7. Nordic minimal In a similar fashion, laid-back, uncluttered Scandi styling allows us to reclaim a sense of simplicity in our increasingly frenetic lives. “When it comes to the preferred bathroom look and feel for 2018, our research tells us that Nordic minimal is still our number one go-to trend,” says Santilli. “People love it because it’s clean, simple and high impact, plus it can be achieved on all budgets.”

Why we love it: With all that concrete, the kitchen in this Perth home risked evoking a rather utilitarian feel… until the introduction of sunshine yellow in the overhead cabinets. An inspired choice by the team behind it at Klopper and Davis Architects. We’re also loving how the colour is echoed in the pillar outside.

9. Light colour scheme Sometimes solar penetration from other sources such as south-facing and clerestory windows still isn’t enough to create that light-filled ambiance you’re after. If this is the case, use a light-enhancing palette of white walls and furniture paired with pale upholstery to bounce the available light around and make the space feel brighter.
6. Introduce clerestory windows A great way to allow northern light to enter your home is to incorporate clerestory windows along one or more walls in your living space. These small windows are installed along the top of the wall just before it meets the roofline, oriented towards the north and north-east so they capture the light, which can then be directed to any part of your home. To draw in even more light, you can also have the roof angled to increase the size of the windows. Learn about high-performance glazing
21. Location: Melbourne, Victoria Why we love it: Another beautiful island bench. This time in grey box, which plays off beautifully against the spotted gum floors.
17. Location: Melbourne, Victoria Why we love it: 18mm thick hoop-pine plywood lines the walls of this gorgeous ‘kids’ pod’. Mihaly Slocombe used Wattyl water-based Estapol finish to protect the plywood while staying true to the original colour. She cleverly painted the studs black before installing the ply, leaving 5mm shadowlines. A beautiful example of using ply – and contrast – to great effect.
