COVER STORY//

Egg-cellent DIY PROJECTS With the long weekend ahead of us, now is a great time to plan and prioritise those DIY tasks that have been building up around home. We have some project suggestions to get you started, and they are sure to brighten up your indoor and outdoor areas.

PAINT: FEATURES There are many ways to introduce a feature colour into your home. For homeowners who like to think outside the box, we have two great project ideas that take no time at all.

1. Arch wall feature This on-trend look will create an interesting focal point in any room, and is also a great way to highlight a unique piece of furniture or homewares product.

Time: 1.5 hours work time WHAT YOU NEED: Sugar soap, masking tape, dropsheet (for the floor), string, pencil, measuring tape, roller and roller pole, roller tray, paint brush and paint.

We like the Accent Interior Low Sheen product in pink.

METHOD Clean the wall and then measure your arch. The width and height will be dependent on the size of your space.

Make a pencil mark on both sides at the same height and then measure the gap between the two sides and mark the mid-point. Attach a pencil to the end of a length of string. The string needs to be half the width of your arch. Pin the string at the mid-point mark and keeping the

string taught, draw a semi-circle from one side to the other to form the top of your arch.

Tape off the straight edges at the bottom of your arch shape with masking tape. To make sure it’s straight, you can make a plumb by attaching keys to a long length of string and holding against the wall. Tape along this line.

Using a paint brush, paint the outline of the arch following the semi-circle pencil line. Start by painting just inside the line, then press the paint brush down with a little pressure and move slowly along the line for maximum control.

Once you’ve painted the arch use the same paint brush to cut in along the masking taped edges then fill in the inside using the roller. Allow two hours to dry and then apply a second coat. Once you have finished the second coat, gently remove the masking tape while the paint is still slightly wet. Begin at one end and pull the tape back on itself in a steady, slow motion at a 45-degree angle to the painted surface. Stand back and admire your handiwork!

tip!

When it comes to DIY weekend work, don’t get over-ambitious. Keep the number of jobs to a reasonable number and be sure to balance work with family and downtime.

2. Upcycle furniture Bring new life to an old favourite.

Time: 2 hours work time.

WHAT YOU NEED: Your piece of furniture (chair, desk, table, sideboards all work great), sandpaper, dropsheet (for the floor), brush, paint, clear coat and primer undercoat. We like the Haymes Paint Elite Quick Dry Primer Undercoat as it’s a sealer and undercoat in one. It’s easy to apply and fast drying.

METHOD Clean and sand the furniture. Apply the undercoat and allow to dry. Apply paint in your chosen colour. Once dry, apply the clear coat.

MAKE AN ENTRANCE Australia’s own renovation queen, Cherie Barber from Renovating For Profit, says it’s important to never underestimate the power of a fabulous facade – and that includes brightening up an old front door with a new coat of paint! Decluttering, tidying, cleaning, repairing and giving the front of your place some TLC will achieve miracles, she says.

“A good going over with a high-pressure hose strips decades off most old surfaces.

“And if you’ve got ugly, bare concrete paths or a driveway, then think about paving paint. You can tint it to any colour so it blends with your facade. New garden beds, an updated letterbox, some smart stainless steel house numerals, a few solar lights – it’s all those little touches that add up to a big impact.

“And don’t forget you can just paint the facade of a house instead of the whole exterior.”

What are you waiting for? Get to work!

THE PERFECT FINISH

PICK A PLANT With its cooler days, autumn is a great time to plant colourful flowers. We like roses, orchids, daisies, pansies and tibouchina varieties. When planting seedlings, add a little compost into the hole first to give them a healthy start to life. Bulbs are also a great way to introduce florals into your garden, and they can be planted directly into the ground, or in a pot.

#minimalism

#indoorgarden

The idea of stripping decor down to its essentials is a popular interior design trend that can work for many styles. By decluttering your home and getting out of the habit of hoarding, your space is instantly more calming and easy to maintain, helping you switch off after a stressful day. If you’re unsure where to start, take the opportunity to have a spring clean, donating any unused clothes or belongings to charity and finding everything a home so your surfaces are free of any clutter.

(1,884,758 hashtags!)

As well as adding a touch of greenery to a dull room, the addition of house plants is great for purifying the air and increasing oxygen levels so you can enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Whether you choose to add some plants on your bedroom shelving or fill an empty corner with a leafy potted plant, the simple addition can significantly boost your mood and make it easier to relax when you get home.

Bring the outside in by incorporating woods, hemp, and stone products into your interior decoration. Natural materials are not only versatile enough to work in a variety of styles, but the neutral appearance can help you connect with nature and feel instantly calmer. As well as being a great addition to the bedroom if you’re looking to produce a peaceful space to help you drift off, the trend is also great for the environment.

#homemeditation With the meditation hashtag having over 47 million views on TikTok, many of us are turning to meditation to help us connect with ourselves. By increasing self-awareness and controlling negative emotions, incorporating meditation into your routine can work wonders. Seek out a spot in your room to create a meditation space. You want limited distractions, natural lighting and airy surroundings.

palette The smart use of colour will help you achieve the perfect mood for your garden.

50 SHADES OF GREEN For those homeowners who prefer a flower-free, low-maintenance garden, base your look on different textures and shades of green. For a darker green, try the Zanzibah gem (pictured) or Colocasia (elephant ear plant). For a lighter colour, try Philodendron xanadu.

THE WHY Choosing a colour scheme will bring balance and harmony to your outdoor landscape. Without proper planning, you may end up with a garden that lacks consistency and appears cluttered. Garden experts recommend sticking with three to five colours. Select hues that complement each other.

VALUE OF AUSTRALIA’S HOUSING MARKET SWELLS Residential property prices rose 23.7 per cent in 2021, the strongest annual growth in 18 years. WORDS: AAP. The value of Australia’s housing market now stands at close to $10 trillion after growing at the fastest annual pace in at least 18 years during 2021.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) earlier this month reported that residential property prices rose 23.7 per cent through 2021. This is the strongest annual growth since its records began in the September quarter of 2003.

It said the value of residential dwellings has risen by just over $2 trillion since the December quarter 2020.

In the December quarter of last year, the mean price of residential dwellings in Australia was $920,100, up from $876,100 in the September quarter 2021.

ABS head of prices statistics Michelle

NEVER clean your gutters again

Marquardt said property prices rose 4.7 per cent in the December quarter, consistent with a range of housing market indicators.

New lending commitments for housing rose to a record high value in the December quarter.

“Record low interest rates and strong demand have continued to support growth in property prices”, Ms Marquardt said.

More up to date figures from CoreLogic show the prices for homes continued to climb in the early stages of 2022, albeit at a slower pace as housing affordability becomes even more stretched.

In response, the Housing Industry Association has called for housing and home ownership to be a priority in the upcoming federal election.

TIPS //

e’ve all been there; a tradesperson arrives at your home, whether that be a painter, plumber, or carpenter, and begins preparing for the job.

All is well, and you continue with your daily tasks.

But then you make a cuppa, and can’t help but wonder, do you offer them one? Or what about offering them a helping hand to get the job done quicker and take some of the pressure off them?

It’s difficult to know what the right thing to do is. With renovation projects at a high across the nation, having a tradesperson at your home seems like an inevitability in 2022. But, what are the expectations when it comes to common courtesy and having workers in your home?

The team from industry group WD-40 have spoken with a group of plumbers, carpenters and all-rounder tradespeople, to find out once and for all what the ideal tradesman etiquette is. Here’s what they discovered…

TRADE EXPECTATIONS What’s the expectation when it comes to hosting tradies? We find out.

A BITE TO EAT? While you have tradespeople working in your home, it’s only natural to feel the need

to supply them with food and drinks, as if they were guests. However, we’ve found that tradesmen never actually expect this.

When it comes to drinks, 100 per cent of the tradespeople questioned said they would never expect to be provided with a beverage. However, they would like to be offered one. This is fairly common sense, as drinks are easier to prepare and cheaper than food. On the other hand, the tradespeople also said that they would never expect food to be supplied for them, so you needn’t feel guilty for having your lunch alone!

A HELPING HAND? There are many reasons we may feel inclined to help tradespeople with their jobs while they’re working in our homes.

Whether you’re trying to help get the job done quicker, learning a new skill, or attempting to reduce the cost – the research finds that most tradespeople would rather work solo. Although some of the tradespeople mentioned said they don’t mind a helping hand now and again, the majority claimed they would prefer to be left alone to complete their jobs

tradespeople actually prefer to be paid?

When as asked what their preferred method of payment was, 100 per cent said they would choose a bank transfer as their top choice. Simple, hands-free, and easy to track, bank transfers seem to be the most popular payment method amongst tradespeople. Coming up a close second was cold hard cash. Some tradesmen are now beginning to carry around their own card machines, for ultimate ease.

“I don’t expect to get a drink, but it is always a nice gesture. I find it helps to build client relationships if you have a drink and a chat. If you’re lucky, you might get offered a biscuit or two with your cuppa, or there are the odd few clients who will offer lunch or cakes, but they are rare. Some are good as gold and some are drier than the Sahara, so I never expect anything”

professionally and efficiently. You wouldn’t walk into a restaurant and start making your own burger, so why should it be any different with tradespeople?

We also asked if the tradespeople would prefer help while cleaning up after they have finished their jobs. They may prefer to work solo, however 100 per cent of the people questioned said they would appreciate

HOW TO BE A PERFECT CUSTOMER

assistance tidying up – although would never expect it. So, if you are looking to lend a hand while a tradesperson is in your home, it’s best to offer once they have finished the actual job you’re paying them for, and help them clean up afterwards.

Leave the tricky stuff to the professionals.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY Now that you’ve provided a cup of tea, the job has been done, and you’ve helped clean up – all that’s left is the simple matter of balancing the cheque. We’ve heard of some weird and wacky ways of paying people for a job, from hundreds of coins in change to offering favours in exchange – but how do

To be the ideal customer to a tradesperson, offer them a cuppa now and again, leave them to work for the most part, offer to help clean up once they have finished, and pay them via bank transfer once the work has been done.

Of course, not every tradesperson is the same, and some may prefer to be treated with a little more (or less) pamper treatment. Remember, if you treat your tradesperson well, they will go above and beyond to provide you with the results you are looking for.

EXPERT ADVICE //

MAKING AN ENTRANCE design dream With Cassandra Fenaughty Cassandra Fenaughty is a landscape architect with more than 20 years’ experience. She is the founder and owner of an innovative renovation design consultancy, creating photo-real renovation concepts for clients looking to visualise their dream renovation before it begins. For more visit cassandrafenaughty.com.

Looking for some inspiration on how to transform the entry to your home? This month we are showcasing a concept of a beautiful Sunshine Coast home that needed an entry design to improve the first impressions and functionality of the residence.

With extended family living arrangements and children living at home longer, car parking is often a challenge. In this design we needed to provide car parking for five cars and also create a design concept to enhance the entry of the property.

Fortunately this land parcel had enough space to design a four-car garage as shown in the concept, with the addition of a visitor park to the left of the driveway. By designing the new garage in the existing carport location we were able to utilise the existing slab and simply extend it on both sides to add functionality and a design element.

Before Retaining the existing slab also lowers the cost for the client. The location of the garage hides the water tank and air conditioning units at the side of the house. The referencing of the existing roof pitches of the house, and architectural cues, provide an aesthetically pleasing built-form that ties into the home design appropriately.

To further enhance the entrance, the visitor car park was deliberately not specified as concrete hardstand. Instead, we opted for sleepers with gravel and planting to soften the zone and add more of a garden entry feel.

Balanced planting zones on both sides of the driveway welcome visitors but aren’t too large that they become a maintenance chore, while bollard lighting will add a soft glow for evening guests.

We hope this concept has inspired fellow renovators to look outside of the square with their landscape designs and property entry improvements.

Highlight bold colour in artwork and soft furnishings, and don’t forget to add versatility to the scheme with some additional hues such as blue, black or cream.

Dulux Autumn Forecast 2022 – Flourish palette. Styling: Bree Leech. Photographer: Lisa Cohen. Featured artwork: Connor Ives C by Elsbeth Shaw via Studio Gallery; and right, 2021 Serpent Series by Barbara Kittallides

AUTUMN INTERIORS – BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL This season, allow your interiors to provide comfort and connection to your home.

As autumn sets in and we move towards spending more time inside the home, Dulux colour and communications manager, Andrea Lucena-Orr suggests using colour to enrich your

senses and create an inviting atmosphere.

The Flourish palette – one of three colour palettes from the 2022 Dulux Colour Forecast – harmoniously blends the warm, natural

shades of Dulux Basic Coral and White Dune Quarter with the bold, rich tones of Murray Red and Discretion, to create a welcoming and comforting space where people can relax and retreat.

“There are some really beautiful colours in the Flourish palette,’’ Ms Lucena-Orr says.

To help showcase the palette and inspire the use of colour in interiors, Dulux colour forecaster and stylist Bree Leech undertook a makeover in an open-plan living and dining space using the Flourish palette. Used primarily for family time but also entertaining, Ms Leech incorporated soft pinks, warm whites and rich reds from the palette to help build on the room’s existing character and features.

“The space is a beautiful, light-filled modern extension in a family home with great architectural details. We wanted to showcase this by using the natural, muted tones from the Flourish palette on the wall as a tonal backdrop to the stronger accent colour and then punctuate the interior with bold, daring colours in the decor to create a more distinct look and feel.

“The side table and cabinet feature Red Terra, which works with other red moments throughout to connect the adjoining areas.

Adding blue and black accents also helps break up all of the tonality within the room, providing the dining area with a related identity to the open-plan living area.”

DULUX CLAY PIPE HALF

DULUX WHITE DUNE QUARTER

“I feel Dulux Clay Pipe Half will delightfully surprise people with its soft warm putty undertones and versatility, which makes it easy to use alongside many other colours, like the decadent Murray Red. White Dune Quarter will resonate with home enthusiasts as it’s a contemporary, slightly warm white that suits both traditional and modern aesthetics.”

When applying colours start with a tonal palette to build from and connect your main furniture pieces.

“To add an edge to the interior, select some smaller statement pieces that feature bold colours and interesting finishes, such as natural stone and coloured glass, to provide contrast, however, still complement and harmonise your overall colour scheme,” Ms Lucena-Orr adds.
