Inside OutAugust 2017的目錄

Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but our August issue is our 150th. That’s 150 times the Inside Out team has said, “Yep, this is our favourite home in the issue – let’s put it on the cover.” The 150th time we’ve read every page, checked every price, lovingly chosen every image, knowing it was the very best we could do this month. Think that’s worth celebrating? I do! With that in mind, we decided to throw ourselves a little party, and invited as many of our friends as possible. Why not? We had some of our longest-standing stylists, including Jason Grant and Claire Delmar; some of our newer recruits, interior experts Lisa Koehler and Shannon Vos; those who’ve created some of our favourite stories over the years, including…

MJP Studio ‘Wedge’ coat stand DESIGNER: Matt Pearson Adelaide-based designer/maker Matt is passionate about timber and woodworking. “I specialise in timber, especially American timbers, which have amazing visual and working characteristics,” he says. “I also like to bring in other materials, such as steel, brass and leather.” As such, his striking Wedge coat stand features an American oak frame on a powder-coated steel base. The tapered pegs ‘wedge’ into the holes and can be easily reconfigured. “People are drawn to moving the pegs around when they interact with the stand,” says Matt. “The shape mimics the human form, with the pegs set at common heights for items to be hung – hat, scarf, then jacket – there’s even a spot low down for a child to use.” While every piece…

THE ORIGINAL George Nelson ‘Thin Edge’ bed The form: A single, queen or king bed with a super-fine profile in tubular steel, wood and woven cane. What makes it special: Mid-century American design legend George Nelson was not only an accomplished architect, graphic designer, author and critic but was also an incredible product designer. His range includes his ground-breaking ‘Bubble’ lamps, clocks and furniture like the ‘Coconut’ chair and ‘Marshmallow’ sofa (designed with Irving Harper). Nelson designed the ‘Thin Edge’ bed for Herman Miller in 1954. The design won the first award from The Institute of American Decorators and was praised as “a new design, which eliminates unnecessary bulk while retaining deep comfort”. Nelson’s designs elevated objects off the floor, a change from the heavy wooden furniture that dominated American…

the Panel’s advice Andrew Benn Architect and director, Benn + Penna Architecture, bennandpenna.com This is a grand old house indeed. I love the soaring ceilings and beautiful plasterwork, but the 1980s extension is a disappointment. Although it adds a huge amount of space, it looks as if it was done cheaply and does nothing for the character of the home. If this is their forever home, Kate and Tim should take it off and start from scratch. This would be a great opportunity to build something of a superior quality and design, plus they can make a master plan for the house. The simple way to approach it is to put the bedrooms at the front with the formal living room, the bathrooms in the middle where it tends to…

Choosing the right mirror for your place depends on what you need: a decorative element to suit your style, somewhere to do your make-up, or a space-enlarging magic trick. First, mirrors can change your perception of a space. Jonathon Lee of The Hangman (thehangman.com.au) has been hanging mirrors and advising on their placement for more than 20 years. “Mirrors can really make a small space feel larger,” he says. “I often put an oversized mirror in a small entrance area to open it up visually. You can create a similar effect by putting a mirror at the end of a hallway. In small apartments, a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall can expand a room.” As for how to hang a mirror: think of it like an artwork. “A mirror should always relate…

Q Dear Peter, Why is it that when I organise the house on Monday, it’s a disaster zone by Wednesday? How do I keep the place and my family organised? Alison, Toowoomba, Qld A Hi Alison. How intensely frustrating is it to see your hard work ruined? But here’s the deal… Your house doesn’t magically become untidy by itself. Keeping your space tidy starts with figuring out what’s happening and I’ve found there are generally three reasons why mess builds up. 1. You’re putting things away in a way that makes it hard to keep them organised. When you put things away, are you a ‘piler’? Are there neatly stacked piles of cookware in your cupboards or jumpers in your wardrobe? Those piles may look neat but the truth…

Q We’re building a new home and we’re stuck on the roof. Not literally, but we can’t decide whether to go with tiles or steel. What factors do we need to consider? Sharon, via email Your decision really comes down to personal taste, but there are a few things to know. Tiles, which are most commonly made from terracotta or concrete, need a certain pitch to be effective, so if the angle of your roof is less than about 20 degrees, you’ll need to use metal. Tiles are also significantly heavier than metal roofing, so this kind of roof requires more structural support. Colorbond now has roofing with reflective properties, which can help if you live in a hot climate, in which case I’d also recommend choosing a light colour.…

The Netherlands forms a big part of Ursula van Schoonhoven’s life. It’s where her father was born, where she met her husband Hans – in the middle of a 10-year stint living and working in Amsterdam – and is the backbone of their business, House Of Orange, which specialises in furniture with a distinctly Dutch aesthetic. Step inside their Edwardian house in Melbourne’s inner-city Prahran – which, like a lot of Dutch houses, is a long-term rental – and you could almost be in Amsterdam with its gracious high ceilings, obligatory white walls and unadorned windows.“That’s very much a Dutch phenomenon,” says Ursula.“No-one closes their blinds, if they have them in the first place!” When the couple decided to take on a weekender in Sorrento, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula,…

Period charm is possibly one of the most overused phrases in the language of real estate. And there’s a reason for that – it’s what many buyers are looking for. But not only does charm cost, it can come with a large spoonful of compromise. So when you’re buying an old house, what do you need to look out for? And how can you maximise the benefits while ensuring your home works for modern life? We asked our Panel architect Andrew Benn (bennandpenna.com.au) for his advice on turning an old lady into love’s young dream. GEORGIAN  Georgian architecture is the earliest style of architecture found in Australia and is a treasured feature of Australia's oldest cities such as Sydney, Newcastle and Hobart. It’s a simple, elegant and formal style as,…

WEEKNIGHT COOKING STAPLES Planning and a well-stocked pantry are key – and don’t be afraid to take a few short cuts. There’s nothing wrong with using good quality ready-made stocks, tinned tomatoes, a packet of soup mix, frozen peas or a barbecued chicken from the supermarket. Combined with fresh vegetables and herbs, meat and seafood, grains, rice and pasta, you’ll be able to whip up a meal that will keep the hungry hordes happy and well fed.

You went to art school aged 14, but worked in graphic design and advertising before becoming a full-time artist in your late thirties. Do you still paint every day? I do. I’m 76 and I’ll never stop painting. I exhibit my new paintings at my gallery in Sydney. I’ve committed to art as a lifetime journey. My greatest pleasure in life is standing in front of a clean white canvas and not knowing where the work will go. Much of your work focuses on the ocean – is it still a source of inspiration for you? I feel lucky to wake up in Australia every day, and even luckier that I wake up beside Sydney Harbour. I swim every day, all year round, although in winter it might be better…

Our love affair with white interiors is undeniable. I mean, how many pinned images or liked pics do we all have of an all white palette, from kitchens and bathrooms to living areas and bedrooms? There’s something about white that we all love; it can look so damn good and it’s what so many of us strive for, sometimes without even knowing why. But there’s a fine line between a beautiful white room and a boring white out, so how do we make white interesting? Let’s have a look. why white? Using white is not a new thing – just look at classic whitewashed Greek houses and Scandinavian design with its milky white walls and floors. White has been ‘in’ for donkey’s years. More recently, it has come back as…

the budget undecided the story so far Kate Barnett and her husband Tim bought this circa-1915 double-fronted brick single-storey Edwardian home in Melbourne’s Malvern East in 2008. At the time, they were living in Sydney and their parents inspected it and bid on their behalf at the auction. Since then they have moved in with daughter Annabel, 11; and son Will, 9, and want to future-proof the home for living with two teenagers, while making the most of the period facade and original details. “We love the leafy street and the neighbourhood,” says Kate. “And we love knowing our home is more than 100 years old and that we’re preserving and enhancing it for future generations.” The couple would also like to landscape the featureless garden and create both an…

Our neighbours have just started a major renovation, which is going to take at least a year. We’re on friendly terms, but ours are terrace houses that share a party wall. Already the noise and dust coming into my house is sending me around the bend and it’s only been two weeks. I’m wondering if they should be compensating us in any way? Shona, Haberfield, NSW According to my records, 82 per cent of city dwellings are undergoing renovations at any given time, or at least that’s the figure I came up with by counting how many houses in my street have skips in the driveway and crushed cans of energy drink stuffed in the front hedge. So you’re certainly not alone in your anguish. Nearby renovations come for us…
