Whether you’re looking to bring some life to those empty white walls in your home, or wanting to make an epic design statement that will leave your guests wowed, the neon sign trend has exploded with every celeb from Kendall Jenner to Elton John and The Biebers spicing up their pads with these punchy lighting alternatives. 

If you’re not so keen on spending hours scouring the web or braving the typical big shopping centre madness, let us point you towards a more enjoyable way to shop this Christmas. One that involves trading those big chain stores for a string of independent boutiques full of sophisticated, unique and sustainable gifts. And provides plenty of opportunities to refuel at incredible cafes, bars and eateries. We’re talking, of course, about Fremantle. 

From food and fashion to beauty and beats, here's the design inpso you need to help you make space for the things that matter most.

Bring your wildest interior design fantasies to life at the mammoth IKEA Festival.

Find your new favourite artwork at Revealed, an online art market housing original, ethical artworks from more than 29 regional and remote WA Aboriginal art centres and emerging independent artists. 

As we edge our way closer to the final chapters of 2021, a year dominated by snap lockdowns and subsequent digital connectivity, we sat down with Melbourne stylist and creative director Ella Murphy to discuss the future of fashion. 

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. 

The Market Hub has opened in Innaloo to help vendors guys get back on their feet after COVID-19. 

The Market Hub has opened in Morley to help vendors guys get back on their feet after COVID-19. 

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. 

It’s a tough time for small businesses right now, there’s no denying it, but one thing we’ll never get sick of is seeing people rally to help one another out; and that’s exactly what the Small Business Online Marketplace is doing.

Perth Upmarket is WA’s biggest design market so after cancelling their scheduled market this weekend, they've decided to host the ultimate Perth Virtual Upmarket so you can support small businesses online.

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. 

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.

 The House Awards champion the country’s most jaw-droppingly beautiful architecturally designed digs. Peep a few of the Sydney homes that have been shortlisted to win this year.

Perth’s small-batch fashion label Hickey Hardware and the Alex Hotel are joining forces this March for a seriously good looking party.

People who like to froth over fancy-pants homewares (so, all of us, basically), we’ve got a shit load of piping hot furniture porn coming at you today—you lucky ducks!

When you think IKEA, you think of that bookcase you build back-to-front, ball pits full of screaming kids, and sketchy $1 hotdogs ("I'll have three, thanks"). Space-age furniture collabs with NASA, not so much. 

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.

When you think about how much time we spend inside our homes it doesn’t make sense to be haphazard with the décor. It doesn’t need to look like the Guggenheim but acknowledging the power of a well-placed cushion to transform a room is the first step to becoming an interiors god… The second step is having a creative breakdown when the internet yields an utter lack of interior inspiration.

Wellll, their art is (duh). 

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

You don’t have to be an art buff to recognise the fantastical and incredibly colourful works of artist Yayoi Kusama. From her infamous pumpkins (swoon!), instantly recognisable polka dot motifs, to her latest immersive pieces involving mirrors and light, Kusama’s creations are adored on a global scale.

Perth’s art scene isn’t just for the gifted—there are plenty of gorgeous art spaces offering workshops and classes for beginners in the coming months. Before you start hibernating, here’s a list of workshops to consider doing when the beach is no longer an option.

As if Perth wasn’t pretty enough already, a bunch of talented street artists went and made it even prettier with their creative masterpieces. From Fremantle, through to Mount Hawthorn and out to Victoria Park, Perth is covered in glorious street art that makes us swoon.

Having art in your home is a true sign of adulthood. There’s a marked point in your life when your perception of ‘cool room décor’ shifts from band posters and polaroids, to strikingly beautiful art. The hardest part of this shift though, is knowing where to actually find said art. Don’t worry, though, we’ve rounded up a list of 4 places where you can buy art online.

It’s a long weekend for some (you clever things, you) but also the standard two day-er for the less fortunate folk. Stress less though, whether you’re continuing antics from Australia Day or just looking to unwind after the work week, this weekend is locked and loaded with an array of fun-filled activities. Improve your skillz on the d-floor, catch a few Aussie flicks, indulge in a delish vegan feed or re-live your Straya Day antics on a boat—it’s all happening this weekend peeps.

Buying art is kind of hard. It’s like ordering food at a restaurant—you spend hours agonising over the menu only to be hit with jealousy when your dining partners’ food comes out. We get it. We’ve all been there. That’s why we thought it was high time to put together this nifty little guide to picking art. 

From amazing restaurants to fancy shops and some of the prettiest streets in Perth, Claremont has got loads to offer—but did you know there's a hidden side to Claremont that only the locals know about?

The art world can be kind of intimidating; we totally get it. Alongside the pressures of finding art that’s actually cool (say no to Ikea posters!), there is the pressure of finding art that you’ll actually love for the entirety of its life.

What’s better than treating yourself? Treating yourself when you’re on holidays, of course! And there’s no better place to do that in WA than in our glorious south west. Home to some pretty speccy local designers—start saving because you’re going to need it on your next trip down south!

Do you ever get the impression that literally everyone has their grown up stuff together but you? A house, a holiday, even a pretty pooch; why does no one speak about their secret saving behaviour and how do people budget when there’s so much do (read: eat)?

What was once the hoity toity-est part of the Golden Triangle, Claremont has transformed into a bustling hive of eating, drinking and shopping with a whole lot less of the snobbery.

Oh how we love the port city of Fremantle! It’s the hippy love child of the Perth family with its irresistible mix of markets, street performers, waterfront and colourful locals.

Holy hell, it's April! Celebrate the start of the month with some epic food noms, some singles yoga, by getting your geek on, with some horsies, or with some puppies.

Rottnest is like a collage of born and bred Perth peeps’ memories—running free and wild as a kid without halting to mum’s orders, first kisses on Pinky’s beach, partying from sunrise til sunset and in between at school leavers, boat trips (if you’re lucky) that provide the ultimate serenity of waking up to the rocking of the ocean’s gentle breaths and (if you’re fit) running on to the soft sand of Thomson’s Bay after completing the epic 20-kilometre journey of the channel swim.

So you’ve been invited to another wedding. Your fridge door has exploded into a glittery embossed mess. Your head is dizzy with poems about wishing wells and your sky-high wedding heels have been worn down to nubs. 

Ok so this weekend we are welcoming in the most anticipated season—SUUMMEERRRRR! Which of course means copious amount of food and drinks, along with some chilled out beach vibes and live music. December means we also have some Christmassy things up our sleeves and some ponies to go with it. Because, ponies.

It’s no secret that WA has a love affair with all things handmade. Yep, making stuff with your hands is the business and we have totes jumped on the workshop bandwagon! In Perth, we are spoilt enough to have an abundance of talented creatives hosting a huge range of workshops covering everything from macramé to kokodama. Button up yo denim overalls and tie up that hair, its time to learn some new skills! #skillspaythebills

The Beaufort Street Festival graces us with its presence once again this weekend and it is PACKED with food, fun and festival goodness. After some thorough research, we have decided on 10 things you should not miss at this weekends Beaufort Street Festival. Here goes...
