What’s your decorating style? I don’t mean the aesthetic, but how you develop the interior of your home. Do you change up the look regularly? Or are you a decorate once and love it forever kind of person. I have a foot in both camps. A perk (or hazard!) of working at Home Beautiful is that we see so many products and design influences, it’s hard not to buy into every new look and try it at home. It’s also precisely this reason that I regularly remind myself to stay true to the my own decorating ethos. To paraphrase Marie Kondo, when making a purchase, I ask myself, do I have a place for it? Will it bring me joy? And does it really work with my style? I bring…

The vision of raising their children on a block surrounded by a eucalypt forest was all the encouragement Melanie, co-founder of interior design studio Ivy + Piper, and Stuart, a doctor, needed to move out of Brisbane just over 10 years ago. “We started looking at Toowoomba’s beautiful character homes,” says Melanie. “I love an old home and we found this one, which was on four-and-a-half-acres, very close to town and surrounded by gum trees.” In 2012, the couple moved into the 1941 Queenslander with their oldest daughter, Penny, who was a baby at the time. “Every room had different carpet and, being from Brisbane, we immediately ripped them all up,” recalls Melanie. “Then we had our first Toowoomba winter, which was freezing, and quickly thought, ‘Oh, that’s why they…

PAINT COLOURS MAY VARY ON APPLICATION “THE GLAZING BARS ADD ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST AND TIE IN PERFECTLY WITH THE AMERICAN BARN STYLE” With 20 new home builds under their belt, interior design team Heather Gampe and Sarah Jobse of Oak & Orange were keen to push the creative boundaries and take a different direction for their most recent project. The result is a two-storey American barn-style home in the NSW Hawkesbury Valley, which makes a stylish statement on its semi-rural corner block. The striking black and white exterior pops against fresh green landscaping, while inside, warm materials and textured furnishings create a welcoming sanctuary for the lucky family of five who live here. “Our biggest goal for this house was to infuse it with a warm and inviting ambience, steering clear…

Two levels, both alike in decoration and design, make up this stunning holiday home for a married couple and their three adult daughters in NSW’s Port Stephens. Unlike most multi-storey homes, each level of this build is entirely self-contained, meaning the family is able to enjoy shared experiences while still having their own space for quiet moments, or to entertain their own guests. The kitchen and dining area on the upper floor comfortably services six people, with a balcony and barbecue perfect for hosting more intimate parties. This design left interior designer Lisa Burdus with a fairly unusual task. How do you renovate a smaller, secondary kitchen without making the space feel less impressive than its larger counterpart? For this Italian-inspired interior, the trick was maintaining the same luxe material…

Being a gardener in the springtime is an enchanting experience. The cold of winter has faded away and the garden is awakening with bursts of vibrant colours and fragrant scents. Whether I am sowing seeds or tending to delicate blooms, I find immense joy in witnessing the magical transformation of bare earth into a flourishing oasis. With bustling activity in both the flower beds and vegetable patch, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and dig into the long list of springtime tasks. Last time, we explored the process of sowing flower seeds – this month, let’s dive into how you can create your own vegetable garden. The edible garden Warmer weather combined with frost-free nights brings the vegetable garden into full swing. Whether you have a large plot for…

Butter beans with roasted cherry tomatoes Serves 4 Source the larger butter beans, or judiones, for this, if you can. They’re softer, more buttery and much creamier than the smaller ones (which come in a tin). This dish works well as part of a mezze spread, or can be eaten as it is, with something like crumbled feta or olives on top. 500g cherry tomatoes 85ml olive oil 1 onion (150g), finely diced 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 tsp dried oregano 2 tsp thyme leaves, roughly chopped, plus a few whole thyme leaves to garnish 1 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and lightly crushed 1 fresh bay leaf 80ml dry white wine 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 x 700g jar of good-quality butter beans, drained and rinsed Salt and black…

THE NEW CLASSIC There is no palette as timeless as black and white. Even after centuries of use, this pairing has versatility. “When you think of monochrome you think of something modern, striking and hard,” says Elle Lovelock, HB editor-in-chief. “This has softness, teamed with a rustic touch that’s ideal for a modern farmhouse look.” Here, gingham is the crowning glory. While chequered tiles have been popular on bathroom floors since time immemorial, using this pattern on upholstery marks a point of difference. Black and white gingham bedheads, blankets, cushions and sofas calm the contrast between these opposing hues. Monochrome artworks arranged in a grid echo this pattern, while swathes of dusty blue form soft undercurrents that tie the aesthetic together. “The blue works as a neutral to ground the…

INSIDE STORY Barbara’s home Who lives here? Barbara, who uses this home as her Melbourne base when she’s not at her country property in the Strathbogie Ranges. Favourite space in your home? Barbara: “I use the back area, with the kitchen, dining and sitting room, all the time. I can close it off with the new steel doors, which makes heating and cooling easier.” How do you like to entertain? “I have the formal dining room, which can seat the whole family, but usually it’s not very formal – I put things out on the kitchen bench and people help themselves.” Any surprise inclusions? “I would never have thought to put a Zip Water tap in, but Amy convinced me I would use it often, and of course I do…

Having a beautiful bathroom makes a big difference to feeling buoyant about your home. It should suit your style as much as your lifestyle. Used by you alone, children, guests, friends or relatives, plenty of pondering goes into it. There are tiles, basins, light fittings and fixtures to select. The layout will make or break the functionality, with smooth traffic flow to consider. You’ll need to decide on a built-in or freestanding bath, single shower or double. To help you design your dream bathroom, we spoke to Luli Farrell, co-founder of ABI Interiors, and the designers behind the bathrooms on these pages to get their expert tips. STYLE NOTES Let that sink in “We love undermount basins as the style doesn’t date and the benchtops become minimal with the focus…

With balmy spring evenings upon us, it’s no wonder lush, outdoor zones are high on many of our wish lists. When beautifully designed, dressed and illuminated, our alfresco living and dining areas, entertaining spaces, kitchens, splash zones and even the humble entrance can become stages for moments of magic. To bring you the best design advice and inspiring ideas, we chatted with the experts for your guide to the ultimate outdoor glow-up.

“IT’S QUITE CLEVER – BY PAINTING THE WALLS RED, YOU CAN MAKE WHITE FURNITURE THE FOCAL POINT. IT’S FRESH AND CURRENT. RED IS THE PERFECT BACKDROP” BOLD & BRAVE The unexpected red theory swept the world of interiors this year, declaring that a random pop of red in any room will surprise and delight. Renaissance red elevates this theory to a regal and sophisticated level. “Specifically, this is a deep claret that has had a renaissance,” shares Elle Lovelock, HB editor-in-chief. “It’s a rich, burnt burgundy that you’d see in 15thand 16th-centur y paintings.” Instead of adding one red feature into your space, aim for a more enveloping, bold and cosy integration. To avoid overwhelm, create balance and harmony by matching the specific shade of red to under tones in…

EARTHLY DELIGHTS There’s nothing quite as calming or revitalising as the inherent beauty of our natural world. From fresh flowers to red-speckled leaves and bundles of ripe fruit and vegetables, the gifts found in our gardens are one of life’s simplest pleasures. Kitchen garden decor understands this, taking timeless botanicals and adding them to our decor, in a move that is as sustainable as it is stylish. “It is a trend but it’s also just a nice way to style what you already have,” explains Lucy Gough, HB stylist, of the effortless appeal. The approach can be literal, with baskets or vases of vegetables freshly plucked from the garden, used as decorative arrangements that are perfect in their organic imperfections. But the introduction of nature-inspired patterns elevates the theme. “We’ve…
