Inside Coastal Home Issue 1: ‘Our Coastal Life: The Designer Boys’
If you’re yet to pick up a copy of the launch issue of Australian Coastal Home, you better do so quick – it’s only on the news stands for a few more weeks! To tickle your tastebuds, here’s a little sneak peek at our feature with The Designer Boys (best known as Gav and Waz from Tv’s first series of The Block) about their gorgeous art collection series, and about the coastal move they made from Bondi to Byron :
Q. What does ‘Modern Coastal Style’ mean to you?
For us, developing a relaxed, comfortable design and palette that reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding environment is key. Opting for tones of sand, sky and sea, and selecting natural finishes, fabrics and surfaces, with interesting tones and textures keep the interiors airy and relaxed. A modern coastal style is also shaped by seamless indoor-outdoor living. It’s not about being glitzy – simplicity in the design aesthetic is ultimate beachside luxury…

Great article on Influencing.com.au: “A breath of sea air; Tim Neve on his new coastal homes magazine”
A great article this week on Influencing.com.au, the online community for Australian public relations and marketing professionals.
Thank you to Tim Lince for an in-depth interview that gives an insight into the ‘conception’ of this wonderful new publication, as well as future plans… read here:
“With a raft of new magazines across an increasingly competitive Australian publishing market, it’s sometimes difficult to spot a proper gap in the market. Designer and stylist Tim Neve used his time at Express Publications, as a contributor to titles such as Modern Home and Country Home Ideas, to pinpoint a new trend that merited a magazine all to itself – and out of that was born the seasonal publication Australian Coastal Home.“

At Home with Tim… in Real Living magazine’s ‘Aussie Homes We Love’
So thrilled to be featured as one of seven ‘Aussie Homes We Love’ in the January Issue of Real Living magazine, a group of glorious homes, all in unique styles alongside high profile homeowners such as Harpers Bazaar Editor Edwina McCann…
“Who lives here? Stylist and editor of Australian Coastal Home Tim Neve has lived in his beachside home for three years. So, how would he describe his decorating style? “Modern Coastal,” he says “Utilising the textures and tones of organic sea life and natural materials, but steering clear of being kitschy – there’s not a faux starfish in sight!” Tim’s favourite feature in his home is the colour scheme. “The calm and freshness that a neutral scheme is overwhelming” he says. And for Tim, it’s not only relaxing, but inspiring too.”
Stay tuned as Real Living will soon be hosting a web poll to vote for your favourite interior scheme (and we all know who to vote for, don’t we!) x
