Innholdsfortegnelse for September 2021 i Australian Home Beautiful

While on maternity leave, I loved experiencing Home Beautiful as a reader. Each month, I got to discover new homes, great interiors and plenty of wonderful advice – I can’t thank Katrina and the team enough for creating such beautiful issues while I was out. My time as a reader also made me think of you. Is there anything you would love to see more of in Home Beautiful? Or, is there something you enjoy that you’d like us to keep doing? Drop us a line at homebeautiful@aremedia.com.au – or reach out to me on Instagram @ellelovelock. This issue, we focus on two of my favourite areas of the house: the kitchen and bathroom. From page 151, you’ll find 100 brilliant ideas for both of these rooms. My favourite is…

INSIDE STORY ELIZABETH & JAMES’ HOME WHO LIVES HERE? Elizabeth, an interior consultant; her husband James, who runs a financial technology business; their sons, Freddie, 15, Jonah, 12, and Sacha, seven; plus Crackers, the Jack Russell. WHAT SPACE DO YOU LOVE THE MOST? Elizabeth: “I love the kitchen – it has great light and it’s a fresh space in winter and summer. The family often gather around the kitchen island.” WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE OBJECT? “I love the driftwood lamps in the sitting room, which I bought in an interiors shop in Lake Annecy in France.” ADVICE FOR OTHERS RENOVATING? “Don’t underestimate the budget needed for things such as switches, wall lights, shower tiles, work surfaces, ironmongery, wallpapers, rugs and carpets.”…

Turning onto the unsealed track that leads to her Mornington Peninsula beach house signals cherished downtime for interior designer Belinda and her family. Harry the mini maltese certainly included! “Harry sits up the minute the tyres hit the dirt – he knows we’re almost there,” says Belinda. “He gets so excited!” The spell was cast the first moment she and husband Dan saw the secluded pocket of land guarded by a leafy awning of gum trees. Not even the fact that the postwar bungalow awaiting their inspection had seen better days could dampen her enthusiasm. Quite the contrary. “When we bought the house in 2011, it was an old, salmon-brown fibro shack, but I saw so much potential in it,” says Belinda, director of Gallerie B Interiors. “It was in…

INSIDE STORY AMBER & MATT’S HOME WHO LIVES HERE? Amber, a food and interior stylist; her husband Matt, a lawyer; their daughters Amelie, 13, and Alessandra, nine; Willow the cavalier king charles, Ruby the cavoodle and Lila the ragdoll cat. FAVOURITE FURNITURE PIECE? Amber: “I really like the four-poster bed from CLO Studios. It creates a lovely holiday feel.” WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST SPLURGE? “The pool renovation. It required cosmetic and structural changes, but it was well worth it. We spend most of our time there in summer.” WHAT MAKES A HOUSE A HOME? “Being surrounded by those you love, and sentimental pieces. In our home, framed art by our children features with sentimental pieces we’ve collected on our travels.” WHAT IS YOUR INTERIOR STYLE? “Timeless and relaxed, with a…

There is much more to ‘smart home’ appliances than a talking speaker. It’s 2021, after all – instead, think about to-the-degree precision cooking, transforming televisions and a sleek, steel wardrobe that will smooth out your suit overnight. “Smart appliances are truly life-changing,” declares Marine Pestel, marketing director at Tefal. “Innovations today are based on digital technology, and this new era is opening up amazing possibilities.” That is no exaggeration. From saving time to keeping things tidy and impressing your guests, there are plenty of benefits to behold when it comes to embracing innovation. More than ever, there isn’t a room in your home that can’t be ‘smart’. 1 TRANSFORMING TELEVISION Design aficionados, rejoice! Not only does the latest release of Samsung’s The Frame TV convert to an artwork when it’s…

Few understand the power of the humble bedhead. This underrated style tool can add colour, shape, texture, scale and weight to a room – all without embarking on a major bedroom makeover. “Consumers are increasingly prioritising the bedroom as a sanctuary to unwind, which has given rise to restorative bedrooms, and bedheads help echo this calming and nurturing sentiment by adding colour and texture to a space,” says Heatherly Design founder and director, Georgie Leckey, whose business specialises in bedheads. IN THE FRAME The styling opportunities presented by a bedhead are endless, says stylist Julia Green of Greenhouse Interiors. “They are a brilliant way to frame a space and set the stage for the layout of your room. Bedheads supply texture, depending on what materials are used, and inject personality.…

HERE, GRANITE BASINS AND ANTIQUE INDONESIAN MIRRORS ENRICH THE SLEEK SPACE. 73 “A SIMPLE WAY TO ENSURE A CONFIDENT AND COHESIVE LOOK IS TO EXTEND YOUR HOME’S STYLE INTO THE BATHROOM”- VICTORIA KINGSBURY, SENIOR FEATURES EDITOR A current of grown-up glamour electrifies this alluring bathroom in homeowner Tristan’s four-level apartment in Johannesburg, South Africa. Unafraid to juxtapose materials, finishes and styles, the interior architect concedes he favours a more-is-more approach to design. “You could say I border on a maximalist approach,” he remarks. “My intention is to create immersive experiences. As seductive as stepping into a deep bath in flickering candlelight, the bathroom is a case in point. Here, large-format, wall-to-ceiling tiles evoke a moonless night…

What are the key furniture trends for spring and summer in 2021? Anthony: “Less is more – that is always a good rule. For summer, I have tried to take inspiration from modern desert interiors, where clean forms accented with unique finishes, fabrics or pieces push you towards a more everlasting interior aesthetic.” What is the best decorating or styling advice you’ve ever received? “My grandfather told me, ‘The most expensive item is often the cheapest.’ He talked about how purchasing a higher-quality product would not only bring you more pleasure during its use – it would also last the longest.” Who are your biggest influences? “Mid-century designers like Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier. More recently, European designers are inspiring me, such as Joseph Dirand and Christian Liaigre. Their classic…

For interior designer Katie and construction manager James, the allure of sea breezes and ocean views was too heavenly to resist when they stumbled across this 1970s abode south of Sydney. The beachside setting was the catalyst for their sea change, but the fact that it was in a quiet cul-de-sac was also a drawcard – evoking fond childhood memories of the street where James grew up, in the United Kingdom. As the joint owners of a boutique interior-design venture, Nested Projects, this dream design duo saw the potential to flex their creative muscles with the two-storey, “nondescript house with good bones,” says Katie. They envisioned a modern coastal-style home bursting with natural light and open-plan spaces to share with their son Hudson, seven (who lives here part time), and…

INSIDE STORY BELINDA & DAN’S HOME WHO LIVES HERE? Interior designer and decorator Belinda, director of Gallerie B Interiors; her husband Dan; their daughters Lucy, 16, and Mia, 13; plus Harry the mini maltese. WHAT SOLD YOU ON THE HOME? Belinda: “The location. It’s equal distance to the beach and the lovely village.” YOUR BEST RENOVATING DECISION? “To sand back the original orangey-toned floorboards and give them a limewashed finish. It made such a dramatic change, one that brightened up the entire house.” WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE? “The white timber glass display cabinet, which I’ve had for many years, in the living room. It’s filled with pieces that I love, given to me by friends and family.”…

In the afterglow of renovating, Nikki and Nigel moved into their tszujed-up Eastern Sydney terrace house in December 2019. Halfway in, they tucked away unpacked boxes, hung sheets as makeshift curtains and took off overseas for a month with their three kids, Emma, now 10, Olivia, now 9, and Edward, now 6. When they came back, Australia locked down and the time-old settling in process switched to COVID-era nesting. Plans for custom window treatments needed readdressing, thoughts of languidly shopping for finishing touches pivoted online while working on the garden meant lining up at Bunnings. Through shutdown, the kids home-schooled around the kitchen island and Nigel worked in the attic, which Nikki said was so quiet they had to call each other to talk. On Friday nights, they all cooked…

Elegant. Effortless. Eclectic. French interior design blends the understated beauty of Paris with the rustic charm of Provence, through the telltale design features of parquetry flooring, antique decor, exposed timber, and neutral hues. The timeless style of French interiors is a lesson in unfussy sophistication – and it’s a look that can work so well in Australian homes. “French style can be theatrical, while also showing restraint. I love the playful sophistication, combining bold shapes with a controlled use of pattern and colour,” says interior designer Justin Bishop, who designed this Melbourne home (seen throughout). For a heady dose of Gallic inspiration and expert tips, flick through these striking interiors and fall head over heels in l’amour. Perfect parquetry To harness French provincial style, natural wood parquetry flooring is non-negotiable.…

A lacklustre kitchen is now the beating heart of parents of four Sarah and Jordan’s family home, thanks to a thoughtful makeover by interior designer Lisa Furtado. “The house was built in 1908 and boasted exquisite architectural detailing, but a 1990s renovation left the kitchen lacking charm,” she explains, of the historic beauty in San Francisco, USA. “Our goal was to give the kitchen personality while honouring the heritage of the house.” Without touching the footprint, Lisa capitalised on the room’s generous vertical planes. Floor-to-ceiling storage – complete with library ladder for easy access – optimises functionality without impacting flow in the walk-through space. The compact island accommodates more storage as well as garbage and compost drawers, plus space for stools under the cantilevered counter. “It’s serene, beautiful and highly…

88 IN THE ZONE LINKING AN ENSUITE WITH A WALK-IN WARDROBE CREATES A SEAMLESS DRESSING ZONE. TO UNIFY THE ZONES, HAVE A CONSISTENT PALETTE WITH SIMILAR TONES AND JOINERY DETAILS. There’s a reason the Hamptons beach house from the 2003 film Something’s Gotta Give remains one of the most beloved “movie” homes of all time. For interior designer Justin Bishop’s clients, it inspired the design of their Melbourne home. “The house from the movie really stuck with us and after travelling down America’s east coast and seeing the classic, timeless architecture over there, we knew it’s what we wanted,” says the homeowner. Engaging Justin to devise a similar interior scheme for their home, stunning details and period features were carried through to the couple’s ensuite. “The brief revolved around classic…

AT A GLANCE Who: Catherine Tate, Sydney-based ceramicist. What she does: Takes inspiration from both the rocky terrain of her local beaches and her urban surroundings. Where: Sydney’s eastern suburbs, NSW. Why she does it: “I love that clay has come from the earth,” says Catherine. “And I love purely focusing on doing something creative with my hands.” Visit: catherinetate.com.au; artgalleryondarling.com.au. Follow: @catherinetateartist. You could say that former magazine fashion editor and graphic designer Catherine Tate has the digital world to thank for unearthing her passion and finding her inner potter. Twelve years ago, when she and her husband ran an advertising business, the digital processes left her longing to get back to something more physically creative. “I needed an antidote to all the computer work; to strip things back to making something with my hands…

Finding an abode with open spaces that flow between each other was on top of the hit list when Elizabeth, an interior consultant, and her husband James were looking for a new family home, so when they discovered an Edwardian house in south-west London in 2014 with loads of potential they were delighted and snapped it up. While the home, which they share with Freddie, now 15, Jonah, now 12, and Sacha, now seven, was dated it had good bones and 18 months later it had been transformed into a light, airy home that pays homage to its heritage while having a modern aesthetic. Before this, the family had been living in a converted doctor’s surgery but when their eldest son went to boarding school, the house suddenly felt too…

INSIDE STORY KATIE & JAMES’ HOME WHO LIVES HERE? Katie, an interior designer, her husband James, a construction manager; their children Hudson, seven, and Georgie, five; plus dogs Peggy and Dudley, and chickens Annie and Millie. WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST SPLURGE? Katie: “The custom joinery! It was so worth the cost for all the detail and design.” BIGGEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNT? “Don’t rush! It’s your home and you are the one who will be living in it, so get it right.” WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR SUNDAY MORNINGS? “Lounging on the bench seat in the sun.” TIPS FOR NAILING COASTAL STYLE? “Think calm earthy tones and rattan feature pendant lighting. Also, open living makes it feel like a coastal resort.”…

Stylist Amber Keller admits she’s a city girl at heart, yet the allure of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast prompted her and her family to leave the hustle and bustle of Sydney for a more laid-back pace closer to the beach. “We’d come every summer to visit my husband Matt’s relatives, who live at nearby Sunshine Beach, with our girls, Amelie and Alessandra, and each trip we’d want to stay longer,” says Amber. “We just loved it so much.” Four years ago, they made the permanent sea change and snapped up a little beach house – yet before long another move was on the cards after they discovered the hinterland. “We didn’t know much about the area when we moved here, but on weekend drives to the Eumundi Markets we started exploring…

INSIDE STORY NIKKI & NIGEL WHO LIVES HERE? Nikki, an ex-lawyer turned renovator, and her husband Nigel, an executive at an energy company; their children, Emma, 10, Olivia, nine, and Edward, six. WHY AN OLD HOUSE? Nikki: “We love the soul of Victorian architecture so this was a natural fit.” TIPS FOR MAKING FAMILY LIFE WORK IN A NARROW SPACE? “Storage is vital. The banquettes all have storage and we have big drawers near the TV for toys and games.” ANY BUDGET WINS? "Our curtains. We couldn’t get anything custom made because of COVID but found ours at Pottery Barn and they are perfect."…

The laundry is arguably the hardest-working room in the house and yet, traditionally, the design of this essential utilitarian zone has rarely been approached with as much care and consideration as our living or bedroom spaces. After all, it’s just the washing machine, dryer, sink and some cupboards, right? Not so. The way we view laundries is changing. We’ve collected some of the best design inspiration, layout advice and interior design techniques to equip you to dream up and create a laundry that’s as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of your home. From space-saving and storage ideas to appliance integration, we’ve got you covered. HOLDING PATTERN Colour, pattern and texture harmonise in this Sydney laundry (above) by interior designer Lisa Burdus. “I wanted the laundry to look and feel like…
