Australia’s leading flooring retailer wants to inspire you with expert advice (from the likes of The Block favourite Amity Dry) and aspirational imagery, whether you’re renovating, building or decorating your home. The mag’s even organised by room to make it easy for you to visualise different spaces and the impact different kinds of flooring can make in them. They’ll even forgive you for ripping out the odd page for your moodboard!

Flooring can make such an impact but it’s also a bit of a commitment and you want to make the right choice which will see you through a few years. Whether it’s family-friendly and practical, luxurious and comfortable, the healthiest choice for your child with asthma, something which can withstand dogs racing around on it or the affordable and neutral choice for a rental property, the options can sometimes seem a little overwhelming. Rather than put off making a decision yet again, this magazine is here to help inspire and guide you!

In my opinion, getting a new floor in your home or getting it painted are two of the most exciting and impactful updates for adding wow factor. Whether you’re a fan of timber, laminate, bamboo, luxury vinyl, carpet, tiles or rugs, Choices Flooring are sure to have what you’ve been searching for!

The Block All Stars winner Amity Dry is joining Adelaide stylists Cain & Markus so she can finally give people interiors advice in their own homes.

Amity and husband Phil Rankine won the hearts of Australia when they took out first place on Channel 9’s The Block All Stars earlier this year. Amity’s decorating style and eye for design was popular with both the public and the judges and her and Phil won more challenges, rooms and prize money than any other couple on the series. Neale Whitaker praised their Hamptons inspired home and declared that “Phil and Amity are creating the house I want to live in.”

Interviews The Block

The Block’s Amity on life after winning, mezzanines, motherhood and musicals

In the run-up to The Block, Amity Dry was on Interiors Addict every night, doing her research. Now that’s what I like to hear! I was delighted to get the opportunity to interview one half of my favourite All Stars couple this week and here’s what she had to say…

Amity Dry doesn’t do things by halves. She had just two days off between arriving home from The Block auction and starting rehearsals for her musical Mother, Wife and the Complicated Life, which she produces as well as stars in. “My workload is pretty massive and it’s a lot to juggle at the moment, but I’m so passionate about the show that’s it’s worth it. We’ll be taking a holiday in June, that’s for sure!”

The show, coming to Melbourne and Sydney this month, is a musical comedy about marriage, motherhood and the way women juggle relationships, work kids and friendship. “It’s very funny, but it’s also really emotional in parts, as we explore topics like post natal depression, the breakdown of a marriage and the pressure to do it all,” she says. “The ultimate message of the show is that marriage and motherhood can be wonderful and the most rewarding things you’ll ever do, but they’re also really hard work and it’s ok to say that and laugh about those tough moments.
