I think that Steph and Gian should have taken out

I think that Steph and Gian should have taken out first place on The Block this week. I loved their elevated dining space with its lower ceiling which created a really intimate room. The colour palette was perfect, I loved the lighting, double sided fireplace and adjacent comfortable and relaxed living area. Beautifully styled, this was a great reveal week for these guys.⁣

I love the louvre doors used throughout interior designer and founder of SOUL Home, Simone Mathews' latest project. A dark and cramped house on the NSW south coast has been transformed into a light and airy coastal home. ⁣

I have the tour of the home over on my blog.⁣

With so many of us now eschewing the daily commute

With so many of us now eschewing the daily commute in favour of working at least part of the time from home, the home office has become one of the most important rooms in the house. This doesn't need to be just a functional space, it can also be a room that is beautiful and nice to be in. ⁣
⁣
Read my Guide to the Perfect Home Office over on my blog for lots of inspiration and ideas to set up your home office whether your house is large or small.⁣

Green is my favourite colour, although I do love them all. I'm so glad to see that this is a colour that is being used more often in interiors. I love this cosy, comfortable bedroom in Neale Whitaker's guest house in Berry.⁣

I have the tour of the property, inside and out, over on my blog.⁣

What do you think of the trend for wall panelling

What do you think of the trend for wall panelling throughout the home? I love it and can see so many different applications for boards of all shapes and sizes. ⁣
⁣
One of the best things is that they can be used instead of tiles which means that you can easily update the look of a room with paint.⁣
⁣
I have a post on my blog showing you how to choose the right wall panelling for your project.⁣

How nice is this dark wall for a change? I love using these rich tones for smaller rooms like a study as they create a beautiful mood. With a lighter floor, furniture and artworks, this scheme really works well for me. What do you think?⁣

There was only one room that I thought worked on T

There was only one room that I thought worked on The Block Studio week and it was the winner. With a gorgeous natural colour palette of olive and terracotta, this room worked really well and deserved to take out first place.⁣
⁣
I have all the rooms over on my blog with my take on each one.⁣

Do you love the lodge style homes that you see in

Do you love the lodge style homes that you see in America. On shows like Yellowstone where ranches are built within magnificent landscapes that are rugged and beautiful. This style has some features that translate perfectly to the Australian countryside, so if you are building a home and want to shun the all white Hamptons look, you might like to consider an acreage lodge style home.⁣
⁣
I have included all of the elements in my recent post on acreage style lodge homes to help you recreate this look. Think of natural timber, stone and an organic and earthy colour palette and you are on your way.⁣

I like the look of an uncluttered kitchen. The slimline rangehood and shelving to cap the kitchen splashback brings a nice simplicity to this room. ⁣

A question that I am often asked is "what colour should I paint the inside of my front door"? ⁣
⁣
You can use the same interior trim colour that you are using through your house, for example a white that you have selected for the interior doors, skirting boards and architraves. Or you can highlight the front door and paint it in the same colour that you have used outside. ⁣
⁣
Using black here for the interior of the external door is very effective with the colour palette in the space.⁣
⁣
I have written a blog post all about what to paint the inside of your front door with lots of inspiration.⁣
