Sponsored by MyHouse and HOUSE – Bed & Bath

Home Beautiful magazine has launched a beautiful range of homewares available exclusively at MyHouse and HOUSE – Bed & Bath. It follows their recent gorgeous collaboration with design expert Neale Whitaker and we love it!

Now you can bring a touch of Home Beautiful’s design and décor know-how to your home with a selection of sumptuously soft bedding, luxurious bath towels and stylish decor pieces, all at an affordable introductory price. And one lucky Interiors Addict reader can even win $1,000 worth of the Home Beautiful goodies to make over their bedroom and bathroom. There’ll probably be enough left over for some sofa cushions and a candle too!

“At Home Beautiful we’ve been celebrating and sharing inspiring interiors for many years. So it was a natural next step to launch our own homewares range,” says editor in chief Elle Lovelock. “The range is everything we love about homewares. It’s simplicity at its finest with designs that are elegantly understated and easy to style to create a beautiful sanctuary at home.”

We agree that the range will be so easy to incorporate into many different homes, lending itself to layering with existing pieces or others from within the range. Struggling to choose the perfect cushion combo for your bed (we know it’s really tricky!)? Why not replicate one of the above images?! It’s not cheating, it’s being stylist-inspired!

The range has pure cotton quilt cover sets in in so many different (but all beautifully subtle and easy to work with) designs, European pillowcases, coverlets (we love swapping our quilt for one of these in the warmer months), sheeting, cushions, throws, towels, candles and more.

Colours include calming hues of mist and petal, soft greys, crisp whites and uplifting blues, complemented by simple and elegant patterns and textures.

What’s more, everything’s at a serious discount of up to 50% off for a limited time so don’t wait too long to grab your favourites!

Quilt cover sets & coordinating European pillowcases

These all start at $129.99 for a Queen quilt cover set and coordinating European pillowcases are $34.99 each, while introductory prices apply.

Style Foundations

Be inspired by your bedroom with soft calming hues that are soulful and easy to style. This soft relaxed cotton is finished with a refined stitched edge.

Adley

With its simple black running stitch embroidery on a crisp white soft cotton, this offers understated elegance.

Calla

Always enduring and timeless white never fails to please! Add seersucker texture and crisp pure cotton and you have bedroom goals! Calla is easy to style, and works as easily relaxed or more structured, making it the perfect choice to create your own bedroom sanctuary.

Sloane

In a nurturing grey palette, the Sloane quilt cover set is enough of a statement all on its own, but also a great platform to a layer on more texture, pattern and colour.

Yumi

Simple and easy with just a little bit of fuss; just the right balance of creating calm and interest. We really love this one!

Naya coverlets

Simplicity at its finest, this relaxed washed cotton is soft and luxurious, and just looks so good in this uplifting hue of blue. Perfect for a lightweight layer in summer or an extra layer for added warmth in winter. The introductory price is $199.99 for a Queen/King.

Sheet sets

The high quality 375 thread count cotton sateen sheet sets feel smooth and silky against your skin and drape elegantly with a luxurious sheen. The simple yet stylish stitching detail allows you to layer them with any other bed linen. Introductory prices start at $149.99 for a Queen.

Add luxury and texture to your room with the Home Beautiful throws and cushions including the generously-sized Texture Throw in white, charcoal and grey at $89.99. A range of modern cushions are $49.99 each.

1 Comment on Towels Australia: Style your bathroom with these colourful new finds

While there are plenty of lovely plain and neutral bathroom towels around, it’s the brightly coloured, boldly textured or patterned ones that pack the biggest design punch. The perfect way to update your bathroom in an on-trend way, our latest towel finds have us desperately making room in our linen cupboards.

Sage & Clare: The brand famous for its Nudie Rudie bath mats has expanded the range to include Nudie Rudie towels and a gorgeous range of lightweight and absorbent cotton waffle towels in a stylish check. We love! From $45.

Adairs: Mass homewares retailer Adairs can always be relied upon for an interesting towel that won’t break the bank. Its new Turkish cotton towel range (available in raspberry and seagrass) is ideal for a texture injection while the Daisy design is pretty as a picture. From $9.99.

The Daisy towel range comes in this gorgeous green as well as a soft pink

Kip & Co: The brand synonymous with bold prints and bright colour seems the perfect choice for those seeking a splash of fun in the bathroom. We love its new hand loomed 100 per cent cotton Turkish towels (in stripes and a multi-coloured pebble design) as well as the cotton terry spotted design that comes in pink/pale cream and a stunning lilac and orange marmalade combination. From $25.

Castle & Things: Rachel Castle has brought her inimitable style into the bathroom with a bright and sunny range of towels including one that sports an on-trend scallop detail. With a colour range that spans dusty blue, raspberry, toffee and sherbet, these towels are almost delectable enough to eat. From $79.

Miss April Towels: Founded by Britt Hurrell, who received a Turkish towel for Christmas a few years ago and promptly became obsessed, Miss April Towels stocks a fabulous range of towels made by artisans and small family businesses across Turkey. From $89.

Colours abound in this month’s Australian kitchen & bathroom trends

While green has been in the interior spotlight for some time now, it’s finally made its way into the bathroom sphere in a really solid way. From basins to tiles…

Canningvale: over four decades of family business

Post date December 19, 2018
1 Comment on Canningvale: over four decades of family business

The Canningvale story began in 1977 when Italian weaver Giovanni Prainito immigrated to Australia with a variety of looms in tow, and a desire to produce a quality product. But what began as a small operation (with just a small terry jacquard weaving mill) has since become an Australian success story that has seen the brand sell over one million towels and more than 600,000 sheet sets – quite the achievement for a small family-owned business run out of Melbourne!

The Canningvale factory in 1977 - its first year of business. — The Canningvale factory in 1977 – its first year of business.

“After 41 years and multiple generations of our family working in this business, we have an instinct for beautiful, purposeful, lasting products. Your mattresses, bedding, towels and furniture should be part of your sanctuary, your daily rituals – we want these moments to be enjoyable and lasting,” says Canningvale chairman (and Giovanni’s son) Frank Prainito of the brand that has evolved well beyond anything the family ever expected.

From the early days, the brand went on to produce bedding and towels for high-end brands including Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Sheridan and Country Road, before becoming the successful online homewares and furniture purveyor it is today.

Canningvale in the 1990's — Canningvale in the 1990’s

“We’re driven by integrity in product and customer service, but it is our capacity for technical innovation and unparalleled fibre knowledge, coupled with the elegant simplicity of our designs’ textures and muted tones that create products that stand the test of time and changing tastes,” says Frank whose son Jordan Prainito took over as the managing director of the company in 2016. “We are an Italian/Australian family. Our rich family history, tradition and culture are northern Italian, but our love of life, the outdoors and nature is quintessentially Australian,” says Jordan.

“We’re obsessed with problem-solving and developing unique product solutions using natural materials to create pieces our customers will love. It is my father’s life’s work and he is still here, guiding us like a living library,” says Jordan.

“An example of our technical solutions is that, whilst towels are produced to look as fluffy as possible for the lowest cost, ours are woven to a balanced technical formula which wicks moisture away from the surface pile. When you use a Canningvale towel, you don’t have to look for a dry area to keep drying yourself,” says Jordan of the company’s commitment to producing products that endure.

The Canningvale brand today

“Fast fashion, with its financial and environmental consequences is anathema to us. At Canningvale we are proud to be a ‘slow product’ brand. We want our customers to know that when they bring a Canningvale product into their homes it will be an ethical purchase and stand the test of time,” says Jordan.

Canvas+Sasson new range: Jaipur meets Cuba meets Palm Springs!

5 Comments on Canvas+Sasson new range: Jaipur meets Cuba meets Palm Springs!

Canvas+Sasson began as a lot of small businesses do, from home, with the juggle of kids, family and boxes and boxes of cushions. But it wasn’t long until the business began to grow, moving into its own warehouse and studio, much to the relief of founder Sarah Quin (and her husband!).

Now, a decade later, Canvas+Sasson has cemented itself as a homewares and furniture powerhouse, one that embraces the classical to the bohemian and everything in between. Launching two collections a year, their latest offering includes cushions in the most perfect palette of blush pink, gold and tangerine orange; a line of summery Rattan furniture – complete with day bed and 70’s inspired bar cart and towels hand block printed and tasseled.

With a strong global influence, the collection is quite eclectic – think Jaipur meets Cuba meets Palm Springs… with a dash of 70’s! So it comes as no surprise that travel is a huge inspiration for Sarah and Canvas+Sasson’s resident designer Jemma Bell. “We travel a lot and are constantly picking up ideas from different cultures,” explains Jemma. “I’m based in India and as you can imagine it provides a huge well of inspiration. We’re always seeing things that can be made to suit a more Australian taste. South America is another amazing place for colour inspiration and Mykonos for a more European influence that is still full of fun, colour and texture.”

The wares also give a nod to fashion, with Tory Burch, India Hicks and Aerin Lauder among the designers Canvas+Sasson most admire. “Seeing bold and bright prints in fashion and tailoring or paring back those looks for homewares is a big starting point for our collections.”

While the design process varies from collection to collection, one thing that remains the same is the focus on handmade goods. “Many of our textiles are hand block printed, a really beautiful technique found in Rajasthan where wooden blocks are stamped across the fabric and layered in various hues to create a pattern,” says Jemma. “We also use a lot of woven textures in our textiles and love exploring hand embellished crafts such as embroidery, crochet and beading.”

As a wholesaler unfortunately you can’t just pop online to buy, but luckily Canvas+Sasson has a huge list of stockists, so no doubt you will find a place near you.

No Comments on Get summer ready with our top picks from Country Road

Country Road has long been a personal favourite, ever since as a tiny tot, my mum would take me in for our weekly pilgrimage! Their Summer Home collection has just launched, with something for every room and every style. Here are my top picks:

Save money and have a tapas night at home! Country Road’s stoneware Tapas range is hand-glazed to give a beautiful, glossy finish. Featuring a modern design and clean profile, the range is a stylish addition to the table.

Functional (but would also look great just leant up against the wall) the Albi Trivet is crafted from timber and designed to protect your surfaces from heat. It is available in four colours.

I adore art and the Luna A1 Poster is super chic and affordable. Win! Hang with their Tube Hanger or in one of their A1 frames.

Oh so cozy, the Rikka Knit Throw is made from a soft cotton blend in a chunky knit weave. Perfect for refreshing you space. It comes in two gorgeous colours, arctic blue and mid grey.

I love a ladder as a place to hang towels, throws or garments. But the Nomi Storage Ladder goes a step further, having clever lock-in shelves which appear to float. Made from ash it comes in natural and black.

Sheridan’s upcoming collection inspired by Tasmania

No Comments on Sheridan’s upcoming collection inspired by Tasmania

Inspired by a design trip to Tasmania, the home of Sheridan’s founder Claudio Alcorso, the Autumn/Winter ‘16 collection Beyond the Surface, features beautiful designs, raw textures and uncompromising luxury.

Often referred to as the ‘The Natural State’, an untouched and solitary beauty, Tasmania’s one-of-a-kind landscapes were transformed into intricate illustrations, etchings and watercolour paintings that through digitisation create a balance of contemporary yet classic weaves and timeless prints.

From bedroom to bathroom, top of table and beyond, Sheridan takes inspiration from the possibilities of our great Australian landscape. Key seasonal colours include blush and heather tones, levels of sand, gold, greys and silvers, as well as saturated pacific blues and aquamarines.

New for this season, Nashe, is Sheridan’s first ever 100% stonewashed cotton sheet collection. Crafted to the most premium standards, Nashe is contemporary sheeting which has been stonewashed and treated to enhance the feeling of pure cotton. This collection also sees a significantly expanded linen offering, allowing customers to experience ‘linen at every level’ with a collection of 100% linen to suit every home and aesthetic from relaxed and rumpled, to polished, detailed and intricate.

The expansive collection continues with new decorative cushions and throws, bath, body and home fragrance products, towels, table linen, loungewear, kids clothing and personalisation across the majority of the range.

The Autumn/Winter ’16 collection will be available at Sheridan boutiques, David Jones, selected specialty retailers and online from February 2016.

Blockhead Carlene Duffy’s 5 tips for updating your bathroom

Post author By Guest Poster
Post date November 19, 2015
No Comments on Blockhead Carlene Duffy’s 5 tips for updating your bathroom

By Carlene Duffy

With so many home renovation shows on television and with ready access to design imagery by way of blogs, Instagram and Pinterest, there’s little doubt your head is swimming with information and ideas.

So, to make it easier for you, here are my five top tips for injecting some luxe to your bathroom this summer.

1. Marble

This year has been all about marble, and your bathroom should be no exception. Marble is an age-old material that adds an element of elegance and style to your interior. Its timelessness as a material also means it is set to have longevity as a design trend.

Whether it’s rectangular floor to ceiling marble tiles, or mosaic marble feature tiles, your bathroom will exude instant luxury. But if changing up the tiles isn’t an option, opt for a smaller scale marble feature, such as a trinket bowl, soap dish or pendant light.

2. Matte black and white tapware

While white on white bathrooms are a safe no-fail design choice, which is unlikely to date, recently we have seen a big shift in bathroom colour palettes. We are seeing more bold choices such as black, navy and grey tones, creating drama, richness and a bit of sass.

If you’re bold enough and looking for an alternative to traditional chrome or stainless steel tapware, add a spunky matte black or matte white mixer, basin or vanity to create a sophisticated but edgy bathroom.

3. Light it up

While down lights are a popular and practical way to light up any space, adding varying types of lighting is the ideal way to create mood, interest and ambience. This is especially true in bathrooms. For me, bathing or showering is not just about getting clean but about unwinding from the day. You should have the option here to switch off the down lights and flick on a staggered cluster of pendants hanging over one side of your vanity or a couple of wall lights hanging either side of your mirror.

You may also include an LED strip in your shower nook and under your vanity, which combined with your pendants or wall lights, will create the perfect type of light for shower/bath time. Decorative lights such as pendants are also effective at adding another dimension to your bathroom and breaking up all the hard surfaces.

4. Bright coloured towels

Creating a fresh look in your bathroom doesn’t have to break the bank. You can achieve a new look by making small changes like displaying a new set of good quality, coloured towels. Personally, I only use dri.glo bath towels, which are made with premium Australian cotton, which means higher absorbency and a softer touch, and come in a huge range of colours.

5. Add a little greenery

With backyards becoming smaller and in many cases, non-existent, we are seeing indoor plants becoming increasingly popular. Greenery is an essential ingredient to the success of any interior space, including the bathroom. It is the final touch that makes a space feel complete. Whether you choose to create a high-impact green wall, place single potted plants on the vanity, or hang a group of ferns from the ceiling, plants are a simple and inexpensive way to add colour, life and vitality to your bathroom.

No Comments on Country Road’s laid-back High Summer collection

With a focus on laid-back resort styling, outdoor living and relaxed moments centred on family and friends, High Summer 2015 sets the tone for the upcoming season.

Designed with modern simplicity in mind, featuring premium timber, porcelain, brass, wool, linen and handmade glass in a muted palette, styling is kept informal to create a relaxed look made for the beach season.

Add a pop of colour with this season’s stand out colour of muted, dusty pink. When paired with neutrals, marble and wood it adds a refreshing update for the seasonal change.

Linen bedding offers a lived-in luxury with the naturally washed-back hues and texture bringing the mood of far-flung destinations into the home. Cushions, throws and napery are heavy on monochrome with print applied graphically in indigo, pale grey, soft pink and touches of magenta.

Geometric trivets, spherical vessels and loop vases in marble add sculptural moments throughout the home. And Christmas is covered with the new Scandinavian style jewellery box, beach towels in pastel retro shades, votive sets, photo frames and celebratory glassware all indispensable for gifting and entertaining.

Sunday Minx towels: European quality with Aussie style

No Comments on Sunday Minx towels: European quality with Aussie style

Blending European quality and refined craftsmanship with the raw colours and fresh modern designs of the Australian lifestyle, Sunday Minx’s debut collection of deluxe bath towels are bold but elegant.

Created by Sydney-based Brooke Rudzis, the brand is founded on the philosophy that ‘home is where the good life begins’, with the brand aiming to create beautiful products that enrich daily living. “My vision was to create products with superior quality and playful designs, yet still maintaining an unpretentious approach,” explains Brooke. “I want Sunday Minx products to be aspirational yet also attainable.”

With the Spring Summer 2015/16 Collection consisting of four large bath towels and three hand towels, the designs incorporate tonal greys and whites juxtaposed against splashes of tangerine, mint and dramatic monochrome. Inspired by the post-modernist designs of the Italian-based The Memphis Movement from the early 1980s — known for challenging perceptions of conventional design — the trend is clearly reflected through the inaugural collection. “Through the use of colour and pattern I tried to encapsulate the Memphis trend with geometric shapes, powerful bright hues and a willingness to challenge traditional bath towel design.”

With quality paramount, the towels are handcrafted using the finest 100% Turkish cotton, renowned for its world-class quality, softness (you won’t feel anything quite like it!) and absorbency, with the cotton fibres possessing a unique ability to dry very quickly.

Sunday Minx’s Spring Summer 2015/16 Collection is available now. Shop online.

Così: super-sized, colourful bath towels for stylish bambini

No Comments on Così: super-sized, colourful bath towels for stylish bambini

The by-product of a lawyer, an industrial chemist turned marketing manager and four children under five (eek!), new brand Così have created a range of 100% cotton, delightfully soft and irresistible to touch bath towels for children.

Designed by Melbourne-based Italian sisters Tina and Jo Randello, each towel is full-sized despite being for little ones. “Our research with children and parents told us size really does matter with towels,” explains Tina. “They have to be large enough to cocoon the smallest baby to the biggest kid. That’s why we call our Così towels children’s bath sheets.” And if they’re full-sized they’re perfect for adults too… just saying!

Fresh and contemporary, all four designs boast an exotic colour scheme in shades that reflect what kids love, but also tap into mum’s sense of style. ‘The collection captures an empowering richness and opulence that is fun for children of all ages and will give instant glamour to an adult’s bathroom,’ says Jo. “You won’t be blamed for wanting to drape your Così towel over the back of your kid’s bedroom door or in the bathroom all day.”

Setting the benchmark for intelligent design that will stand the test of time, the towels are made from 500gsm pure cotton and feature a pattered side in sheered velour and a block grey side in absorbent looped terry. All towels are machine washable and have been subject to a rigorous testing regime before being released.

Così towels can now be pre-ordered online for a September delivery and will also be exhibited at Life Instyle, Melbourne next month.

No Comments on Exclusive first look: GANT Home’s Spring/Summer collection

Mixing their American east coast heritage with the laid-back mood of California, the Spring/Summer GANT Home range is full of vibrant colours and soft materials.

Inspired by their signature shirting patterns (it cannot be forgotten that GANT’s global success began with the one humble shirt), they have updated their patterns like madras, tattersall and tie prints into relaxed Pacific shades. Partnering this with vibrant palms and bright pastels in 340-thread-count and GANT Home have created a bedroom of pure luxury with a quintessentially cool LA vibe.

Into the bathroom and their accessories are also colourful and elegant. Their towels feature a rainbow palette of apricot, yellow, green and blue and have been left untwisted for an extra soft finish; and their soft classic robes in sorbet shades and elegant soaps with scents reminiscent of the wild Pacific, offer that holiday feeling without having to leave the comfort of your home.

The GANT Home range also features beautiful linen cushions that have a subtle and elegant sheen. In soft pastels and bright sorbet hues they’re made to elevate sofas all season long. Perfect for our current dreary days!

GANT Home’s Spring/Summer range will be in stores the first week of July. Find your nearest store.
