A cowhide rug (for similar, try Zanui) ties in perfectly with the pared-back aesthetic, as do the white slip-covered armchairs from Coastal Living. The stunning French candelabra, which was installed by the previous owners, hangs above. “I love sitting here in front of the fire,” says Kelly, pictured with her husband, Nick, and Marli, the family’s labrador. The spell was cast the moment homeowner Kelly first made her way up the gravel driveway, under a dappled awning of silver birch and oak trees. By the time she reached the house, tucked among the rolling countryside…

take a pew Casting decorative rays of speckled light onto the bluestone crazy paving is a sublime black steel arbour and floating bench seat. It is surrounded by a pittosporum hedge with a ground cover of perfumed gardenias, and is one of Jenni’s favourite features in the garden. “It’s absolutely gorgeous,” she says. WHETHER IT’S CURLING up in front of a crackling outdoor fire on a chilly winter’s evening or spending an afternoon savouring the sights and smells of spring and summer, there’s always something to enjoy in Jenni’s new garden in Melbourne’s inner-east. This backyard retreat offers an array of delights year-round. “It has made such a wonderful difference to how we use our home,” says Jenni. Indeed, the decision to fully redesign the outdoor area – including the…

THERE’S A LOT to love about kitchen islands. Given their prime position, “island benches work wonderfully in tying together an open space,” says interior designer Olivia Cirocco of GIA Bathrooms & Kitchens. “They are the connection between the dining and family room, as well as the kitchen.” With incredible choice in style, finish, sculptural shapes and cantilevered joinery, it’s also the perfect centrepiece to inject bespoke beauty to take your kitchen to the next level. PAYS TO PLAN When sizing up for your island, Chris Ruffe of Bondi Kitchens suggests assessing your kitchen’s available space and imagining how you want the bench to look and feel. “Being such a strong design element, size is key to the kitchen’s aesthetic and functionality,” says Chris. “We recommend a benchtop between 900mm and…

BATHING BEAUTY Loveliness fills the country Victorian ensuite of homeowner Lesley and her partner, Richard. A timber vanity contrasts beautifully with walls painted in Dulux Ghosting (above), while an alluring wall divider clad in pre-primed Ezitrim (from Moorooduc Timber & Hardware) and painted with Dulux Weathershield in Black (finished with a coat of Quantum Microclear to assist with moisture protection) melts into the space (opposite). There is also an Apaiser ‘Mosman’ 1700mm stone bath in Snowdrift and timber accents such as a Coastal Living ‘Mushroom’ stool. “I love black and timber together,” says Lesley. “It gives depth and a sense of naturalness.” The 225mm x 175mm window brings in the view. “It would have been a missed opportunity for us not to put in a window and lose that feeling…

HEAT AT A HEIGHT A tall heated towel rail – for similar, try the Radiant 1100mm x 430mm 10-bar ladder from Bathroomware House – adds to the ensuite’s appeal (left & bottom) and is a popular luxury on chilly winter mornings. Classic meets contemporary in the gorgeous pamper zone of Sofia and George’s home in Melbourne’s western suburbs, with hotel-worthy fixtures and fittings shining against a timeless palette of charcoal and white. Yet, while this ensuite boasts many picture-perfect design features, there is one that wins hands-down for Sofia. And with good reason. “I love the small white tiles in the shower and above the vanity because they remind me – in shape and size – of a Kitkat,” says Sofia, referring to the gently variegated Inax ‘Yohen Border’ Japanese…

DESIGN TIP The right bathroom lighting is crucial. “You won’t want to relax in a bath under harsh, bright lights,” says decorator Alix Helps. “A fabulous feature light can provide enough glow and add a nice touch. Equally, you need brighter light near the mirror.” One of the first things decorator Alix Helps did when transforming this dated 1990s bathroom into an elegant haven was to change round the floor plan, and reposition the door which hit the shower frame every time it was opened. A large, clunky bath was removed and a spacious showering zone – complete with rainfall shower – was created at the other end of the bathroom, far from that door. Homeowner Edwina, a beauty therapist who shares her home on Sydney’s upper north shore with…

“These warming tones make us happy to hibernate for the winter” ~ Tilly Roberts, HB junior stylist…

NATURAL STATE There’s nothing more inviting than a welcoming home that exudes a sense of calm. Christine and Michael’s gorgeous living room perfectly captures this vibe thanks to the divine furnishings, which include Jardan’s ‘Nook’ sofa in Hampton Storm, that provides plenty of seating for the couple and their three children, and a pair of ‘Rex’ armchairs from MCM House. “The main brief was that everything had to be super comfy,” says homeowner Christine. The living area directly connects the dining room (opposite) to the outdoor space. KITCHEN Unsurprisingly, given Christine and Michael’s business background, the kitchen designed by Nobby Kitchens (above & opposite), is an entertainers’ paradise. Four Baumatic ‘Studio Solari’ ovens, including a microwave, two pyrolytic ovens and a steam version – “the kids are obsessed with steaming…

LIGHT & SHADE Sunny days are sorted in the bayside home of Janelle, Jeremy and their sons, Samuel, eight, and Elliot, seven (all pictured). The new pool and spa (opposite) get regular use by the clan, who also have the beach on their doorstep. “We go for walks on the beach all the time,” says Janelle. A composite wood screen from Biowood Australia wraps across the second-floor extension and over the roof of the alfresco area, drawing the eye upward and creating shade. The home is clad in CSR’s Cemintal panelling in Urban Grey, while the pool, which edges the living-room windows, was designed by Laguna Pools. Super-sized stepping stones in an exposed aggregate mix by Outwest Concrete in Batman, lead to the alfresco area. HALLWAY Awash in natural light…

Aimee and Frank Tarulli and Matt Daly’s know-how and decorating nous is showcased in the stylish yet family-friendly ‘Neville Residence’, one of Thomas Archer Homes’ display homes, just 30 minutes outside of Melbourne. “We really wanted this home to be a reflection of the way a modern family would live and use the space,” explains Aimee. “The design was carefully considered to allow a connection between the shared spaces, and to also give separate areas for a family of varying ages. The finishes have been selected to give a big wow-factor while keeping the budget affordable.” Here, Aimee and Frank walk us through the show home, to explain how they designed living zones with easy functionality and a welcoming sense of style at their core. “I LOVE helping PEOPLE TRANSFORM…

the bas ics Start by thinking about what you’ve got, what you need and – most importantly – what you want. Sleek benchtops for folding, a cool feature sink and chic storage are all must-haves for a glamorous space – as is a state-of-the-art washing machine, one that not only looks the part but lets you do more in less time, so your space stays tidy longer. “Doing laundry every day or every second day can become a chore, so a bigger-capacity machine, of 10kg or above, can mean fewer loads throughout the week,” says senior marketing manager Brad Reed of home appliances at LG Electronics. Less chaos and carefully chosen design and decor make all the difference. “Clean lines and a simple colour palette with as little clutter as…

THE RUNDOWN When their mother suggested it was time to leave the nest in 2011, identical twins Andrew and Jono, now 27, scrambled together their savings to move out of home. The Western Australian brothers, who were then both at university, took their first step on the property ladder in the form of a 1970s has-been in the centre of Mandurah, about 70 kilometres south of Perth – close to the beach and within reach of the train to university. “It was pretty rough, but we bought it because it was a good price and location,” says Jono, who is now a primary schoolteacher. Andrew, who is a community AFL coordinator adds, “It wasn’t so much a dream home but a good home.” With a kitchen and bathroom that had…

NO MATTER HOW much money you pour into a makeover or renovation, if your space isn’t lit properly, you’ll never get a truly homely feel. The right lighting can be a powerful tool; with the flick of a switch – or the swipe of a smartphone – you can create an ambient glow to transform the mood of a room or conquer the darkness precisely where you need maximum visibility. Illuminate yourself with our expert guide to getting your lights right. No 1 EXPLORE THE POWER OF WHITE Choosing the right white is as important for your bulbs as for your walls. “White light varies by colour temperature to produce either a cool or a warm output,” says Simon O’Donnelly of Philips Lighting. “Cool white light is ideal for task-focused…

THE RUNDOWN Home to Aaron, 31, and Daniella, 38, and their two sons, Jaxon, three, and Brooklyn, one, this Queensland oasis is poised to host many sunny childhood memories. When the couple bought their patch of Gold Coast waterfront – with its lime-green kitchen and pastel-pink bathroom – they had surely struck real estate gold. It was, as Aaron puts it, “the worst house on the best street and the darkest house in the sunniest state”. With his skills as a carpenter and dancer Daniella’s creative nous, they knew that the structurally solid house promised sunnier days ahead – although they could never have anticipated just how imminent their brighter future would be. In just seven days, their fellow House Rules teams fast-tracked the renovation plans, stripping back the house…

CONCRETE CONNECTION Custom-made in a charcoalcoloured resin and composite stone from Natural Stone Bath Factory, the concrete-look bath and matching vanity top with integrated moulded basins (opposite, top) work in perfect harmony. “I knew that Pam and Bert would love the texture and concrete-likeness of this bath,” says interior designer Carmel Wylie. When it was time to choose the palette for their new bathroom, Melbourne homeowners Pam and Bert knew one thing – pale and shiny was not on their radar. Instead, the couple – parents to son Xander, six, and daughter Alannah, five – took a leap of faith into the dark. “They’re just not white-bathroom people,” says the bathroom’s designer, Carmel Wylie of GIA Bathrooms & Kitchens. The couple’s ensuite, last updated 15 years earlier, was ripe for…

DESIGN TIP Installing plantation shutters over the window allows garden views and much more. “Using them instead of frosted glass adds another layer of texture and interest,” says interior architect Sally Rhys-Jones. “The homeowners can vary the light and levels of privacy.” MULTIPURPOSE VANITY The vanity in homeowners Lucy and Matthew’s main bathroom has stain-resistant countertops in Quantum Quartz from Central Coast Granite stretching to the wall and over the bath, for maximum bench space. It also makes room for double semi-inset basins (try the Kado ‘Cirque’ from Reece), which allow the couple’s young sons easier access than abovecounter models. The hero of the cabinetry by joiners Galley Kitchens is a corner drawer with a mesh bottom. “The drawer pulls all the way out and clears the bath’s lip,” says…

PURE BLISS A deep, dark Apaiser ‘Reflection’ 1800mm freestanding stone bath is the star of homeowners Julie and Rob’s bathroom. “Pure white ceramic would have looked too sanitary, but this has a more organic look and feel,” says designer Patrick Meneguzzi. Julie adds, “My three adult daughters use it when they are home and we even have the grandkids in there.” The scene is completed with a RAM ‘Yeva’ bath mixer from Reece with hand shower. DESIGN TIP The near-essential ingredient for the dreamiest of bathrooms is a spectacular, well-placed bath, according to designer Patrick Meneguzzi. “The central placement of the bathtub, under the plantation shutters, ensures symmetry in the room,” he says. Mud-brick homes are often associated with basic amenities – but that can’t be said of Julie and…
