MIX IT UP Bunny tails, money plant, statice and native craspedia are all perfect for dried floral displays. You will need • A length of timber. I used clear pine but you could use a piece of driftwood or a salvaged piece of timber. If you’re buying from a hardware store, ask them to cut it to the desired length • Handsaw or jigsaw • Measuring tape • Pencil • Sandpaper • Dried flowers • Drill and 2mm drill bit 1 Decide the length you want the base timber to be. Measure and cut using a handsaw or jigsaw, or get this cut at the hardware store. This one is 800mm long. 2 Sand all the cut edges on the wood to smooth. 3 Have a play around with the…

The laundry has overgone a radical transformation over the past few years. Once a forgotten, hidden room, it’s now celebrated as a space of design and utility. Whatever your needs are, whether it’s small space living, or having to hose down a dog and three kids after football in the garden, we’ve got the updates and ideas you need to know about. THE LATEST IN LAUNDRY TRENDS NERVES OF STEEL Will McCallum, co-founder of George & Willy says he loves thick stainless-steel benchtops in laundries, which remind him of a commercial kitchen and promote functional, heavy-duty design. “I think it’s always better to choose timeless materials that you have always loved rather than ones that may be having a moment, which you may regret,” he says. Stainless steel is known…

Call it a reaction to Scandi minimalism and quiet luxury, but the OTT Mob Wife style has real groundswell. It’s not about just dressing like Carmela Soprano or Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, but also decorating with the same heavy-handedness. We’re calling it crime scene chic. + You absolutely adore animal print. Not just because a faux leopard coat goes with cushions, bedding, plates – everything really. And you can’t wait to get your Louis XVI-style chairs back from the upholsterer in cheetah. + You’d kill to get your hands on a Versace dinner service. Well, you wouldn’t actually do it yourself. + You’re mad for gold (it’s faux but that is beside the point).

These days, it seems like everywhere you turn, someone’s raving about the wonders of gratitude. And hey, they’re onto something – feeling grateful can totally boost your mood, put a sunnier spin on life and help you press pause on the constant quest for “more”. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. Have you ever tried to jot down all the things you’re thankful for, only to end up feeling kind of flat or guilty instead? Yeah, me too. In my own personal experience, practising gratitude doesn’t always come naturally. In fact, it usually feels forced. Countless times, I’ve written, “I’m thankful for my home, health, awesome kids and partner”, only to feel as though it isn’t truly sinking in. Perhaps, like me, your gratitude list is not giving you the…

Who created it? Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1958. Who was he when he was home? He was an unapologetic modernist, who was almost pre-ordained to be create. His father was an architect who moved the family from Finland to Michigan in the US in 1923, when Eero was 13, to teach at Cranbrook Academy of Art. His mother was a textile designer. Eero went on to design the CBS Building in New York, the Gateway Arch in St Louis, the American embassy in Grosvenor Square and the TWA Flight Centre New York’s Idlewild Airport (now a hotel) – for starters. So how did he come to design something far less grand than a building? Well, he detested what he called the “slum of legs” under dining tables and wanted…

Laundry is one of my least favourite chores, it’s right up there with getting a mammogram. I throw the laundry in the washing machine, add some detergent, start the machine and get out until it’s time to put the washing in the dryer. Once it’s dry, I grab the clean laundry and get out. Job done. No loitering for me, carefully ordering the laundry balls, folding towels or ironing sheets. I’d rather be in my kitchen tenderly stirring my risotto. But I get the appeal of laundry love. It’s a smallish room that is relatively easily to create order and a sense of style in while showing your family you care by washing their socks. It’s also easily tackled, compared to an expensive kitchen reno – another reason to love…

Moving house or big renovations are great for injecting new style into your home life but for most of us that is not an option. The good news is, often a few minor changes are enough to make a space look fresh and on-trend. It’s all about knowing your interior style and working with it to enhance a home. We asked our editors what they’re updating in their own abodes to ensure they’re magazine-worthy. Fiona Hawtin Your Home and Garden Editor “As the editor of a home magazine, I’m always tempted by the new and now. I may live in a ’70s split-level house but instead of being midcentury, my home is more a celebration of different styles such as French vintage sale with a bit of Moroccan riad and…

Rugs are an interior designer’s secret weapon as they’re able to transform a room in an instant, anchor a room, create cohesion, connect spaces and define areas. Here are some of the ways to use them at your place. WHY RUGS? To define a space Open plan spaces can be tricky to carve out distinct spaces so using a rug will visually define an area. A classic example is an open-plan kitchen/dining/ living area. Putting a generous rug under your dining table and chairs signals you’re in the dining room and breaks up a sea of floorboards or tiles. CUT A RUG Lighter colours increase the illusion of space and darker shades will add warmth when choosing a hall runner. Does size matter? Most definitely. You don’t want a small…

Is your lippy collection littering the window ledge? Leaning tower of toilet paper forming an unsightly centrepiece? From bath toys to bog roll, we expect our bathrooms to work incredibly hard in the storage department – but many of them fall woefully short. Without knocking through into a neighbouring room, how can we overcome the logistical problem of a bathroom sans storage? CULL HARD First up, declutter. Bathrooms tend to make hoarders out of the best of us, so it’s time to bid those make-up samples and hotel shampoos goodbye. Sort through medicines as well – anything unwanted or expired can be taken back to your local pharmacy for responsible disposal. Take the opportunity to assess what needs to remain in the bathroom and what can be stored elsewhere –…

TINY TAONGA Bo & Ko Baby was created out of Amy Barratt (left) and Dayna Tavendale’s desire for baby products that celebrated the heritage of their tamariki. Dayna Tavendale and Amy Barratt first met more than eight years ago, introduced to one another by their husbands over a get-together to watch the UFC. At the time, their husbands had no idea their wives would soon become great friends, they say.
