Wallstudio on The Block Fans v Faves

The Block is one of our favourite shows here at Wallstudio. We have been fans for a long time and have been thrilled to have some of our designs included in The Block Shop's online store for the past few seasons.

We were super excited to discover a canvas or two on display in the background of Shelley Craft's Wallpaper challenge on The Block Fans v Faves set in The Block Shop's Pop-Up store in Melbourne earlier this week!

That's right! That's a Bright Pineapple canvas in orange and yellow you can see in the background there! 

And that's a Toucan canvas in orange and turquoise sitting proudly to the right of contestants Lyssandra and Alisa! 

Mr toucan popped up a few times throughout the show and we couldn't be more proud!

We would like to say a BIG thank you to The Block, for not only supporting Wallstudio and our sister company My Sweet Prints, by also for bringing many great independent artists and designers work to the public's attention! The love goes both ways, we assure you!

New Design - Toucan

Meet the newest members of the Wallstudio family. They are colourful, a whole lot of fun and would love to hang out at your place! They are the new Toucan canvas designs and they are available now as part of our Welcome to The Tropics range in our store.

These colourful Toucans are sitting pretty on their perch with a bold chevron patterned background in seven fab colour combinations including orange and turquoise, fuchsia and green, and yellow and blue, to name a few.

The design is light-hearted, summery and will be a definitely talking point for any room!

To purchase your own Toucan friend head to the Wallstudio store.

Bring the Outdoors In This Winter with Indoor Plants and Terrariums

The weather is changing. The heat of Summer has faded and the cool weather is setting in. However, you can still keep the spirit of Summer alive in your home by surrounding yourself with colour and outdoor feel of indoor plants and terrariums. 

Like Macrame, terrariums conjure memories of times gone by, but have come back in a big way and are now spotted in some of the most stylish homes. Terrariums are little worlds of charm, nature and whimsy. Easy to care for and fun to create yourself [Check out Pinterest for some great tutorials], terrariums are a fantastic addition to any interior.

Indoor plants can be a little more tricky to care for, especially in the cooler months, but if you want a big statement in your home, nothing quite beats them. Whether they are small or large, a single pot or a whole cluster, indoor plants give a feeling of living among nature while still enjoying all the comforts of your home. Of course, paired with one of our oh-so-summery Welcome To The Tropics Canvases or Prints you truly can have Summer in your home all year 'round!!

Designer Shaynna Blaze Loves Wallstudio

Here at Wallstudio we are big fans of Designer Shaynna Blaze. She is the designer on Selling Houses Australia and one of the judges on The Block. She has a great design sensibility and isn't afraid to say it like it is! She is known for turning frightful rooms into rooms that delight!

That said, you can imagine how excited we were to discover that Shaynna had included our Purple Pineapple canvas in her Update Your Home spread in this week's TV Week Magazine! It's rather a huge compliment to be included in a collection of items representing the "hottest interior looks"! How's that for a vote of confidence in our design!!

We have also had a lot of fun tweeting back and forth a little with Shaynna during The Block this season!

Thanks for the love Shaynna!
