Here’s everything you need to create the perfect meditation space at home.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
