From an inner-city Masonic lodge to a former tea warehouse and the magnificent Great Synagogue, the weekend event will give architecture and interior design lovers unprecedented access to over […]
We’re currently experiencing a cable outage at Interiors Addict HQ! In short, some live wires came crashing down across the road outside in Friday night’s storms and although we’re nearly back to normal, we couldn’t tune into The Block last night! So, today’s write-up comes courtesy of our friends at The Block Shop! And as […]
An interior staple, enthusiasm for upholstery has continued to grow since the 17thcentury when people began to cushion chairs. And while interior trends change, upholstery remains a constant which is why we caught up with custom upholsterer Kerri Hollingsworth from an.ti.quate to give us the lowdown on the top upholstery trends for 2019.

A fabulous complement to black and white schemes it also looks rather excellent paired with tan leather and it makes indoor greenery look even lusher. From cushions to bed linen, upholstery and vases the colour is surprisingly versatile which makes […]

I gotta say, I wasn’t mad about any of the rooms this week. None were bad at all, I was just underwhelmed in general. And there were a lot of items in them that I out and out hated! Thank goodness Mitch and Mark at least shook things up by being brave with the floorplan change. I suspect […]
Possibly its best collection yet, the 2019 spring/summer offering from AURA Home is an elegantly subdued mix of down to earth fabrics and beautifully muted colours.

These are our top picks. Agape Memory collection: Available locally at Artedomus, this collection draws on traditional shapes but reimagines them in a […]
It was an important space on last night’s Block room reveals: the formal living. Up front, I have to say I don’t think the following images do the rooms justice as they certainly looked a lot better on TV than they do in the photographs. These things can be so hard to capture sometimes! But […]
When it comes to kerbside appeal, there’s no denying the appeal of a stylish front door – particularly when it comes to first impressions. Not only can it set the tone for your home’s interior style (a sneak peek so to speak) but it’s one of the most easily improved aspects of a property’s façade. […]
As someone who has just made all the final selections for my own (main) bathroom reno, starting soon, I watched these Block reveals extra closely and let’s just say I felt pretty good about my decisions after the judging! I don’t want to be mean but boy, that real estate agent (and trained tiler) Jesse […]
I’m so excited for another season of The Block and to bring you our regular room reveal posts again! As usual, week one was a bit of a mess, with a lot of unfinished rooms, but those poor couples certainly got thrown in at the deep end! Read on to see what they managed in […]

Hitting screens on Sunday 4 August, for its 15th (wow!) season, The Block 2019 looks set to be an interesting one. The competition will play out at St Kilda’s Oslo Hotel, a former backpacker’s hostel and the oldest and largest Block ever since the show’s inception. Built from gold rush money in 1856, the site […]
