timber wall tiles – The Interiors Addict

Bonnie and Neil’s newest conservatory-inspired collection

One of Australia’s most popular independent textile brands, Bonnie and Neil, have released their latest collection of handmade homewares, Winter Garden.

Featuring cushions, tableware, wall tiles and more, all products are hand screen printed on natural materials in their Melbourne studio. It’s this handcrafted, organic process that makes each piece unique.

Inspired by historical conservatory gardens with their mosaic floors, glass ceilings, tapestries and ornate framework, the collection includes geometric designs, abstract florals and detailed tile patterns, as well as influences of lush plant life and birds.

In keeping with Bonnie and Neil’s trademark vibrancy, the collection is full of deep jewel tones: emerald, indigo and blue, complemented with mustard and shades of pink.

Last night’s room reveal and where to buy what you saw on The Block

Sunday night room reveals are the best bit about the The Block. No challenges, just renovating, room reveals, judging and results. Hoorah! The long and drawn out scoring process aside, what’s not to like?

Last night’s was a great episode, with Matt and Kim’s Pollock-inspired bedroom described as both “a crime scene” and the most controversial room in the show’s history. Kudos to them for getting such a reaction! I thought their design was wholly inappropriate but admired their bravery and they definitely executed their ideas really well and with enthusiasm. Easy for me to say as an armchair critic…

I think Bec and George were probably the right couple to win, although I loved parts of Trixie and Johnno’s room too, in particular their Bonnie and Neil wall tiles. I can’t believe none of the judges had seen them before; I’ve been loving them for months and wishing I wasn’t renting so I could use them somewhere! I like the twins but I wasn’t a fan of last night’s bedroom. Next week will be interesting with two bathrooms each to complete. I do love a good bathroom reno so looking forward to those!
