Uplifting your home has never been easier. In our advice section, you’ll find practical interior design advice, home styling tips, renovation advice, gardening ideas and cleaning hacks. Whether you’re building, renovating or simply refreshing a room, Style Curator is here to guide you.

Style Curator is a leading Australian interiors blog read by hundreds of thousands of people each month. Our motto is simple: create a home you love. Founded by Interior Designer Gina Beschorner, the blog covers all aspects of home improvement and home decoration.

Many of our advice articles include input from industry experts. We call on architects, interior designers, lighting specialists, landscapers and more to share their best tips. For example, our article on how to prepare your home for sale features advice from prominent renovation experts. Our guide on how to landscape your garden includes insights from one of Australia’s top landscape architects.

You’ll also find some of our most popular design advice here. Readers love our guide to designing the ultimate laundry, our must-know kitchen design measurements, and our tips on choosing the right kitchen splashback tile.

If you’re looking for outdoor advice, we have you covered too. Explore articles on the best plants to grow in pots, seasonal gardening guides and ideas for creating an epic outdoor play area for your child.

We also share plenty of home styling tips. Think curated décor round-ups, bookshelf styling ideas, bedroom decorating tips and more. If you’ve ever wondered how to style your home like a designer, this is where you’ll find the answers.

The aim of Style Curator is always to help you create a home you love. If there’s anything you’d like advice on that we haven’t covered, we’d love to hear from you. Email hello@stylecurator.com.au to request an advice article and we’ll get working on it.
