“GET BACK TO NATURE WITH SOFT COLOURS AND ORGANIC TEXTURES” ~ Tilly Roberts, HB junior stylist SPOTLIGHT ON: australiana style INSPIRED BY OUR OWN FLORA AND FAUNA, TWO LOCAL ARTISTS ARE REDEFINING CLASSIC AUSTRALIANA Australian artist and designer Kate Swinson, inspired by her childhood home in rural Victoria, has introduced Little Native, a collection especially designed for children, to her Native Swinson textiles range.

“A DUSTY PINK WILL ENHANCE OTHER HUES AND ADD A SENSE OF WARMTH AND COMFORT”~ Rachel Peters, HB senior stylist…

WHILE FINE FOOD and the alluring white sand beach might be reason enough to visit the South Australian enclave of Glenelg, a string of spectacular retailers among the bars, restaurants and boutiques on the lively high street should certainly sweeten the deal. 1 | Lightbox Gift and Home Once a humble card shop, Lightbox Gift and Home now boasts a huge collection that ranges from cards and gifts to homewares and even fashion. “We want what’s in vogue,” says manager Jennifer Jericho. “We are unpacking and bringing in new stock on a weekly basis.” That focus means it’s the place to go for the latest and greatest in prints, pots, cushions and candles – whether they are artisan crafted or in high production. “We do love to bring in Australian-made…

FLOOR PLAN For Sally’s husband Scott, moving to a holiday town on the southwest coast of Western Australia was a childhood dream. “Scott’s family were farmers in the area, so he’s camped here since he was a child,” explains Sally. “We lived on a property only 10 minutes away, but would camp here every Christmas for two weeks.” For Sally, though, it posed a serious aesthetic dilemma. How would the warm, ethnic style of her sprawling Moorish-style home translate to downsized beachside living? Sally, Scott and their two daughters, Phoebe, 18, and Ginger, 14, were happily living among evocative Turkish and Moroccan textiles when this property – an old, classic stilt holiday home sitting on a hill – became available in the seaside town. “I actually hadn’t wanted to move,…

THE ENTERTAINER Homeowners Bree and Jonathan’s striking yet relaxed Melbourne abode is as welcoming as the family who call it home. White and grey form a dream team in the living room (below), particularly with pops of pink and blue. The Moroso ‘Phoenix’ coffee table is paired with a Molteni & C ‘Turner’ sofa, chosen, as Bree says, “because it’s big enough for the whole family and a few extras”. Beckoning at the end of the shimmering pool is a Gandia Blasco ‘Chill’ daybed with a reclining backrest, layered in colour thanks to Basil Bangs cushions from Fenton & Fenton. “The kids thought they were on holidays when we first moved in,” says Bree. “The pool is a great size and gets so much use in the warmer months.” KITCHEN…

1 ALL IN THE WALL Vertical wall panelling delivers a vintage vibe, while a gold rail adds visual interest and a little bling. 2 COLOUR PALETTE Pastel pink, a pop of green and cool, contrasting teal form the ultimate feminine power palette. 3 HANDLE WITH CARE Slimline modern handles dress the doors, setting the style tone for this inspiring interior. Here (right), a blush pink handle is cleverly offset by charcoal on the opposite side, offering visual balance. 4 LIGHT IT UP Each chair is illuminated by a row of wall sconces. Beautiful and practical, they bring a touch of Hollywood glam. 5 VANITY STYLE A wall-hung vanity carries the curve motif seen throughout the salon, softening the design. A palm tree enhances the Californian aesthetic. 6 CURVES AHEAD A…

AT A GLANCE Who: Clémentine Campardou and Casey Languillon of Charlie Green Studio. What they do: Create pressed-leaf effect, botanical-inspired wall art. Where: Bondi, Sydney. Why they do it: “I’ve found it harder to keep plants alive in small apartments, but I love having them around,” says Casey. “I think greenery makes a house a home.” Visit: charliegreenstudio.com.au. PEOPLE SAY YOU SHOULD never mix business with family, but Clémentine Campardou and Casey Languillon – who are related through their husbands – couldn’t disagree more. For the two Bondi-siders, it was only a matter of time before they joined forces to form Charlie Green Studio, where they utilise their talents to design intricate botanical wall art that harks back to the pressed-leaf effects of yore. “We both love design and being…

A WARM WELCOME Between work commitments and the rush and rumpus of family life, Channel Seven presenter Kylie and her husband, Tony, wanted their architecturally designed home in Sydney to be a cocoon of calm. A timber boardwalk leads to an extra-large front door, waxed for a lovely raw patina, which swings open wide in welcome. “It’s like the lipstick on the house,” says Kylie (pictured with her dogs, Pepe and Tilly). “It’s the first thing people notice.” The stylish homeowner has filled her home with vignettes of subtly beautiful pieces and treasures (opposite), often found on the couple’s travels, as well as pretty, locally sourced pieces, such as ceramic fortune cookies from The Society Inc. the lowdown KYLIE GILLIES Who lives her? TV presenter Kylie Gillies; her husband, Tony,…

the lowdown KRISSY MARSH Who lives here? The Real Housewives Of Sydney’s Krissy Marsh (pictured); sons Billy, 14, and Nicco, 12; daughter Milana, nine; and poodles Bondi and Bronte. Favourite item at home? Krissy: “My children, then my dogs – not always in that order. I also love my Chinese ceramic piece in the bathroom.” Any gifts from the Housewives? “Victoria [Rees] bought me a beautiful Helmut Newton book and Matty [Samaei] gave me one of her beauty pillows. And there’s always vodka from Victoria!” Top decorating tip? “Stay true to yourself, take your time when buying new items, and surround yourself with great memories and things you love.” In the heart of Sydney’s luxurious harbourside suburbs, in a three-bedroom home that cleverly combines Chinese elements with a Hamptonsinspired aesthetic, dwells The Real…

LIVING ROOM The custom ‘Soul’ rug by Bayliss in Silk Worm and a deep-buttoned bespoke ottoman in Zepel Fabrics ‘Aspen’ in Ink anchor the living zone furniture as a central hub, with electrical sockets placed in the floor under lamp tables to hide trailing cords. The real fireplace is one of Sarah’s favourite features, even if it doesn’t get much use in Brisbane’s subtropical climate. “You can’t replicate the movement and drama produced by a real fire,” she says. The sandstone surround includes recessed nooks for firewood, and ties in beautifully with the colours in the ‘Sanctum’ artwork by Lisa Taylor King. Sarah, Tom and their children – Henry, 11, Alister, nine, and seven-year-old Lucinda – were quite happily ensconced in a contemporary Brisbane home when a chance driveby changed…

style vs function To prevent your hall becoming a dumping ground, populate the space with practical pieces, like a bench for putting on shoes. “Ensure you have a console table or wall shelf, or some stylish hooks,” says stylist Chris Carroll of TLC Interiors. Use your furnishings to introduce the style of your home. “It’s somewhere to reflect the look of the rest of the home and to create interest,” says Natalee Bowen of Indah Island. be brave and bold Though your first instinct might be to play it straight in a small space, there’s life beyond basic blanc. “Patterned wallpaper is a gutsy move in an area like a hallway, but it’s a move that’ll pay off,” says Chris. “Because you’re not sitting and looking at it the way…

BRIGHT BEAUTY This striking kitchen, a study in chic American East Coast style, combines beautiful marble and classic panelled cabinetry in 2-pac Dulux Natural White in a satin finish, which provides a wealth of concealed storage options for the family. “We ummed and aahed over whether to have glass cabinets here, but I really like the uniformity of this look,” says homeowner Kate. “We went for no handles on these cupboards, which also gives a very streamlined look.” The elegant bar stools were a savvy online find; for similar try the ‘Corey’ model, available from Just Bar Stools. CABINETRY Old meets new with panelled cabinetry – a classic feature of the Hamptons look. “We wanted the tradition of this type of door, but with a slightly more contemporary vibe,” says…

swaps Leaves Any delicate baby salad leaves can take the place of spinach. Seeds Use lightly toasted pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds – or a mix – instead of buckwheat. swaps Veg Use young green beans or halved radishes in place of the baby carrots and/or mangetout or sugar snap peas instead of courgettes. Leaves Replace the spinach with lettuce leaves or sorrel, or use a leafy mixture of all three. Herbs Swap the chives and parsley with other soft herbs such as basil, chervil or mint. SUMMER VEG SAUTÉ Serves 2 A medley of young veg, sweated down in a frying pan then finished with lemon juice and herbs, is one of my favourite summer meals. It’s a super-simple dish, with the veg added in stages – depending on…

ART HOUSE Gavin Wanganeen’s home could easily have been a sports museum displaying the accolades of the former professional AFL player’s 16-year career. Instead, the walls are adorned with colour and art and tell another story; one of his new calling as an artist. While his finished works, including ‘Wildflowers On Wardang’ (opposite), are on show, it’s on the dining room floor that they begin to come to life – and with three small children around, that’s no easy feat. “I think Lulu’s first words were, ‘Daddy’s, don’t touch’,” quips Gavin (pictured) about his inquisitive three-year-old. the lowdown GAVIN WANGANEEN Who lives here? Former AFL star Gavin Wanganeen; his wife, Pippa, a model/presenter; their daughters, Kitty, four, Lulu, three, and Posey, one; Gavin’s children Mia, 17, and Tex, 14; plus…

In the limestone-paved alfresco area, an ‘Omnia’ concrete dining table and replica Philippe Starck ‘Aha Prince’ stools – all from Sokol Designer Furniture – provide a natural hub for the couple and visitors alike, while the lap pool is the place to be in summer. the lowdown ZANA & GIANNI Who lives here?

1 DIGITAL DETOX Make it a rule that, at certain times of the day, electronics are banned – no phones, no screens, no TV. Mealtimes are perfect. “Gather around the table to share a dish together, resist technology interrupting and use the time to engage with loved ones,” suggests Tilly Roberts, Home Beautiful junior stylist. Pop the phone away at night-time, too; studies have shown the light from screens can disrupt our ability to drop off quickly, and affect the quality of essential sleep. 2 CONTEMPLATION Create a tech-free space in your home to which you can retreat to read, meditate or relax. If possible, choose a spot with an opening window and good natural light. “Selecting light linen or sheer curtains, instead of heavy shutters, can also help bring…

INSPIRED BY ADJACENT BUSHLAND and a nearby lake, this tranquil Perth garden, a clever mix of entertaining and lounging zones, offers a green haven where indigenous species marry with exotics against the relaxed, earthy canvas of a newly built home. Landscape designer Paul Smith took on the challenge of designing and constructing the garden – completely from scratch – with his Tim Davies Landscaping colleague Tristan Peirce. “There are a lot of low-level shrubs, ground covers and succulents that combine in intricate layers to create the feeling of a natural landscape, whilst remaining easy to maintain,” explains Paul. Webb & Brown-Neaves, the company that built the home, offered Tristan and Paul free reign with an open-ended design scope – a dream scenario for any landscaper. Letting their imagination run wild,…
