Kona Kahlua: A Mid-Century Modern Haven

Nestled on a peaceful, leafy acre in Nowa Nowa, in Victoria’s East Gippsland, Hutt Living is a cosy, sun-dappled sanctuary that marries functional design with luxury finishes. Thoughtfully crafted with a “less is more” approach, we had a chat with owner Cora Kenworthy-Smith about what inspired this tranquil accommodation.   Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo When and what brought about the fascination with tiny homes? The inspiration behind Hutt Living was a blend of personal and professional influences. My partner Dan has been in the building industry for over 20 years and has always been drawn to creating functional spaces. His interest in tiny homes started during his travels, where he saw various forms of compact and efficient living spaces. Inspired by this, we decided to build similar accommodation back home. The challenges and creativity involved in designing small yet highly functional spaces intrigued us, and so the concept of Hutt Living was born. With the success of Hutt Living, we’re thrilled to be starting our second tiny home, continuing our journey to create unique living spaces. Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo Why Nowa Nowa, what is your connection to this area? Dan’s family has owned a 20-acre property in Nowa Nowa for 25 years, with five acres of wetlands that border Lake Tyers State Park. They have always been drawn to the idea of living out of town but still having access to everything they need. Nowa Nowa offers the perfect balance, combining the tranquillity of a rural setting with proximity to nearby towns and beaches. Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo What does the perfect weekend itinerary look like at Hutt Living? We believe the perfect weekend at Hutt Living begins with breakfast on the deck, where you can soak in the views and the sounds of nature waking up around you. The day is spent exploring the stunning natural surroundings—whether wandering through the wetlands, discovering hidden caves, or taking a peaceful stroll along the nearby beaches. For those who love adventure, there are plenty of local attractions to uncover. Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo As the day winds down, you return to Hutt Living for a well-deserved rest. Whether you curl up with a good book or simply soak in the tranquillity of your surroundings, relaxation is key. As the sun sets, the warmth of the outdoor fire sets the stage for a cosy evening filled with board games and laughter—and a vino or two. Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo Dan is the builder, you're the stylist – what was it like working on your first home build together and how do your skills complement one another? Fun! We both have an appreciation for quality and believe that less is more. Our shared commitment to simplicity and minimalism made our choices easy. I would say our strengths complement each other perfectly. Dan brings a keen focus on functionality and design. His practical approach ensures that everything is both beautiful and useful. My strength lies in softening spaces and making them feel inviting. Textiles are where I truly shine, adding warmth and texture to bring our designs to life. Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo I Featured: Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Bere You and your mum Wendy have an interior decorating business, Seaby House, and have chosen HMCo. for a few projects – why did you select our pieces for Hutt Living? HMCo. was an obvious choice for us. We’ve always admired your commitment to quality, which aligns perfectly with our Seaby House’s design philosophy. Our vision was centred around luxury living in the great outdoors. HMCo.’s buttery soft products naturally complemented this vision, adding to the sense of comfort and elegance we aimed to achieve. The hardest part of the process was choosing which colour linen to go with — every option from HMCo. seemed perfect for our project! Accommodation: @hutt_living | Interior: @seabyhouse | Photography: @nellafullard.photo I Featured: Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Bere, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Bere  What inspired your colour choices? Our inspiration came directly from nature. We’ve always been drawn to earthy tones that create a sense of warmth. With our focus on large windows that serve as natural artwork, we wanted the interior to complement the outdoor scenery. We decided on Bere for its deep yet subdued tone, which subtly enhances the space without overshadowing the natural beauty around us.  Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Bere, Flocca Linen Pillowcase in Bere  What do you hope people will experience during their stay at Hutt Living? We want people to experience the perfect balance of outdoor adventure and comfort. At Hutt Living, it's incredibly easy for guests to feel like they’re camping—immersed in nature, surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of the outdoors—while only needing to pack a weekend bag. We’ve designed the space so that you can enjoy the full camping experience but with a touch of luxury. Whether it’s the cosy warmth of a well-designed tiny home or the ease of having everything you need right there, our goal is to create a space where people can unwind, connect with nature, and make memories without sacrificing the comforts of home.

Home of Chloe Tozer @villa_desfleurs I Interior: @chloejtozer I @jackclissold I Photography: @lillie_thompson Have you always called Noosa home? My family relocated to Noosa from South Australia when I was two years old. I feel so lucky to have grown up here and now own a business in the community. It’s a great place to call home.  Hastings Street, Noosa Can you tell us about your background and what led you to create CLO Studios? CLO was born in 2016, the year I finished my Fine Arts degree. With a background in silversmithing, I wanted to open a studio space to make jewellery as well as having an outlet to showcase beautiful brands and artists I loved, alongside objects and furniture collected from my travels. Together with our boutique, CLO evolved into offering interior design and styling services through our Atelier, working on both residential and boutique commercial projects.    Chloe Tozer at CLO Boutique, Noosa |  Photography: @jamie_.green Where do you find inspiration for CLO? My creative direction is all about celebrating artisanal skills and traditional methods of creating. The foundations of CLO Studios were built from my experiences travelling and being inspired by culture and stories. I think there is something so beautiful about bringing together different objects from opposite corners of the world and the same theory is evident in our home, Villa des Fleurs. Design should be a celebration and expression of self.   CLO Boutique, Noosa | Photography: @jamie_.green What makes Noosa special and what does your perfect weekend at home look like?  The reason I love Noosa is the natural beauty that surrounds us. We have incredible national parks, mountains and oceans in every direction. Some of my favourite places to go are Noosa National Park, and I particularly love Tea Tree Bay for a swim. For hiking, Mount Pomona is very special – the views from the top are breathtaking.  My perfect weekend in Noosa starts with visiting the Yandina Markets, stocking up on organic produce for the week, a walk and swim at our local beach in Peregian, and cooking at home with friends and family. Sundays start with a reformer class at Bare Bones Movement in Noosa Junction, more cooking and then sunset at Noosa Main Beach.  When friends come to visit, we love to head up past Noosa’s North Shore to Double Island Point, spending the day there with surfboards and a picnic.  What is your favourite time of year in Noosa and why? Winter. It’s the best time of year in Noosa. The open beaches are at their best — crisp with no wind. It’s still warm in the sunshine but at night it's cold enough to have a fire at home.  What are some of your favourite items from the CLO collection? We recently launched Choux, our latest collection of upholstered furniture which is locally handcrafted in Australia. It was dreamt of when designing my own home; I wanted a collection of furniture you would envision living in a villa by the Mediterranean Sea. I really love the Emie Sofa and Gigi Slipper Chair, both are timeless pieces that will become family heirlooms.  Home of Chloe Tozer on the Gigi Slipper Chair | @villa_desfleurs I Interior: @chloejtozer I @jackclissold Why have you chosen HMCo as one of your featured brands and can you share your most loved pieces and hues from the collection? Hale Mercantile stands out for its effortless luxury and beautiful quality. My favourite hues are Aryton, Bere, Fog and Moro. I love the frill detail of the Kristine collection and I always have the Basix Linen Quilt in Aryton on my bed. In winter I layer it over a duvet and in summer it’s the perfect weight to have by itself. For bathing, I have used the Flocca towels for years. I love how quick-drying they are and how perfectly they drape off our bathroom hooks.  Master bedroom @villa_desfleurs I Interior: @chloejtozer I @jackclissold I Photography:@lillie_thompson I Featured: Basix Linen Quilt in Ayrton Bathroom @villa_desfleurs Interior: @chloejtozer I @jackclissold I Photography:@lillie_thompson I Featured: Flocca Linen Hand Towel in Russo To explore CLO Studios, click here

A growing demand for natural and sustainable textiles has led to increasing interest in the European flax market in recent years, with pure linen proving a covetable investment by those seeking environmentally friendly fabrics that also offer quality, longevity and everyday luxury.  In Ancient times, the lengthy, arduous process of making linen – from growing the plant to the skill and time required to weave it – meant it was often regarded as a symbol of refinement and reserved for the wealthy. While customarily a fabric for the affluent, in 789 French king Charlemagne decreed that all households must cultivate flax and weave their own linen, a tradition that continued well into the 18th century.  American colonies also began to grow, harvest and process their own crops, transforming the flax into luxurious and useful everyday items such as bed linen and napery for the home. In the 19th century, the linen industry was overtaken by cotton, as craftsmen working on handlooms struggled to keep up with the speed at which cotton fabrics could be produced on the latest industrial machinery.  While further decline was largely triggered by a move towards cheaper man-made fibres, we are once again seeing linen demand rising due to its low impact on the environment – flax requires little or no fertilisers and much less water than other crops such as cotton. Flax is now grown all over the world, with French and Belgian flax considered to be the highest quality, as climate change influences both producers and consumers to favour this durable, low-impact fibre. Admired for its rich texture and timeless style, linen's aesthetic appeal is eclipsed only by its practicality – the Romans christened the flax plant Linum usitatissimum meaning 'most useful flax'. Although linen can be more expensive to buy, its hard-wearing properties mean it is likely to last much longer than cotton when cared for properly, with many choosing to invest in key pieces that will become treasured heirlooms as they once were all those years ago. Basix Linen Quilt in Sable This sentiment spans both fashion and interior design industries, with businesses seeking out environmentally friendly materials to reflect ethical practices and encourage conscious consumption. While the spotlight on linen's sustainability credentials might be a more recent trend, its natural strength and breathability, coupled with its raw beauty and luxurious textural appeal, are enduring qualities that have proved linen to be a coveted fabric for millennia – and its popularity is only continuing to grow.  Basix Linen Quilt in Sable, Flocca Linen Duvet in Sable, Crush Linen Throw in Brun, Flocca Linen Euro in Sable, Flocca Long Pillowcase in Sable, Flocca Linen Cushion in Sable At HMCo. we are passionate about true craftsmanship and considered production, sourcing only the highest quality European materials and manufacturing to create our pure linen collections.

Her work is inspired by nature, the changing quality of light, and her childhood growing up in a small town – ordinary aspects of daily life that take on a dreamlike quality through her lens. Here, she shares her recipe for a deliciously aromatic cake that invites us to find pleasure in slow morning rituals. Rhubarb Sponge Cake I Photography: @kornelia_witek_photography I Featured: Basix Linen Tutto Towel in Ayrton "This photo, as with so many others, is a result of split-second reflexes, because sometimes a split second is all you have," says Kornelia of her sun-drenched, springtime tablescape. "Imagine, a cake freshly popped out of the oven, the air still hot and swirling with a delicious aroma of vanilla, caramelised sugar, and a tart, juicy note of pink rhubarb stalks. My four-year-old bouncing at my elbow, eager for his first taste." Featured: Basix Linen Tutto Towel in Ayrton Soft, textural layers and a tonal palette of pink, white and cream lend the perfect backdrop for a relaxed yet elegant afternoon tea. "I barely had the presence of mind to catch it. A table with fresh linens, the cake, the mid-morning light flooding through the open window, and lilacs from the garden; there, a study in spring and the ordinary." Rhubarb Sponge Cake (serves 8-10)  Ingredients 340 grams of butter 340 grams of raw cane sugar (Kornelia used brown sugar in a smaller quantity) 6 large eggs 2 teaspoon of vanilla extract 240 grams of plain flour 2 and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 600 grams of rhubarb cut into 1-inch pieces (wash stalks thoroughly) *All ingredients need to be at room temperature.*You can substitute rhubarb with other seasonal fruits. Method Preheat oven to 175°C Using a mixer, blend butter and sugar in a bowl until the batter is smooth. Gradually add eggs and blend until all ingredients are combined. Add vanilla extract and mix it all together. Sift in the flour and baking powder directly, mixing with a spatula until all ingredients are combined. Add most of the rhubarb, leaving some to sprinkle on the top. Give it a few more stirs to combine everything. Line a 25cm cake pan with parchment paper, butter and flour. Pour cake batter into prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Poke with a skewer to check that the dough doesn’t stick; if it does, leave it in the oven for a few more minutes and check again. Enjoy!

If you're wondering how to refresh your bathroom and don't know where to start, rest assured that a few small considerations are all it takes to make this space a spa-like haven you'll enjoy escaping to. Whether you wish to entertain guests or simply upgrade your everyday routine, these bathroom styling tips offer both luxury and practicality.       Interior: @kyalandkara I Flocca Linen Hand Towel in Armee Introduce unexpected elements  When it comes to using decorative furnishings to inject personality, the bathroom is often overlooked due to its functional purpose. Make your bathroom as inviting as the rest of your home by hanging a striking piece of art, introducing wallpaper for pattern and interest, or layering soft textiles such as cushions and curtains that are often reserved for other rooms to add warmth and comfort.

A ladder used as a towel rack can lean against a wall and move around as needed, while a vintage chair or a simple yet stylish milking stool serves the multifunctional purpose of keeping bath essentials within easy reach.    Interior: @oho_interiors I Styling: @cate.ragan.styling I Photography: @judithmarilyn I Featured: Kristine Linen Guest Towel in Tempest Create cohesion with bath linen Matching your bath towels with your hand towels can create an interior design-approved bathroom, offering a seamless look that carries through from your vanity to your shower. Whether you choose the same colour, a tonal variation or a contrasting hue, selecting textural, hand-finished pieces from the same range lends a cohesive scheme to your bathroom styling.    Flocca Linen Bath Towel in Sable Flocca Linen Hand Towel in Sable Bring nature inside Touches of greenery can make any space feel tranquil and relaxing, while fresh blooms add a luxuriously fragrant feature. A large terracotta pot can lend rustic charm, while a basket disguises a plastic pot. Ferns and tropical pats thrive in humidity, making them ideal for creating a spa-like oasis, while a vase or jug filled with cut or dried flowers brings a special touch to a guest bathroom.    Interior: @flackstudio_ I Photography: @smartanson I Featured: Flocca Linen Hand Towel in Sable Upgrade your toiletries There is no easier way to mimic a deluxe spa experience than with a fancy soap. A little luxury that goes a long way, a sweet-smelling, handmade soap bar and a texture-rich guest towel can make something as simple as washing your hands feel like a luxurious treat. Don't save your nice things for special occasions – use them to elevate your everyday and create a memorable experience for guests.   Kristine Linen Hand Towel in Armee
