Art & Design

Oh, to be a mud manipulator and eat from plates that you created with your bare hands. 

We’ve teamed up with AGL Energy to bring you a few tips and tricks to inspire you to bring joy and homely touches into your digs without breaking the bank. 

The Gold Coast is literally bursting with workshops, events, and crafty learning sessions designed to unleash a brighter, happier and more productive you.

We sat down with stylist Steve Cordony to chat all things interior design, how he feels about Gigi Hadid’s chaotic pasta cabinets, vintage Brad Pitt posters and ultimately, how to transform your space into a home office of your Pinterest dreams. 

A quick day trip from the glittery Gold Coast, here’s where to head for the best shopping in Byron Bay. 

Great news, market-hungry Gold Coasters! The Village Markets are re-opening in the flesh this weekend for the first time since the coronavirus forced them to shut their open-air marketplace. 

If there’s anything we love more than supporting local businesses, it’s supporting sustainable local businesses. There’s no denying the importance of supporting small business, but now more than ever, we’re realising the immense benefits that come from shopping ethically as well as locally. 

​Queensland Government restrictions have forced the beloved Village Markets to cease the running of both their Burleigh Heads and Stones Corner events for the foreseeable future. With hundreds of small businesses left with no market to trade at, it’s now more important than ever to get behind these businesses during this uncertain time.

One of the many ways we’re surviving and thriving in the depths of self-isolation is with a little retail therapy to support Aussie fashion labels, of course.

Crockd is all about getting out of your head and into your hands. It’s a DIY pottery kit that can be delivered right to your front door, so there’s no need to break quarantine to get your craft on. 

To inspire you to live an eco-conscious life, we’re bringing you a slew of bite-size tips to reduce your eco-footprint at home. 

We’ve rounded up some of the fiercest local women in business; pouring cups of ambition by the gallon, dreaming big and designing their futures on their terms, right here on the Gold Coast. 

There’s no denying Aussies are downright obsessed with Scandi culture—and rightly so. 

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, let this be your guide to a more sustainable Christmas.

St Barts—a brand that’s synonymous with flawless interior style and design—has just revealed its third store and new headquarters: a two-storey homewares, furniture and fine art showroom in the Burleigh industrial estate, with an adjoining cafe by the dynamic young team from Next Door Espresso. 

Do yourself a favour, shop local and show your support for our pick of the best homewares stores on the Gold Coast. You’re welcome.

There’s nothing quite like a fabulously fabulous couch or sofa to make a bold statement in your home.

A house is not a home without artwork. The right pieces don’t just set the tone of your home, they also say something about you, and help you express who you are, and feel grounded in your space. So investing in some quality pieces that you love is important, and can be a lot of fun. That said, we don’t always want to ‘invest’ quite as much money as what all the lust-worthy pieces we see on Insta are going to set us back.

Indoor plants are all the rage right now and we’re the first to admit we’re totally obsessed. Plants in the kitchen, plants in the lounge room, plants in the bedroom…plants everywhere! 

This weekend, you’re invited to chase rainbows with much-loved Gold Coast creative, Tess Guinery—on a mystical rainforest retreat! 

Pick up a new hobby or brush up on an old one with all of the best Gold Coast workshops to try this summer.

The days of murdering countless innocent indoor plants are over, thanks to this nifty little app.

It’s something we all wish we could do, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze styles. A girl can dream, right? 

With local designers as good as ours, you need not look further than the immediate stomping ground when picking out your next favourite accessory.
