Interiors expert Neale Whitaker launches own homewares range

One of Australia’s favourite media personalities, Neale Whitaker has launched a luxurious contemporary homewares collection.

The Neale Whitaker N|W collection features bed linen, coordinating throws and cushions, towels and decor items in natural fabrics like linen, Turkish and woven pure cotton.

“My collection offers the opportunity to create an individual look without the big price tag,” says Neale. “It comprises designs and colours that can be layered or used individually to create your look. The collection is as perfect for city living as it is for the country or the coast!”

The contemporary bed linen includes a large range of quilts with matching pillowcases, such as the Braemar quilt. This beautiful cover is available in Pink Salt, Burrow, Wattleseed and White.

Coverlets are a versatile year-round item perfect for all-weather sleeping, as a lightweight blanket in summer and a layer of extra warmth in winter. The Eden Coverlet is available with matching pillowcases in three delicious colours: Pink Salt, Eucalyptus and Granite.

Create your own relaxing bathroom retreat with bath towels in Oyster, Granite, Desert and Wattleseed. They’re designed to co-ordinate and woven from luxurious premium Turkish cotton for a soft, absorbent, faster-drying and durable
towel. There are also beach towels in Moroccan Palm or Beach Stripe.

And last but not least, from beautifully scented candles and diffusers to chic vases, lamps, wall art, rugs, and mirrors, the Neale Whitaker N|W décor items will add the perfect finishing touch to any room.

Win an Interiors Addict x Caring Canary Exclusive Care Package for someone special

Quitting her job to help take care of her terminally ill father, Georgia Harley witnessed many friends and family visit, sheepishly bearing flowers or chocolates even though they knew their gifts seemed trivial.

IMG_6376

Realising there was a gap in the market for thought-out, personalised gift packages, Georgia wanted to make it easy for people to show that they cared, and for people who were going through a tough time to really feel special. So, she formed Caring Canary, the one-stop-shop for unique and personalised care packages. “I know it’s not possible for someone to leave work to spend the day comforting their best friend who’s unwell; for a boss to show their employee how much they appreciate their overtime; for a partner to give a hug while they’re away on a work trip; or to spend the day on the couch with your friend who has just been dumped,” explains Georgia. “Caring Canary comes to the rescue when friends, colleagues, lovers and family members need it most.”

Interiors Addict x Caring Canary Exclusive Care Packages 1

With a range of seven care packages, highlights include the New Mum, featuring an Annabel Trends pom pom scarf, Pukka Tea and Wild Healing raw moisturiser; the Gentleman’s Kit, featuring John Allan’s shave cream, Lixie Chocolaterie and MiGoals Get Shit Done notebook and the Just Because, featuring an Ecoya travel tin scented candle, Cobs chocolate-covered caramel popcorn and a Caring Canary BPA-free white aluminium water bottle.

With a combined value of $329, each package contains eight or nine goodies; everything from cookbooks and chutney to beauty products and candles.

6 accessories to add some wow to your coffee table

If there’s one place you can have some fun with decorating, it’s the coffee table. If you’re the sort of person who reads this blog, I’m guessing you’re more likely to be creating little vignettes and stacks of coffee table books (they’re called that for a reason) that express your style, than just thinking of this piece of furniture as somewhere for your remotes and a cup of tea. Am I right?

coffee table accessories

A well styled coffee table makes such a difference to a living room! I have so much fun with my own coffee table. I’m constantly arranging and rearranging, adding fresh flowers, swapping around candles, changing up that month’s favoured books from my collection (possibly colour coding their spines, yes).

I’ve put together these top picks (above) if you are looking to add some instant wow factor, style or a talking point to your own coffee table. I hope you like them. Of course you should make your coffee table yours and a reflection of you, just like the rest of your home. This is just intended as food for thought (especially the donut!). If you don’t have a coffee table (really?!) these could work on a buffet, side table or even bookcase.

Where to buy

Clockwise from top left: Tom Dixon Eclectic candles (the marble lid doubles as a coaster later) from dedece+ ($113 each), gold sculptural spheres (perfect on top of your book stack!) from West Elm (from $49), Ilse vase (the perfect size for small; blooms on your coffee table and heavy enough not to get knocked over easily) from Georg Jensen ($120), the new Adore Home book is not only full of great Aussie interior inspiration, but with its gold cover and hot pink spine, it will look good on your table too, from Adore Home shop ($55), Lumino agate coasters (these are edged in 24k gold and practical as well as stunningly beautiful) from Becker Minty and available in various colours ($195 for four), glass donuts (which make great paper weights or just fun accessories!) by George Agius from CoCo Contemporary Connoisseur ($80 each).

14 gifts for mum: a Voyager candle for $49

I wish you could smell how good these are but you’ll have to take my word for it! The packaging is great too, and once the candle’s all gone, you still have a latte glass. Winning! I’ve been a fan for some time.

Voyager candleThey burn really cleanly and are made from soy, coconut and beeswax in Australia. The fragrance throw (that’s technical candle speak) is amazing. Expect it to fill your entire home. They’re $49 with free shipping at Hard to Find.

Stylish design of new Voyager candle brand

You can never have too many cushions or candles in my book. And just when I thought I’d seen it all when it came to candles, this lovely one arrived in the mail from Voyager last week.

Isn’t the double-walled design great? Very simple and elegant. And can you see the name of the scent through the glass on the bottom?
