THE BEST ON THE BLOCK

I’ve been an avid spectator of channel Nine’s The Block for many years now, and I have to say, the show never disappoints. Though engaging 10 amateur renovators to rip up and redo five worn-out apartments or houses seems disastrous in theory, the contestants always seem to exceed expectations and create stunning spaces, and this year has certainly been no exception.

The kitchen, bathroom, butler’s pantry and laundry spaces have been particularly impressive this season. If you also watched the episodes, admired the gorgeous spaces and mentally planned how you will be recreating them during your upcoming renovation, you’re in luck! You won’t have to guess which surfaces, appliances and accessorises were used — you’ll find comprehensive products lists on the following pages, which will help you recreate each of the pictured spaces to a tee. You can even mix and match to create the perfect Block-worthy hybrid if you so wish!
