Innholdsfortegnelse for January 2020 i Australian Home Beautiful

INSIDE SCOOP Confession time: I love a peek inside someone else’s home (apparently I’m in the right job) – such as when your friends finish a reno or buy a new house and you get that first look at what they’ve done inside. It’s so much fun, seeing how people express their style, how their old furniture lives in their fresh space, what furniture pieces they invest in… But it’s even better when it’s a celebrity – someone you feel like you know. So we’ve dedicated ourselves to star power this month – and we get to see how the other half lives! Four of our favourite homegrown celebs and their families invited Home Beautiful to come and visit, and it is our incredible privilege to share their havens across…

Like so many wanderlusting Europeans, Danish-born Nilla, who now calls Australia home, stuffed her backpack and set off on an adventure to the other side of the world in search of vast sandy beaches and never-ending summers. The young traveller couldn’t have known that she’d never really return to her former life in Denmark’s oldest town, Ribe, on the small country’s west coast. Love and marriage followed, and soon there were children too. “My then husband and I did move back to Denmark for a while, but when my eldest daughter [Sofia] was one we returned to Australia – first to Gerringong and then Noosa,” says Nilla, who is also mum to 22-year-old Emma. A chef devoted to clean, seasonal cuisine, Nilla soon opened her first cafe – Vanilla Food…

Styling her own home can be an exercise in contradiction for fashion creative Zoe. While the Byron Bay-based mum-of-three may aspire to be a little bit minimalist, she’s an unabashed maximalist with a penchant for vibrant hues. Happily, in the sunny light of day, Zoe – who with husband Jimi co-founded the joyously bold women’s resortwear label Mister Zimi – allows her passion for colour free rein. “I always set out to create something that is more minimal and pared-back but, as the process happens, it again ends up being very colourful,” says Zoe, adding with a laugh, “and I guess that’s just me! Our house is one of the most colourful in Byron.” She continues: “Many of the homes in the area at the moment seem to have a…

there is much to love about the renovated and freshly decorated inner west Sydney home of Kiwi captain and all-round NRL favourite Benji Marshall, his media personality wife Zoe and the couple’s super-cute curly topped (nearly) two-year-old Fox. Take the personalised “The Marshalls” welcome mat out front, the chic, soothing palette throughout, a fabulous black and white photo wall near the entranceway, filled with family memories, and then there’s that gorgeous garden out back that looks like it’s been there for decades. Yet, there is one feature that holds a special place in this family’s heart: the strikingly cute wallpaper from Kingdom Home that graces little Fox’s room. Here, a little fox (hello, Fox!) looks up towards a tiger, (that would be Benji, who plays for Wests Tigers.) But for…

The great outdoors is fully embraced in Michelle and Troy’s Queensland home. Weekends revolve around the water – whether it’s a dip in the pool, throwing a fishing line off their jetty, or taking the boat and jet skis out on the river with twin daughters Jemma and Jade. Entertaining is also a casual alfresco affair, often a barbecue lunch with friends and family before kicking back on poolside loungers. For the couple, who grew up in South Africa, it was this relaxed lifestyle that enticed them to relocate to the Gold Coast 15 years ago. “One of my sisters had moved here and, every time we visited, we fell more in love with Australia and now it’s home,” reflects Michelle, a stylist. Having renovated several homes on the coast,…

Long days, balmy nights and chilled vibes – they’re the perfect ingredients for a relaxed summer in the garden. But, it’s also one of the toughest seasons for your plants. Little rain and extended periods of hot and dry weather can really take a toll on greenery. “It’s important to care for your plants during this time, not only so they stay alive, but so they look great as well,” says horticulturist Matt Carroll of Hortiman. Good preparation is crucial, no matter how large or small your space. We’ll walk you through the key steps to help guarantee your garden is set for summer. “IRRIGATION CAN BE AN EXCELLENT WAY TO USE WATER MORE efficiently ON THE GARDEN, BUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WITH CONSIDERATION. IN THIS CURRENT CLIMATE, IT’S…

AT A GLANCE Who: Karina Jambrak, illustrator and graphic designer. What she does: Hand-draws vibrant artworks inspired by nature. Where: Sydney, NSW. Why she does it: “I’ve always loved drawing, ever since I was little,” says Karina. “For me, it’s like a therapeutic kind of exercise. It just relaxes me.” Visit: karinajambrak.com. Follow: @karina_jambrak. > At the beginning of 2019, illustrator Karina Jambrak made a New Year’s resolution to pursue her love of drawing. “I thought I’d just take it and run with it, really give it a good crack,” says the Sydney-based creative, whose cheerful disposition is reflected in her colourful, hand-drawn designs. While New Year’s resolutions are often quickly forgotten, Karina made the leap from working a conventional day job to illustrating full-time. “I was just ridden with anxiety,” the artist admits of the…

they may be one of the AFL world’s star couples, but daily life on the farm for Cats dual premiership star Tom Hawkins and wife Emma is delightfully down-to-earth – albeit, on occasion, a little inconveniently! Take the time the imposing full-forward found himself attending to a cow giving birth, just before he was due to head to Geelong for a match. “Tom was out in the paddock trying to deliver the calf for an hour that morning,” reveals Emma, laughing. “It wasn’t the usual game preparation!” Adds Tom: “I didn’t really want to share the tale with my teammates or coaches before the game, so I waited until after I’d played and we’d won. It was definitely a unique experience.” Not that Emma and Tom would have it any…

i n the remarkably productive world of The Project’s Gorgi Coghlan, there is no such thing, it seems, as a too-hard basket. Not only is the delightful mother-of-one a classically trained singer and accomplished stage and screen performer, she’s a former high-school science teacher and state-level equestrian competitor. And with her husband Simon, she is also now a hotelier and restaurateur overseeing Ballarat’s acclaimed The Provincial Hotel and its Lola restaurant. “I’m happiest when I have lots on,” she says with a smile. “I love a full and dynamic life.” But for the talented Gorgi, recently revealed to be none other than ‘The Monster’ on TV’s wildly popular The Masked Singer, it’s her latest creative outlet that is currently bringing her untold joy – watching her garden grow and flourish.…

As the place where you snuggle or sprawl, celebrate, and catch up and cosy up, the living room is one of the most welcoming spaces in the home. But to preserve the calming and comforting effect, a sense of store and order is essential. “The living area is now a place for multiple activities, from eating and relaxing, playing and entertaining,” explains interior design leader Christine Gough of Ikea. “This increases the demand for smart storage, which is important, because knowing that things are tidy creates a sense of wellbeing.” Read on for our expert tips on how to keep the clutter under control.…

Today’s bathrooms are more than simply wash-and-go zones. They’ve evolved into a sanctuary in the home and are now more beautiful than ever. “People want their bathroom to provide an experience and offer an escape from the everyday, so they’re looking to finishes which evoke a certain mood and feel,” says designer Ania Forster of Zephyr & Stone. Tiles are key to achieving the perfect backdrop, with their robust, easy-care appeal matched with myriad design options. We take a look at some of the latest trends to covet. SHAPING UP The latest looks inspire homeowners to make a big impact, with smaller format mosaic tiles such as studded penny rounds, hexagonal, fan and arabesque shapes coming to the fore. Use these shapes in a floor-to-ceiling feature and pair with classic…
