Designer: Simone Mathews
What will 2021 hold for you?
Personally, purchasing a home for my family of six. It is time for us to finally settle down and create that holiday feeling for our everyday. I also am going to be taking some inspiration from The PAUSE and taking a day each week to just be.
Professionally, so many exciting things. I have another online series called The CLIENT, some amazing holiday home projects across Australia and I will be launching a series of online education around building, design, styling and all things holiday properties. So, it is going to be an exciting year ahead that is for sure!
What do think will be trending in 2021?
Creating homes to feel like they are an escape. With so many people working from home and generally spending more time in our houses, we will see a push to more of a holiday at home feel.
Less is more will be on trend. And houses working smarter not harder when it comes to function and space.
Designer: Bijour McDonald
What will 2021 hold for you? I can honestly say 2020 has been my best year yet for me! I started the year saying I wanted this year to be the year I started working with other creatives and surrounding myself with like-minded people and I honestly couldn’t have dreamed that I’d be hiring my home as a shoot location and providing photography for brands that have products that align with my style. So I hope this road continues goes far and long for me in 2021.
What do think will be trending in 2021? Think Mediterranean Villa vibes. I think it’s going to be arches, curves and rendered Interior finishes. Arches and curves are making their way back (much to my bricklayers dismay lol) we seem to be inspired by European trends and the want for that really earthy vibe and imperfect, textured or raw finish mixed with natural elements like timbers and rattan. Built in rendered lounges and seats, rendered bathrooms and feature niches are on peoples wish lists. I recently had my red brick house rendered in an ‘undulated’ finish, It’s painted white and now I feel like I’ve been transported to Europe without the plane fair and jetlag! This is one trend I’m loving!
Designer: Leah and Fliss from Bone made
What will 2021 hold for you?
Bone Made are growing and expanding and we are about to hire out first team member which we are very excited about! We hope to continue to take on a mix of both residential, commercial and hospitality projects and work with more beautiful clients.
What do think will be trending in 2021?
Due to the wild 2020 we have all had, we truly feel people will place more of an emphasis on their homes due to being forced inside more. We feel the ‘earthy, relaxed, homely’ vibe will continue on to 2021.

Designer: Rose and Gina from Studio Yugen
What will 2021 hold for you?
We know that anything locally designed and handmade will remain a focus for 2021. We've all experienced the shortage of goods this year and this has opened up such incredible opportunities in the market for people to focus on supporting Australian products. People will continue to question where things are being made and as designer's we will do our part and ensure things are sustainably sourced and fill people's homes with endless joy.
