Inside Outの March 2016 の目次

Sharing your home with family and friends is one of life’s greatest joys. For some. While it certainly is for me, I understand that not everyone feels the same. However, there are definitely ways to minimise the stress and effort that goes into any occasion, big or small. For starters, only invite people you like. I’m not joking. Entertaining is so much more stressful when you’re grumpy that you’ve extended the invitation in the first place. Conversely, sometimes it’s nice to use your friends as guinea pigs, testing out new recipes you like the look of for the ‘real’ guests another time. The guinea pigs are pretty happy for the free meal (new-ish parents are best in this case – any meal they haven’t cooked is a winner), and you…

time to celebrate This Danish label continues to set the benchmark We’ve always been partial to Ferm Living’s Nordic-chic mix of pattern and colour, which has made its impression on everything from wallpaper to soft furnishings to desktop accessories.

‘Cacti’ collection DESIGNER: Bethany Linz Bethany’s wallpaper all starts with a single stroke. “I paint with gouache on thick watercolour paper,” says Bethany. “I like to show all the details of the layers and brushstrokes within my wallpaper, so I have a specialist photograph my art, then I blow it up and put it in repeat on the computer.” Inspired by wall murals that have aged beautifully with time, this Sydney-based designer is also thankful for the boons of modern technology. “With digital printing, you can go crazy with your ideas, and you can keep the handpainted look that shows every brushstroke but with an affordable price tag,” says Bethany. And we’re not alone crushing on her work, as her wallpaper appeared in last year’s Maison & Objet Paris as…

Lisa Koehler is the interior stylist on our renovation specialists Panel (for more on the Panel, turn to page 114). Here, she offers her ideas on decorating a traditional home. Q How do you decorate a traditional-style entrance hallway with a modern taste? Kate Moore, via Facebook The formula for getting the mix right when decorating a traditional house with modern style is about creating balance between both looks. Firstly, work with the existing architecture of the house and embrace the traditional style with wall colours and flooring tones for a cohesive look throughout. Then add furniture elements that are a clear contrast such as a modern console. Keep the lines simple with clean, structured shapes, such as the ‘Echo’ cabinet from Zuster (pictured, $7500, zuster. com.au), The styling layer…

WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM TO MOVE, IT’S STILL POSSIBLE TO CREATE A HOME OFFICE – JUST SECTION OFF A CORNER OF THE LIVING AREA, INVEST IN A STATEMENT DESK AND ACCESSORIES, ADD SHELVING AND YOU’RE IN BUSINESS. COLOUR SCHEME #1 WINTER BRIGHTS Choose bold shades such as sunny yellow, brilliant blue and apple green to give warmth and a sense of playfulness, then strike a balance with a mix of fresh white, neutral tones and metallic highlights. A TABLE THAT CAN EXTEND TO FIT MORE PEOPLE FOR A FUN DINNER PARTY IS A SMALL SPACE MUST-HAVE. COLOUR SCHEME #2 CAPE COD Choose muted colours that call to mind the Cape Cod coastline – inky blue, khaki green, earthy tones and shades of grey – and pair…

warm & vibrant Nothing adds personality quite like the fabrics you choose for your home. From the window-dressings to the sofa and all manner of soft accessories, fabric is the perfect way to set the mood and update, depending on the season or your state of mind. But while you’re effecting change without knocking down walls, that doesn’t mean it’s a cheap option; you can expect to pay a pretty price for quality textiles, so make sure your choices will work with your lifestyle. Before you buy, things to consider include who will be using the room and how; how much sunlight it receives; maintenance; and how much money you want to spend. At a basic level, fabrics can be divided into two groups: natural and man-made. Natural fibres come…

Despite loving their stylish and beautifully realised home, a two-bedroom cottage wasn’t going to cut it space-wise for this family of five. Add in a desire for another child and it’s definitely time to hit up the open for inspections.That’s the scenario Fiona Bateman faced back in early 2013. Already fans of Sydney’s Neutral Bay neighbourhood, Fiona and her husband, Henry, were keen to upsize in the same postcode. An intrepid Fiona contacted local agents to see if there were any gems about to come onto the market. Fortuitously, one agent knew of an elderly couple who were thinking about selling their much-loved Edwardian home in which they’d raised their six children. Fiona was familiar with the beautiful period house in need of some attention.“The previous owners didn’t want to…

“AS THE BUILDING ALREADY BOASTED ORIGINAL DETAILS, WE DECIDED TO USE RESTRAINED COLOURS” GINÉS GORRIZ, HOMEOWNER “THE UNIFORMITY OF THE PATTERNED FLOOR TILES IMPARTS A SENSE OF CALM AND SPACE” ELINA VILÁ, HOMEOWNER When the apartment of ElinaVilá and her husband Ginés Gorriz was built in 1910, Barcelona’s economy was booming and splendid buildings were going up in the arty neighbourhood of Eixample. Modernista was the preferred architectural style among the upper echelons of society and ‘God’s architect’,Antoni Gaudí, was its most famous exponent. Some of the buildings he designed are around the corner from Elina and Ginés’s apartment.The architect behind their building,Telmo Fernandez Janot, was clearly inspired by Gaudí, with sumptuous facades and interiors typical of the era. Elina and Gínes were bowled over by the beautiful stained-glass windows,…

There are two kinds of people in life: entertainers and those who lose their stuffing at the thought of a friend dropping by for a cup of tea. If you sit in the former camp, feel free to take yourself off to the kitchen to whip up a croquembouche. For the rest of you, it’s time to take a deep breath and make a plan for having a bunch of your nearest and dearest around; we’re about to make the process a LOT easier. You see, phase two of the food revolution has hit Australian homes. Family dinners have moved on from chops and three veg to paleo protein and super greens, possibly with zingy pesto. What’s more, homeowners who’ve spent up big on their reno are desperate to host…

bullet This space-savvy machine will serve up your breakfast smoothie with lightning-fast speed Personal blenders pulverise ingredients into liquid and are great for DIY smoothies and juices. The advantage they have over a regular juicer is that you can combine the blending and drinking in a single piece of kit. Extra features include spill-proof lids, drinking spouts and a carry handle so you can have your juice to go. Unlike juicers, they don’t filter out the fibre, which means the end product is more nutritious. (Some have even claimed that because you’re consuming smaller particles than you would just chewing your food, they might be unlocking additional nutrients that would otherwise remain unprocessed.) Most personal blenders deal happily with berries and leaves; some are hardy enough to cope with ice…

For some renovators, engaging an architect son and a builder son-in-law on a major project could be asking for trouble. Not so for Chesne and John Raymond.The couple contracted their nearest and dearest to transform a tired clinker-brick three bedder into a chic and practical Australian beach house – and no-one fell out. Not even when Chesne and John moved in with their daughter Sarah – who’s married to builder Mike – for two months during construction.“This build has been a real family affair – and we’re all still talking!” says Chesne. Living in nearby Mona Vale for 35 years, Chesne and John had just begun to think about downsizing when Chesne spotted the house while out walking with Sarah. Upon inspection, she was captivated by the panoramic Pittwater view.“I’d…

Who lives here: Corinna Musgrave, interior designer and owner of Hunter & Ivy; her husband Mark, a strategy and implementation consultant; Corinna’s son Dillon, 21, and Mark’s son Luke, 18. Style of bathroom: This new bathroom includes a separate powder room. It was relocated from a dark part of the house to a 3.1m x 3.6m former bedroom to create a bright space. The project took about a year to complete. “We had design changes and council approvals that took up a lot of time. We had to wait for tiles to arrive from Italy,” says Corinna. The budget was $80k, but this included another bathroom for a studio and the cost of installing new sewer lines. CHANGING IT UP If you took a poll to see which rooms in…

1 BUTLER’S PANTRY Space is the ultimate luxury these days and that, of course, is rarely more evident than in the kitchen. The biggest brag about having more space has to be the inclusion of a butler’s pantry, and it’s not just for show either.

Easily ensuring your status as an impeccable host, it’s the perfect hiding place for all the functional elements of your kitchen – the fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle and extra glasses – and the…

THE ORIGINAL Tacchini ‘Sesann’ sofa by Gianfranco Frattini The form: A long, low unstructured sofa featuring a gathering of fabric or leather within an exposed tubular metal framework. What makes it special: The Italian architect Gianfranco Frattini was apprenticed to Gio Ponti from 1952–1956 and produced a number of important furniture designs in this period, culminating in 1956 with a Compasso d’Oro nomination for his ‘Model 849’ armchair for Cassina (recently reissued by Tacchini and renamed ‘Agnese’). Through the late ’50s until the early 2000s, Frattini worked across a number of industrial design, furniture and interior projects, with furniture for brands such as Cassina and Bernini, lighting for Artemide, Arteluce and Lucitalia, and interiors for restaurants, nightclubs and apartments from Milan to Tokyo. While the ‘Sesann’ collection of two- and…

Were you creative as a kid? Growing up in rural South Australia, I was surrounded with opportunities to work with my hands. As a teenager, I restored vintage motorcycles with my dad, made some terrible furniture and stood in front of our lathe, turning my mum (another) candlestick holder or bowl for Mother’s Day. Tell us about your workspace. I’m lucky enough to be working out of JamFactory in Adelaide. I’m in my final year of a two-year associateship there. I work alongside an extremely talented group of emerging designers under the guidance of Jon Goulder. Do you have a lot of finished furniture at home, or is everything a work in progress? It’s a mix for me. A lot of the pieces I’ve made have been to fill spaces…

Stepping inside a beautiful shop can set the heart aflutter as you anticipate what you might find, followed by the lovely buzz of retail therapy. But it’s also a chance to gather style inspiration as you explore each and every corner. The way the proprietors have utilised a converted space, their choice of flooring and wall-coverings, and the clever solutions for displaying their wares, are all great ideas that can be gathered and applied to your own home. This is precisely what Caroline Rowland explores in her new book, The Shopkeeper’s Home ($49.99, Jacqui Small). In this extract, you can see how curators, whose style credentials shine from their shelves, translate this talent for decor into their personal spaces.

Before you make plans to overhaul your existing kitchen, it’s worth considering the space as it is and what actually works.The owners of this Sydney home had a wood-fired oven in the brick cavity – the cavity was fine but the oven didn’t suit.They’ve since replaced it with an AGA cooker, which matches the zone’s charming feel. It also means there’s room for bench space and storage to take up an entire wall. For more of this refined family home, turn the page.…

Veterans of the film and television industry, Lesley Crawford and Dennis Smith have converted this Sydney warehouse, which serves as a testament to their unyielding creativity and can-do attitude. Inside, a treasure-trove of pieces made and collected over their 26 years together tells a thousand tales – all of them wonderful. “The house is a reflection of our lives and memories of the places we’ve been,” says Lesley.“We don’t need to change our style or consume more.” The couple bought the property – a former car spare parts business – in 1998, inspired in part by travels to New York City. “I’d dreamed of living in a warehouse ever since I saw the lofts there,” says Lesley.“It wasn’t a choice really and it wasn’t about the fact we couldn’t afford…
