When ceramic artist Cinnamon, her husband Scott and their children, Tide, 17, and Minty, 15, started to outgrow the ’70s worker’s cottage the couple had owned for nearly 20 years, they had to decide whether to renovate or move. Renovation won out, as they realised how much they loved the village feel of their northern Gold Coast suburb. “It’s hard to replace that sense of community,” says Cinnamon. “It’s close to Scott’s work, the kids’ schools – and, importantly for me, only a two-minute walk to good coffee!” The plan was to retain the aesthetic of the single level, pitched roof cottage but add a second storey to house the bedrooms. Unfortunately, height restrictions dictated otherwise, and the best solution resulted in a flat roof. “This completely changed the look…

When the owners of this lush garden envisioned their garden, they had called for simplicity – wanting a design that incorporated “tiered hedging and a garden of layers created through foliage texture and colour contrasts,” says Chris Maddams, the landscaper who worked on the project. But, as things progressed, the desire for a bit of colour grew. Now, a palette of green and white with splashes of purple brings vibrancy and a jolt of colour in measured doses. Created to snatch views of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, the glass pavilion that intersects the garden was the starting point for Chris. “The architect’s aim was to create a floating platform for the pavilion,” he explains. With the architectural mass rooted into the garden, dividing its length in two,…

While kitchens are the engine room of the home, the pantry is a vital cog that keeps the entire space humming. From the breakfast rush to the midnight snack, a well-designed pantry will simplify daily meal preparation and take the stress out of hosting. It provides accessible storage for food, cooking staples and appliances, and can help keep kitchen clutter out of sight. And the benefits don’t end there. Tired of fumbling for spices in the dark or unearthing out-ofdate sauce bottles? With clever design and spatial planning, you too can have a functional pantry that serves you and your family well. TYPES OF PANTRIES Larder. Scullery. Store. Pantries go by many names and take many forms. A narrow or shallow cupboard incorporated into the kitchen joinery suffices as a…

Adding a new shade to your home with a lick of paint can completely alter the aesthetic of an area, whether it’s a bright bolt of colour or the introduction of a new neutral. We’ve picked from a range of rich hues set to take off this year, with expert tips from Dulux colour & communications manager, Andrea Lucena-Orr, to help inspire your next room transformation. Moody blue Try: Dulux Decoration Blue (right) Use it in: Kitchens, living areas and bedrooms, on walls or kitchen cabinetry. You can also use it on window and door frames for extra punch. It makes you feel: The shade is strong but soothing and it makes a space feel cosy and contemporary. “This blue is so beautiful. Use it generously and with confidence,” says…

Braving the colossal tourist ferries that cut across the Aegean Sea at lightning speed is no easy task for those prone to sea sickness (ahem). But once the sea spray settles and your island destination materialises on the horizon, all is forgiven – especially when your first sight is an impressive marble doorway standing six metres high. Built during the 6th century BC for an unfinished temple dedicated to the Greek sun god Apollo, the landmark perfectly frames the whitewashed Chora (main town) that rises into view behind it, welcoming travellers to the best-kept secret in the Greek archipelago: Naxos. Despite covering 430 square kilometres and being the largest island in the picturesque Cyclades group – which is made up of 220 islands in the southern part of the Aegean…

I absolutely adore the summer holidays. Life seems to go by at a slower pace and everything from what we wear to how we entertain feels more casual. One of my favourite things to do is host lunches. And I relish in the planning. My advice: come up with a menu that is easy to prepare and serve so you can spend more time with your guests. These days it’s all about fancy pizzas at our place. (We got one of those portable Gozney pizza ovens and it’s a game changer! It takes up barely any room and the pizzas are divine.) My favourite salad is simply mixed lettuce, blue cheese and crushed hazelnuts with a dressing of hazelnut oil and sweet red wine vinegar. Even the blue cheese un-enthusiasts…

For Noosaville-based ceramicist Kim Wallace, Christmas is a particularly magical time of year as it conjures childhood memories of growing up in the Netherlands. There, the festive season revolved around making the home warm, cosy and beautiful. “As it’s so dark and cold, there were always lots of candles and lights, a real tree and special table settings layered with thoughtful handmade touches and elaborate dishes Mum would only cook at…

Being one of the hottest months, January can bring some challenging growing conditions. But, there’s still plenty to do in the garden this time of year, and I don’t just mean watering! Gardening is my favourite way to savour the peaceful moments before heading back to busy post-holiday routines. Following new growth in spring, this month will provide you with the most amazing blooms and abundant produce. But before we get into that, let me first remind you of the importance of watering and mulching at this time of year. The right mulch will help your plants retain moisture and protect their delicate root systems, while a good early morning or late afternoon drink will help make sure your garden has what it takes to survive those hot summer days…

Under the trees Few celebrations are more memorable or magical than those set in the great outdoors. Flip to page 28 for recipes, pile an alfresco table high with delicacies and let your gathering linger long into twilight. Try filling baskets with beverages so those with wanderlust can roam. Three cheers Give guests a few different beverages to choose from, with classic bubbles for the grown-ups and fresh juice for the little ones. Arrange the bottles in an ice-filled champagne bucket and encourage your friends and family to top themselves up.> Clothe your setting with textiles, starting with a sumptuous tablecloth, then add layers with napkins and a bold runner. Finish with snuggly throws so you can settle in after sunset. CHOCOLATE & ORANGE CANNOLI PHOTOGRAPHY BRIGID ARNOTT STYLING CORINA…

WE LOVE... lush lawns The verdant, manicured and low-mow lawn is a focal point that perfectly offsets the home’s white exterior. “As the area can be quite shady, ‘Sir Grange Zoysia’ was chosen as it handles low light well and has a lovely fine blade,” says landscape designer Andrew Munro. “To help establish a strong, healthy root network, we prepared the site with a deep layer of sand under a quality underturf blend.” Real estate listings are often heavily seasoned with superlatives, but when this Brisbane home came on the market it truly was a ‘rare find’. The 1930s Federation-style bungalow sits on an elevated quarter-acre block with extraordinary sweeping views of the city and hinterland Scenic Rim, which could be enjoyed from the swimming pool or while having a…

For Brisbane couple Ashley and Chad, Bali has been their go-to travel destination to escape the day to day, soak up some sun and unwind. Year after year, they’d return to their favourite villas nestled among sprawling pools flanked in dense tropical greenery. Yet the arrival of their daughters, Asta, 5, and Maya, 2, coupled with the pandemic put a halt to regular trips. “With travel off the cards for a while, I wanted to create a home with many of the features we loved about Bali villas to give us that holiday feel year-round,” recalls Ashley, whose background in fashion and real estate proved a great skill set to conceptualise the design. The couple were inspired by the island’s modern, minimalist villas infused with natural light, organic materials and…

However you usually use your spare room – as a home office, workout studio or simply a dumping ground for clutter – come the advent of visitors, it’s time to transition to a space as inviting as any stylish accommodation. Luckily, with our expert advice, that’s surprisingly easy to do. From the initial deep clean to the final decorative flourishes, here’s your plan of action. CLEAN AND CLEAR “Start by thoroughly cleaning the room,” says interior stylist Samantha Torrisi at ESS Creative. “Dust, vacuum and wipe down all surfaces. Get rid of any unnecessary clutter and make sure there is room for your guests to store their belongings. Clear out some wardrobe space, or provide empty drawers or a shelf.” “ADDING GREENERY to a bedroom can BRING LIFE, FRESHNESS and…
