It’s where the food is, where the wine is and where I love to be – and oh boy, putting this issue together has been so much fun, cherry-picking some of the best kitchens in Australia to share with you. They’re all so delicious. We started with Magdalena Roze’s fantastic home kitchen (on the cover) where her sense of warmth and comfort has only been elevated by the installation of her incredible stone wall. She tells the story of how the entire space came together on page 112. Every one of our kitchen projects is brimming with ideas, including inspired materials, rich palettes and super-smart design ideas. I loved the inclusion of stained-wood veneer, room-dividing curtains and modernist wall-mounted task lighting in our Kitchen Case Studies. And for fresh benchtop…

cheat sheet Who lives here Jess and Sam Van Deuren with their son, Otis, seven, and daughter, Lexi, five. Style of home A new four-bedroom house with a design and palette inspired by the surrounding bushland. Location Yellow Gums Estate in Ocean Grove, Victoria, which is traditionally Wadawurrung Country. Jess and Sam bought the land in September 2020. Construction began in May 2021 and was completed by December 2021. The cost of the land was $810,000 and the build was $900,000. For most people, building your family home isn’t a process you want to repeat too often. For Jess and Sam Van Deuren, it’s something they can’t get enough of. This is the fourth house the couple have created for themselves from scratch. Their previous place not far away…

cheat sheet Who lives here Emma Martin and Tristram Hoppe, business owners, with their children: Walter, nine, and Louie, four. Style of home Warehouse conversion with a contemporary European feel. Location Coolum Beach in Queensland, traditional land of the Kabi Kabi. The interior of the home took four months to complete. Emma and Tristram spent $600,000 on building work inside. A warehouse originally sized up for a business unexpectedly became a blank canvas for the life of a young family. Emma Martin and Tristram Hoppe first saw their industrial warehouse on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and the potential it had, in 2021 and immediately knew it was right for them – though not for what they’d intended. “It was an awful layout for a business, but perfect for a home. We…

For Byron Bay-based foodies Magdalena Roze and her partner, Darren Robertson, the kitchen is quite literally central to their lives. “We use our kitchen intensively all day long,” says Magdalena, ticking off family cooking for the couple’s two sons, Archie, seven, and Charlie, five; entertaining friends around the table the couple designed in collaboration with Lounge Lovers; and recipe testing for Oomite, the all-natural umami spread she created with Katie Graham. So, when it came time to renovate their 1980s brick home to improve the functionality for their family and bring in more light, air and character, the pair decided to start with the kitchen and dining area, then take a break to enjoy it before continuing. We asked Magdalena to give us the lowdown on her reno design decisions.…

Looking back on her upbringing in a female-led creative family in Sri Lanka, Kowsh Rawson can see where the seeds of her floral career were sown. Kowsh’s mum is a pattern-maker by trade and had her own fashion range before migrating to Sydney. Today, she owns a curtain business and runs a soft-furnishing workroom. Two of Kowsh’s aunties, who played a large part in raising her, were also gifted dressmakers. “Growing up, I was immersed in colour and textures, fabrics, threads, beads, laces and blocks,” Kowsh says. “Naturally, I would explore and play with these elements no end.” The young girl’s creativity blossomed under the tutelage of her grandparents, who owned a beautiful little estate and lived off the land. “There was no TV, the entire household rose with the…

space savers + Rethink your under-sink cupboard with a grab-and-go caddy for cleaning supplies, plus boxes and trays to group like with like. Turntables are another option to easily find what you need in a low or deep cupboard. + Use all your airspace: shelf risers and hanging racks or hooks can quite literally double the available room inside a cupboard, and also mean you don’t have to grapple with heavy or precarious piles of plates and platters. + Elevate your everyday with uniform spice containers and stylish condiment bottles and holders for the benchtop.

Before-and-after renovation stories have always been popular in print and on TV, but since the emergence of social media, we’ve been able to see them fleshed out on an unprecedented scale. While Pinterest is big on moodboards, TikTok is full of hacks and YouTube is the place for documentary-style home stories, Instagram (IG) has become the leading platform for home renovators keen to share their DIY experiences in the most accessible way. Using images, videos (reels) and links to other content, the reach is huge and growing. Some proponents have started – and remained – small, posting only a select number of pictures that showcase the aesthetics of their renovations. Others began modestly and grew their profiles steadily until their home refurbishment was no longer a money pit but rather…

While they have every reason to stay (a pool, spa and plenty of room to spread out), the numbers don’t lie; this bunch could bust a move at any time. Turn the page to find out more.…

cheat sheet Who lives here Architect Nikki Mote and her husband, Tim, with their two boys: Sander, 11, and Kitt, nine. Style of home Beach house with a renovation that has made it eco-friendly and more flexible in terms of layout. December 2020 to December 2021, including a lockdown. Approximately $1.6 million, with quite a bit saved on design fees. Good things come to those who wait, as this laid-back, light-filled home brilliantly proves. Like many architects, Sydney-based Nikki Mote had placed her own home at the bottom of the to-do list. “It took so long to get started that my husband threatened to bring in another architect,” she says with a laugh. But, in her mind at least, she was shaping this inspired renovation from the get-go. “I started…

1 HEART OF STEEL A family collaboration resulted in a strong design signature with a perfectly balanced mix of raw and refined the inspiration Glenn Lamont had a very particular vision for the kitchen of his industrial-inspired home in inner-city Melbourne, designed with architect John Mercuri of ODR Architects. “I wanted to replicate the raw steel finish I have throughout the house in the kitchen, with work benches and cabinets you might find in a steel-fabrication workshop,” Glenn says. “I wanted a simple, open and flexible working kitchen without integrated joinery or complexity.” the materials Glenn collaborated with his brother, Justin, founder of custom furniture and interior-design firm LifeSpaceJourney, on the manufacture of the blackened and waxed mild-steel cabinets. The rustic and handmade feel continues with a burnished concrete floor,…

It’s time to stop looking up, and instead start looking around when it comes to kitchen lighting. By all means get the practicalities sorted – a kitchen has to be well-lit for food prep and cooking – but then turn your mind to ambience and expressing your style. “We need our kitchen to be our favourite cafe, sometimes the perfect quiet late-night bar, a place to talk with family, an easy access area for a quick bite as we run out the door, and the place where we take our time crafting an amazing meal,” says Adele Locke, founder of Mint Lighting Design in Melbourne. “All of these needs have to be met by lighting that integrates with kitchen design to ensure you don’t end up with shadows all over…

boxing clever Buxus and wispy grasses line up A Sydney landscape designer has used his own home as a proving ground for different plants in some surprising combinations. Here, beneath a deciduous crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei ‘Natchez’), he has reused clipped balls of Japanese box (Buxus microphylla) from an existing hedge on the property with Japanese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’) along a blackbutt deck, which has been left to weather.
