essastone launch new range of sophisticated, durable benchtops

A benchtop is much more than just a showpiece; it’s a place for socialising, for cooking, for sharing and for living. Taking the best of what natural stone has to offer in beauty and design, essastone has re-launched its sophisticated collection of durable stone surfaces that have been perfected for life – the way we really live it.

Made with up to 95 percent natural quartz, the new essastone range is more resilient than ever, meaning your benchtop can resist life’s wear and tear. Offering a stone solution that survives the spills and thrills of life, essastone’s key benefits include guarding against staining, scratching and citrus acid stains. It is also incredibly easy to clean, so it looks as good as the day you bought it.

The latest in interior design reveals the desire to achieve raw, natural looks, with a lot of texture. Veined decors are becoming increasingly popular as is the strong demand for concrete looks.

Reflecting emerging design trends, essastone is suitable for a range of surfaces throughout the home including benchtops, vanities and decorative features. Selected specifically for Australian interiors, the stunning new stone and concrete designs – ranging from classic European to modern industrial – will make an unforgettable impression in your next project.

It’s there for three meals a day, every dinner party, every piece of homework, every snack and every unexpected occasion.

“At essastone, we celebrate life; not just the beautiful moments, but the mess and the spills too.”

My favourites from OZ Design Furniture’s new ranges

Sponsored by OZ Design Furniture

You should pop down to your local OZ Design Furniture store to check out their gorgeous new Spring/Summer collections! It’s probably my favourite part of the homewares year: new bright and breezy furniture and accessories to welcome the warmer months!

I love the retro vibe of the new Carson coffee table in beautiful solid timber, from $1,449

This season, they’re promising to take interiors to the next level, embracing the Australian lifestyle and how we love to live at home. I love how they, as usual, have curated four distinct looks: Abode, Arthouse, Coast and Global. For those who need a little help putting a look together they can simply choose from the one; the more adventurous can play stylist by mixing and matching from all four if they like!

You can expect the same OZ Design Furniture timeless design and style of course, but with a good dose of freshness for the new season. OZ Abode stays true to its mantra of showcasing beautifully crafted furniture, but a few new additions kick the look up a notch. The Hunter designer chair is a clear standout, but the Cantina dining table is a great staple classic. This look is all about clean lines and quality craftsmanship, styled with bold pattern and texture in fun bright colours.

OZ Global has dark and moody moments this season, pulling a tonne of inspiration from other cultures. I love the fresh botanical influences. Earthy tones (already being predicted as popular in the paint companies’ latest colour forecasts) and organic materials (you can never go wrong with nature, I say!) are trending now, with new pieces like the Cannes dining, coffee and side tables plus console (I want this in my hallway!) in rich marble stealing the show. Who doesn’t love marble?!

SOHO SLING MARTIN

Don’t forget to add the odd gold and copper accent (I have many in my home and they’re going nowhere any time soon!) from the new accessories options, adding to the raw, earthy and organic vibe.

OZ Coast recognises that Aussies never get over the beach, but you’ll find punchier colours in this year’s style story. A large number of Australians will always love this look, not surprisingly when so many are lucky enough to live near the ocean. Sunny yellows and deep blues sit against gorgeous whitewashed timbers, while rattan and wicker feature prominently. Among the new pieces, I love the Avoca buffet; functional and good looking.

SANTORINI NELSON (1)

OZ Arthouse is a hit for those who love the eclectic, not too ‘done’ look. It’s blended but balanced, offering the chance to celebrate pastels and bright tones together. Geometrics also get their moment alongside other bold patterns and motifs. The Tatler modular sofa is a brand new addition and is set to be a hit this season.

As usual, there are countless timber and upholstery options on almost everything. If you don’t want to customise, certain products marked for express delivery can be with you in a guaranteed four weeks!

OZ Design’s online store is launching soon (watch this space for more information), showcasing the latest and greatest in homewares for spring and summer all ready to make their way into your home. In the meantime, check out the latest online catalogue.

Go crazy for copper at Freedom this season!

Yesterday, gold pieces were among the favourites I shared from Freedom’s latest homewares range. today, I’m all about copper. I’m still welcoming pops of this warm metallic into my home and I think we’ll be seeing them trending for a long time yet. You may not have thought about adding copper to your bathroom, an often neglected room in the styling and accessorising stakes. so why not give these a go? I think the shower caddy ($34.95) is my favourite.

If you find copper a little too glitzy and worry it’ll look tacky, let me recommend the awesome combo that is matte black and copper, as seen in the Otis bowl ($44.95) below.

Lighting’s another place to add a touch of copper. At $49.95, the Helix suspension pendant is pretty low commitment.

There are heaps more copper options at Freedom this season. Happy online shopping!

A first look at Freedom’s latest collection, styled by Jason Grant

Nothing beats switching things up at home to herald the warmer days and the abundance of sunshine. The new Freedom Spring/Summer 2014 Collection is a culmination of colour, print and pattern. A true celebration of Australian interiors.

“Freedom has embraced everything there is to love about colour for the new summer collection,” says senior homewares buyer Korryn Bentley. “Remember those pastels we all grew up with — reminiscent of 20c worth of mixed lollies? We’ve grown up and so has the palette, but it’s just as sweet. We know colour makes an interior a happier place to be, this season we have plenty of options.”

Stylist Mr Jason Grant, whose second book is released later this month, styled these gorgeous images. He said: ““I’m loving the latest collection from Freedom, a welcome burst of colour and pattern for the warmer months. Mixing geometric patterns, bright pops of colour and gelato shades with classic shapes and timber pieces, the collection is fun and fresh.

“Of course I love anything nautical or tropical and there are anchors, stripes, oars and palm leaves everywhere! The collection is perfect for adding some summer vibes and relaxed, laid back style to your home.”

Four new decorating stories embody the spirit of an Australian summer. You can choose how you play with colour, but Freedom have helpfully done the groundwork for you to get you there:

Sorbet Dream

A soothing palette of pastel tones and grey makes for a home that is beautifully serene. When designing with simplicity in mind, every detail has been introduced with precision and beauty. Whether it’s the artisanal feel of contrast glazing on the Talleo vessel or the graphic statement of the Boyd rugs neon on neutral stripes, it’s the little things that count.

Sunseeker

Balancing classic and contemporary elements, Sunseeker delivers a fresh energy to interiors. Whether it’s the Saltram adjustable stool that combines the honest of timber with industrial form or our solid elm Constable dining table with mixed bench and chair seating, Sunseeker makes home life less ordinary. Earthy terracotta also features heavily, especially across the Terra vessel collection that has been handmade in Portugal.

Colour Fiesta

Making a strong statement with ease, Colour Fiesta gives a bold new direction to the warmer months. Start with the classic understatement of a hero neutral piece like the Benson Modular Sofa and build your look from there. Dip into new shades with everyday pieces, like the Pompidou table or the Epping nest of three tables, each given a playful splash of colour.

Island Life

Relaxed yet eye-catching, the living is easy with Island Life. From rope and natural weaves to bottle green glass; shipshape, nautical touches also steal the scene. Look no further than the Demijohn table lamp for proof that a little high sea inspiration can still be contemporary and urban. Rounding out Island Life is a range of new season cushions that have been rendered in vintage inspired prints. Case in point? The Hula cushion, it’s fun and unique and will get noticed for all the right reasons.

New collection pieces are arriving weekly from today. Shop online.

Chevron’s going nowhere in AURA’s latest colourful collection

There’s a reason that trends stick around and that’s because they just work. Chevron is one of these. People keep asking me isn’t chevron “over” yet and no, it isn’t, because everyone loves it! AURA obviously agree, because there’s plenty of that old zigzag favourite in their latest colourful collection for summer, released this week.

chevrongrandequiltcoverneoncoral

If you love colour, this one’s for you. I particularly like the mix of neutral natural fibres like linen and cotton with the bright patterns and accents. Choose a lot of colour or the odd pop, depending on your taste. Choose from crochet, oversized chevron, spots, dipped and plain styles.
