The Block

If you’re planning a new build or major renovation, this is your guide on how to incorporate the best possible building materials into your home for beautiful, sustainable and comfortable homes.

Curb appeal certainly sets the tone for the entire feel of your house. As a guest or potential buyer walks by, the house façade and landscaping are the first things that will draw their attention, so you want to get it right. This year on The Block, we explored a number of unique styles.

The auction date looms for the contestants on The Block 2022 and one lucky team has scored their place on the cover of coveted Domain magazine, whose editor Alice Stolz sat down with The Blockcast host Jono Fleming to talk about basement week’s big reveals.

Too often left to the last minute, landscaping provides the perfect finishing touches to a home, making a new build look established and connected with its neighbourhood. Jono sat down with landscaper to The Block, Dave Franklin for The Blockcast to get the inside scoop.

Looking beyond the practicality of its narrow walls, hallways act as a conduit to our main spaces, like an artery which connects our meticulously designed rooms into one cohesive space. This week, Jono chats all things hallway and laundry with The Block Shop co-founders Emma & Sarah.

Lending itself to the laid-back Aussie entertaining style, open plan living and dining is not going anywhere and it’s now more important than ever to build spaces that not only look beautiful but feel comfortable too. Blockcast host Jono Fleming caught up with head of design at Freedom, Kate Hopwood to talk about arguably the most-used area of the home.
