We know that most homes don’t look like the ones you see in glossy magazines, so understanding how Australian families really live is at the heart of everything we do.
Recently we moved in with some Australian families and made some incredible discoveries. Like how an extendable table often means that relaxed afternoon lunches can extend into evening dinners.
Put simply, we discovered how houses become homes.
Now, we’d like to hear from you. Share your thoughts and see how they shape up against the rest of Australia at www.thisishome.com.au.

It’s hard to believe that Summer socialising can cause long-term damage to our bodies, but with a little planning, you can help protect yourself from premature ageing and skin cancer – enjoying yourself even more along the way.
This summer, follow these simple steps to protect yourself from skin cancer:
1. Invest in a gorgeous broad-brimmed hat
2. Wear clothing that offers plenty of coverage – we love long summer dresses & kaftans
3. Sit in the shade – you’ll feel better for it after a long day
4. Wear fitting, UV-protected sunglasses
5. Apply SPF30+ sunscreen at least 20 minutes before heading out in the sun. Reapply every 2 hours
6. If possible, stay out of the sun between 10am & 3pm
7. Sunbeds are a big no-no. If you’re after a gorgeous tan, there are plenty of great tanning creams on the market
