jnr.life

In a market saturated by clutter, Nikki Davis and Ashleigh Pyke saw an opportunity to enter the children’s interiors space with a more sophisticated and considered design approach.

Their label, jnr.life launched in 2018 with high quality quilted play mats, but their latest venture is jnr.play – a collection of soft play-shapes made in Melbourne for both indoor and outdoor fun.

‘We create useful play essentials for junior life (right from birth) that nurture the imagination and encourage play without forsaking a stylish sensibility suited to grown-up environments,’ says Ashleigh.

These are the kind of kids toys you’ll proudly keep on display in the home, and can even double as furniture.

‘We design for tots but appeal to a contemporary aesthetic with uncompromising detail and durable, premium textiles,’ says Nikki.

Doo Wop Kids

Sydney-based label Doo Wop Kids are bringing personality to gender-neutral kids fashion with their printed clothing, backpacks, hip packs, lunch bags, and handbags.

‘Doo Wop Kids create products that allow children to express themselves through bright colours, fun prints and loud patterns – without any rules,’ says Wendy Zakaria, who founded the label in 2015.

‘As a brand, we align ourselves to further the freedom of individuality and creativity within our children.’

With prints ranging from ‘70s inspired florals, to cheeseburgers, ramen, and world maps, Doo Wop Kids’ pieces are sure to make you smile. Items are made in both Australia and Indonesia.

Make Me Iconic

After 10 years living in Europe, Natasha Skunca returned to Melbourne and realised the gap in the market for stylish souvenirs depicting local icons.

‘The city has so much to offer that is unique, stylish, and contemporary and I wanted something in our home that brought those elements to life,’ says Natasha.

A decade later, her label Make Me Iconic is still going strong, and has evolved from tea towels, cushions and artwork to also offer beautiful, wooden toys. Amongst their best sellers are remakes of the Australia Post street mailboxes and Melbourne’s famous yellow and green trams.

‘Our wooden toys also simply don’t go out of style, and tend to be more timeless… [They] keep kids busy and they are actually doing some serious learning right before your eyes,’ says Natasha.

There’s also non-Melbourne specific souvenirs for those based elsewhere in the country – such as glass ornaments, wooden versions of Arnotts biscuits, and sequinned accessories.

Mustard Made

We’re big fans of Mustard Made – makers of colourful lockers for kids bedrooms, playrooms and adult spaces alike!

Lockers are available in a range of sizes to serve as versatile storage solutions. The Twinny for example makes for an ideal wardrobe, The Lowdown can be a TV console, and The Shorty is a bedside table alternative. The only problem is choosing a favourite colour!

‘Our lockers are designed to be simple, beautiful, and above all, super versatile, no matter how big or small you are,’ says Becca Stern, who co-founded Mustard Made with her sister Jess Stern in 2018.

‘It’s all in the little details, from the matching keyring to the flexibility of the shelves. We really want our lockers to last so they can grow with you as your clothes get bigger.’

Plyroom

‘Thoughtful’ and ‘understated’ are not words commonly used to describe children’s furniture, but not all children’s furniture is created by Plyroom!

Among this label’s wider furniture collection are several pieces specifically designed to grow with children, and last a lifetime.

‘Children’s spaces are often cluttered and busy. Our pieces sit lightly in the space and create a natural canvas for calm,’ says Plyroom director and founder Elise Heslop.

‘As families grow and needs change, our pieces can adjust and adapt to growing children and spaces as life changes. The Ava Lifestages Cot (pictured), for example, is also a desk, junior bed, and two-tier cot.’

Plyroom products are made in Australia and Italy.

Sage x Clare

A leap of faith saw Melbourne based designer Phoebe Bell found Sage x Clare in 2013, and she hasn’t looked back since!

The homewares, apparel and accessories label expanded to include a baby and kids range in 2017, offering a vibrant range of bed linen, cushions, wall hangings, blankets and muslin wraps.

‘Creating handcrafted pieces full of charm, colour, pattern and texture is the heartbeat of this brand,’ says Phoebe.

Sage x Clare’s soulful and textural wares are designed in Melbourne and made in India. ‘Each piece has such detail that it’s a joy to be surrounded by them,’ says Phoebe. ‘To hold these pieces in your hands and know that someone has learnt a time-honoured craft to create them is the most special feeling of all.’

How Can Armchairs Make Sitting Down Look Statement-Making?

We can't deny that armchairs Melbourne are the most comfortable place to sit in the house. They're so versatile, too! You can use them in your living room as extra seating space or in your bedroom as an ottoman. Have a look at your favourite armchair styles — no matter if you're looking for something simple and classic or modern and bold, these chairs will be your next go-to.

They can embrace the colour of the season.

You can make your armchair a statement piece by embracing the colour of the season. A chair in any colour can be a fusion of old and new styles, but if you're looking to show off your more adventurous side, plenty of bold hues out there will bring a new life to your living room. 

An armchair doesn't need to be limited to traditional fabrics like velvet or tweed; it can also come covered in leather or other materials that are rarely used on sofas. 

If you're looking for something more compact than a full-size sofa but still want something comfortable enough for relaxing after work with a glass of wine, Australian made sofas is just right! These pieces are available in all shapes and sizes so no matter what type of space you have available (and how many people will be using it), there's sure to be one that fits perfectly into your decorating scheme.

They can add a new texture to your favourite space.

From a distance, it can be hard to tell that armchairs are anything more than just a regular chairs. But if you get close up and take a look at the details, you'll see why they're so popular. The way they're shaped and decorated makes them stand out from other chairs in your living room or bedroom.

Every time I walk into my friend's apartment, I notice her armchair as soon as I walk through the door. She has orange walls and lots of plants around her home—but somehow, this armchair stands out even among all these other bold colours! 

It's like she said: "I have no idea how my furniture will go together until it actually does—so let's just mix everything up!"

It was definitely worth mixing things up for this look because now there is one piece that really stands out from all the rest; even though everything else might not go together perfectly (like with bright colours), having an interesting piece like this will help balance out any mismatched pieces.

They can feature creative prints and patterns.

You'll find armchairs Melbourne that are a fusion of old and new styles. If you're looking for a chair with a bold pattern, there are many options to choose from. A good way to find the perfect pattern is by looking at some of your existing furniture and accessories. If one piece in your room features a strong print, such as those below, think about how the print would look if it were used on an armchair.

Conclusion

Armchairs are a great addition to any living room or sitting area. They're an elegant way to add some character and personality to your space, without having to spend much money on them. If we had our way, every single piece of furniture would be able to do this! But if you're looking for something simple and affordable that will still make people go "wow" when they see it in person? Then look no further than armchairs!

Ripple House, Melbourne

Ripple House in Melbourne

1 Jul 2021

Design: FMD Architects

Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Ripple House

The Ripple House is a series of unfurling spaces defined by subtle shifts in the site and light. Discreetly positioned behind a single-fronted Victorian façade, the addition reinvents the previously disconnected floorplan, creating a highly adaptable family home connected to its garden. The architecture develops a narrative around reverberation and progression, drawing on the ‘ripple’ notion to explore deft forms that mediate the descent of the site’s gentle fall and associated impact on the interior.

The traditional sequence of bedrooms is maintained as a study and guest room, while the bathroom is thoughtfully re-worked. The junction of old and new is marked by a change in floor level and finish – from timber to concrete, with a lowered ceiling saturated in deep green. Kitchen cabinetry is recessive with crisp white finishes, juxtaposed with sculptural ply forms. The island bench has broad proportions with forms responding to the rippling ceiling, creating an intuitive gathering area for informal entertaining.

Beyond, a striking rippled ceiling in silver-top ash defines the principal volume of the new extension. Folded forms crank to capture northern light above the neighbouring brick boundary wall, while raking low along the southern boundary to allow neighbours the same privilege. Junctions were meticulously detailed to achieve a restrained sensibility. A ‘springing point’ anchors the ceiling arrangement, with a triangular skylight drawing in morning light and creating strong definition between dining and lounge volumes.

An angular ply unit sits in sculptural dialogue below, housing utilities in a refined and elegant gesture, reinforcing the definition between spaces while maintaining visual connections. Operable glazing unites the living room with a narrow, stepped garden along the northern edge, extending the interior footprint to give a sense of scale and generosity. The rippled timber ceiling projects along this spine, creating an inverted pathway in the sky.

A wide sliding door opens to the main bedroom, offering views through to the eastern garden. Here, a mirrored shed reflects the lush textures of the stepped garden and rippled ceiling, appearing to span the full length of the site. When the sliding door is closed, the experience of the master bedroom becomes intimate and secluded. A walk-through robe leads to a tactile ensuite finished in eucalypt tiling, responding to the natural and calming tones of nature, washed in morning light.

Ripple House is designed around the core tenets of sustainable building practice. The concrete slab provides effective thermal mass by absorbing northern sun, while the canopies offer shade to the interior in the hotter months. The walls and ceiling are highly insulated, while windows are double-glazed, effectively controlling thermal and acoustic performance. Natural and locally sourced materials are favoured, including silver top ash, ply, laminate, timber and brick. Furniture is Australian designed and made, while interspersed with vintage pieces. The rippled ceiling combines energy-conscious LED strips, animating the geometry with lines of light, transforming the impact of the ceiling between day and night. The house expresses a continual play between pragmatics and the creative reverberations between light and site.

What was the brief? Ripple House supports the clients shared and independent lives, offering atmospheres to socialise and entertain, retreat and dwell. The reconfigured space provides additional and improved amenity, with a focus of wellbeing. The gentle steps of the site are embraced, defining programme spaces while maintaining a generous sense of scale and openness. Communal and private zones enjoy equal access to the garden, while the master bedroom’s relocation to the rear affords additional privacy and seclusion. The clients’ love of Australian designed and made furniture is met with a beautiful selection of locally sourced pieces, interspersed with beloved vintage finds.

What are the sustainability features? Ripple House is designed around the core tenets of sustainable building practice, reducing running costs over the lifetime of the project. The concrete slab provides effective thermal mass by absorbing northern sun, while the canopies offer shade to the interior in hotter months. The walls and ceiling are highly insulated, while windows are double-glazed, effectively controlling thermal and acoustic performance. Cost effective, carefully detailed materials are favoured, including silver top ash, ply, laminate, timber and brick. The rippled ceiling combines economical LED strips, animating the geometry with lines of light, transforming the impact of the ceiling between day and night.

Australian English is funny because a lot of these we just use British English - eg. “ground floor” and “mobile”, i guess a couple we use American, like “skim milk”.

But most make me think “both these words are correct and somewhat interchangeable but have different connotations”

• Like your typical flat is a concrete building from the 80s, maybe 4-8 storeys, whereas your typical apartment was built in the last years and is 20 storeys tall or taller. Both of these can be correctly called by the other term, however.

• The hydraulic cargo lift I used at work was definitely a lift, however at shopping centres we often go it elevators.

• There’s a rubbish bin in my house, but my high school had trash cans - these were distinctly ‘cans’ because they were round and made of metal. The typical non metal no round bin is in no way a can, though.

• You could say you “mailed a letter” or “got a letter in the post”, but normally you’d say you “posted a letter” or “got a letter in the mail”.

• A wardrobe is a piece of furniture for storing hanging clothes. It’s probably wooden and has hinged doors. A closet is a section of your room that’s been cordoned off with sliding doors and has a rail attached. Or if you’re rich it’s a separate room attached to your bedroom that you can walk into.

• “Pants” makes me think trackpants, and “trousers” makes me think formal wear.

• “Tights” in an umbrella term for leggings, pantyhose, and stockings.

• Jumpers are tighter than sweaters, waistcoats are more formal than vests, handbags are bigger than purses.

• An anzac biscuit is definitely a biscuit, a chocolate chip cookie is definitely a cookie. I’m not sure about shortbread or gingerbread.

• You might say you’re “going on holiday over the school vacation” but it’d sound a bit weird. You’d probably say you were “going on vacation over the school holidays”.

There’s also a lot where we just have our own words apparently.

• Gumboots, not wellies or rain boots.

• Not that we don’t say “knickers” and “underwear”, but “underpants” is what I’d think of as the default word.”

• Fairy floss, never cotton candy or candy floss.

• Not that “soda” is never used, but “soft drink” is more common.

• It’s usually “ice block”, and sometimes it’s “icy pop” or “icy pole”, but never “ice lolly” or “popsicle”

• “minced meat”? “ground meat”? We just say mince.

• “pavement” and “sidewalk” are not said much, either. It’s always footpath.

• Australia didn’t really have rapid underground transport until very recently, and if we talked about eg. the London Underground we’d say “underground” and “subway” for the New York Subway. In Sydney we had “the train” which is a big heavy double-decked thing, but served a similar purpose in the city. Now that the Sydney Metro has opened, we seem to have been calling it ‘the metro’.

• “Downtown” and “city centre” are not terms we use much. Normally we just say “the city” when referring to that concept, understanding it to be separate from the larger city which also gets called “the city”. In Sydney we’d often say “the CBD” but I think that was just a Sydney thing.

• In Sydney and Newcastle we say “light rail”, though we also say “tram”. I’m pretty sure it’s exclusively “tram” in Melbourne though

• It’s “highway” usually not “freeway” or “motorway”

• “Rucksack”? “Knapsack”? These words are not used here. It’s only ever “Backpack”

Oh, and everything is chips. No crisps, and “french fries” is only occasionally used for American style fast food chips, but usually to distinguish from normal hot chips, not from the other kind. But normally those are just chips too. Usually you can tell the difference from context, but “hot chips” is the go-to phrase when you can’t. And “a bag of chips” i guess.

For any of you who are writing ‘across the pond’-here is a little guide I put together of some common differences between British and American English!

Make Your Bedroom Aesthetically Appealing With These Things

Your bedroom deserves to give you a good night’s rest. Relaxing aesthetics, comfortable bedding, carefully chosen bedroom accessories that complement the looks and your sleeping schedules, along with nightstands that offer the right amount of storage, should just be the exact things for a stylish yet relaxing bedroom. 

Here are several different accessories that can help redecorate your bedroom space:

It offers a convenient space for storage and shelf space for a computer monitor. It has a gap where you can store your keyboards and keep your working space clutter-free.

2. Orimba bed:

The Orimba bed is built with a low Scandinavian frame with sleek Japanese influences. The bed exists to support your sleep for many years effortlessly with its minimalist style.

You can choose from five

3. Orimba bedside table:

The O grip is functional as well as elegant when it comes to design. Which one’s your pick?

4. Orimba skinny tallboy:

This is a tall chest of drawer that is perfect for small bedrooms. Its tall nature makes it perfect for taking advantage of its height and offering plenty of storage space in the bedroom.

Neutral spaces are calming and can help us recharge when we’re feeling depleted. However, pared back spaces usually need a little lift, otherwise they can feel flat and dull. Adding pattern is the perfect way to energise a space.

Enter stripes and checks! These unflappable, geometric staples are a safe way to add a bold, striking element without tipping the balance out. If florals, animal print or organic patterns are stretching your aesthetic just slightly too far, then checks and stripes are the perfect alternative. Having said that, a graphic expression suits an exuberant maximalist interior just as well as a minimalist space!

Here’s a few tips for incorporating them into your space:

Placement

If pattern isn’t usually your jam, think again about including a striped or check rug into the space. The geometric nature of these patterns can instantly pull a space together. It and create visual interest to a room without being overpowering.

If you want the to make a statement but don’t want to be too dramatic about it, then a throw a few gorgeous striped cushions on your sofa – the impact is real!

Think outside the living room and add some fabulous checks to the bedroom. A check quilt cover is a fabulous way to dive in and enjoy this trend. Adding some check towels to the bathroom feels like you’ve given it a makeover.

Contrasting

Keep in mind some contrasting scale, otherwise the patterns will complete with each other. For example, if there is a narrow stripe patterned quilt cover, then choose a fat bold check. That way there is contrast between the patterns and they sit well together.

Colours

The key to mixing in a stripe or check is to stick with a limited colour palette. Mixing stripes and check patterns adds life and a joyful tone to a room however when all of the patterns are different colours, it can look chaotic.

For a calm room, stick to stripes and checks in muted colours like nude, ochre and moss green that have less contrast. If you’re looking to create an exciting, joyful space then look to how the Memphis designers used bold colours such as yellow, lilac and cobalt blue.

Keep It In Check

Unless you’re going for a maximalist vibe, be careful of overdoing one pattern. If you’re considering a checked rug, then steer clear of also using checks in your soft furnishings, or furniture. And too many stripes – such as striped wallpaper combined with striped curtains – can create a dizzying effect in a room. So – focus on one or two key pieces which add impact, and leave it at that!

Freadman White completes Napier Street apartments in Melbourne

Architecture practice Freadman White has created an apartment block in Melbourne's Fitzroy neighbourhood, finishing its interiors with gleaming brass accents.

The Napier Street apartments were designed by Freadman White for property developers Milieu. It is situated directly beside Whitlam Place, another residential block designed by the practice.

The Napier Street apartment block has a simple off-white facade

Whilst Whitlam Place has a green-hued exterior clad with corrugated panels of oxidised copper, Napier Street features a plain off-white facade punctuated by wide windows.

Freadman White says the building's pared-back aesthetic draws inspiration from Heide II – a modernist Melbourne home designed in 1963 by Australian architects David McGlashan and Neil Everist, which has masonry walls and expansive panels of glazing.

Rooms feature concrete ceilings and oak floors

An equally refined material palette has been applied throughout the interiors of Napier Street's 14 apartment units. Each home boasts oak flooring and exposed concrete ceilings, which rise up to 2.9 metres in height.

Kitchens have been finished with wooden cabinetry, white-tile splashbacks and countertops crafted from pale Elba stone.

Brass shelving and door handles have been incorporated throughout

There are some decadent touches in the apartments – for example, some of the bedrooms are closed off by glossy, full-height black doors.

Golden-hued brass has also been used to create door handles, shelves and vanity units inside the bathrooms, which are otherwise lined with grey terrazzo tiles.

Glossy black doors conceal the apartments' bedrooms

Elements in the apartment block's communal areas such as the front gate and mailboxes are also made out of brass.

"Napier Street is a symphony of robust materiality displaying organic, muted beauty carried from the exterior through to the interior experience," concluded the practice, which is led by Ilana Freadman and Michael White.

More brass detailing appears in the terrazzo-lined bathrooms

Freadman White's Napier Street and Whitlam Place projects both made it to the longlist of this year's Dezeen Awards. The practice has previously renovated a 1930s home in Melbourne's Elsternwick neighbourhood to include an angular grey-brick extension.

Arplis - News: A Young Australian Designer’s Inventive Cabin Makeover, Ikea Included

The term “loving hands at home” is typically applied derisively to crafts projects, but it feel perfect—in a positive way—for this high-style, handmade cabin remodel. Especially when you know the backstory: emerging Melbourne interior designer Andrea Moore of Studio Moore teamed up with her father, Lindsay, a handy, semi-retired veterinarian, to transform the family’s dilapidated farm property into a trio of vacation houses. Andrea’s mother passed away just as the Ross Farm project was getting started: “it has been a driving force to create something that she would be really proud of,” Andrea told The Design Files.

Today, we’re spotlighting the first, and most modest, dwelling the two tackled, a one-bedroom cabin built in the 1960s. Thanks to this inspired duo, it now comes with a Japanese bath and one of the most memorable DIY Ikea kitchen hacks we’ve ever seen.

Photography by Lachlan Moore, courtesy of Studio Moore and Ross Farm.

Above: Set on what was once was a small dairy farm, the cabin is a kilometer outside the township of Meeniyan, in Victoria’s South Gippsland, about a two hour drive southeast of Melbourne. Ross Farm’s two other rentals are part of the property, each with its own yard and vistas, and are rented out individually or as a group. Above: Plywood meets sage and warn leather in the living room. The cedar-framed French doors were introduced to make the most of the views. (“We had acquired these a few years earlier and stored them for a rainy day.”)

“It was Dad’s big idea to turn these old buildings into interesting accommodations,” says Andrea. “Our intention was to experiment and make what we could. I designed most of the furniture, lights, and door hardware, and they were made by Dad down in his shed. Since it’s a vacation house, we could push our ideas a bit and try things you might not do in your own home.”

Above: The photograph over the sofa is of Wilsons Prom, the national park down the road—it (and these photos of the cabin) were taken by Andrea’s brother, Lachlan Moore. Above: The combination of soft green and pale wood continues in the dining area. “The cabin aesthetic is both raw and refined, drawing inspiration from the local landscape with a nod to Danish and Japanese sensibilities,” says Andrea. Here and there, Andrea and Lindsay incorporated designs by favorite small Australian workshops: the hanging light is the Loop Pendant by Melbourne leather studio IEFrancis. Above: Father and daughter gave the cabin’s Ikea kitchen an entirely new look with a concrete sink, solid wood  chopping block, and shiny brass counter and backsplash. They upgraded the existing cabinets with blackened steel fronts and folded steel handles that they had a metalworker fabricate. Above: Guests are welcome to help themselves in the vegetable garden off the kitchen. There are also chickens that provide fresh eggs. Above: The Japanese bath occupies what had been a dilapidated shed attached to the cabin. “The whole room is lined with cypress sourced from the surrounding hills,” says Andrea. “It’s highly aromatic and the way the timber insulates the water makes for a memorable bathing experience.” Above: Pieces, such as the cypress stool, are prototypes designed by Andrea and made by her Lindsay. Above: The bathroom has a homemade cypress sink and one of the new cypress-framed windows that replaced the existing aluminum ones. Since there’s a lack of wall space, the mirror is cleverly positioned on a standing brass pole that also incorporates a small table and towel hook. “Being our own project allowed for an organic approach,” says Andrea. “Most of the ideas were floating around in my head or nutted out on the back of napkins.” Above: Another cedar-framed window brings greenery into the bedroom. The bench is handy for holding bags and putting on shoes. Above: The bed is inset in a knotty plywood niche with an integrated closet one side. Above: There’s also a secluded outdoor shower and wash area tucked between the cabin and its carport. Go to Ross Farm to see more.
