Inside Out的January 2022目录

1 Home away from home A long-time Inside Out contributor, stylist and writer Julia Green has realised a dream with this incredible retail space, modelled on the concept of home. Step though the double-front doors and you’ll see a bathroom leading to a bedroom. The floor below includes a lounge space complete with a suspended fireplace, a dining zone and decked-out kitchen. 2 Gallery space Julia is a passionate advocate for art, so it’s no surprise that there’s a tailored gallery space dedicated to regular exhibitions for her Greenhouse Interiors cohort of artists, as well as events. 3 Designer details Practically every aspect of the retail space can be purchased — from paint, taps and tiles through to wallpapers and flooring. Each room even has a QR code for quick…

Homeowner Heather Low engaged Cate Liedtke of Sydney’s Catherine de Meur Interiors for a bathroom makeover but the job quickly snowballed. They’d worked together so successfully on other parts of the home that there was no stopping them when it came to the upstairs bedrooms. The fully resolved home now has a clever mix of masculine and feminine energies to suit Heather and her sons, who stay over when they visit. Turn the page for more details.…

all-time high This prize-winning garden in Sydney’s eastern suburbs deftly plays with different levels to ensure a generous swimming pool does not overwhelm its tranquil green surrounds. Oliver Sizeland of Growing Rooms has cantilevered the pool so it appears to hover over garden beds, flowing with a fascinating array of carefully chosen plants in contrasting hues, shapes and textures. The light touch continues with a metal pergola, while the utilities are neatly hidden in a shed behind a hardwood batten wall. Turn the page for more details…

Q We’re installing a pool and want to ensure we have the safest compliance available. What do we need to know? Angela, via email As pool season is well and truly in full swing, it’s never been more important to check the safety of your pool gate and ensure you have the safest fencing available. When deciding on a brand and its functions, it’s important to consider the following when it comes to proper safety around the pool. Gates should always open outwards, away from the pool and must be self-closing and self-latching; the release knob must be at least 1500mm above ground level and the gate must shut securely from any open angle or force and should not be disengaged by jolting or shaking. Most importantly, a compliance certificate…

And just like that it’s summer… Or not, depending on where you are in this latest La Niña. However, we are manifesting summer vibes here at Inside Out this month with some hot projects and sunny decorating ideas. Maybe start with the great beach shacks, cottages and homes inspired to make the most of balmy nights and warm days. There are some clever material choices in those stories, and that fabulous Puglian house on page 84 is stirring up some big Mediterranean-style inspiration in its modern interpretation of a traditional local design. And there are practical solutions, too, including the best dressing-room design we’ve seen in a while on page 96, and some clever mini makeovers to freshen up your space that lead into the great story of Shannon Vos’s…

Julia and Samuel Joseph own Open Road Campervans Australia, a small business in Queensland that they began after converting a van for their Great Ocean Road adventure in 2019. Since then, the husband-and-wife duo have converted three more vans, which they rent out on Camplify, a side hustle that has seen them earn more than $100,000. “Travelling in a little rolling home enables you to be super-flexible, see something new each day and experience things that are off the beaten track, while still enjoying all the home comforts you’re used to,” says Julia. 1 conversion While converting their first van took six months, the second and third conversions only required two months each at a cost of $25,000 per van. “Figuring everything out for the first time and all the…

Located on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula is a weatherboard home belonging to Jeff and Mariko Provan, who initially intended to demolish it and rebuild. Shortly afterwards, however, the place’s mid-century charm won them over and they simply filled it with vintage treasures, sentimental objects and artworks. Beyond the eclectic interiors is an idyllic coastal garden, complete with a fruit orchard and vegie patch. Turn the page for more details.…

They say change is as good as a holiday, and because many of us are striving for both at the moment, the first is a good place to start. We’ve all been staring at the same walls and spaces for so long that we need a freshen-up to get us going again. There is no better time for a revamp than the beginning of a new year, so take a long look at your living spaces and see where you can make a difference without launching a full-scale renovation. There are so many completely achievable things you can do to get the look you want – without blowing your budget and spending weeks of your time. Here are our top seven suggestions for turning things around… 1 DECLUTTER AND DECOMPRESS…

Hindsight is a wonderful thing – well, it would be if we had it! We would all have made a squillion in bitcoin, stocked up on toilet-paper shares and, for the past two years, we would have isolated on a yacht somewhere with tropical waters and white sandy beaches. Hindsight in our homes would come a close second. Most of us can only dream of an architecturally considered home, one with passive design principles and a strong connection to its environment. Those dream homes keep cool in summer, stay warm in winter and promote healthy living that sits perfectly in their environments. For those of us who buy an existing and, probably, dated home, designed by someone long gone and with little regard for a changing environment, you’re kind of…

The new range of above-counter basins by Robert Gordon Pottery is part of the homeware brand’s exciting expansion into interior fixtures along with its beautiful lights. The designs are available in three key shapes – round, dish and rectangular – and made by skilled craftspeople in Australia from recycled scrap clay. And as they’re fully vitrified, there’s no need for special sealers or cleaning products. Pictured is the stunning Kiln 360 basin, priced at $935. robertgordoninteriors.com.au…
