Three of the best home products you need in 2023 that have been inspired by The Block!
Without the huge pricetag!
If you’re a Blockhead you’ll know that feeling of longing you get when you watch the contestants pull together rooms on budgets that you can only dream of.
While the couples fret and stress over deadlines and tradies, we’re at home wondering what it would be like to have an actual mudroom in our house. Imagine!
Of course it would be nice to have tens of thousands of dollars on hand to load up our homes with the state-of-the-art appliances the contestants choose to impress the judges and the bidders on auction day, right? But what if we told you that you could ‘borrow’ their ideas and implement them at home on a much friendlier budget?
Take a look at the some of the inspiration we took from the most recent season of The Block.
Pizza Oven
We’re seeing more and more of them featuring on The Block, and in 2022 every single couple included a pizza oven in their landscaping plan! And there’s good reason, they’re the perfect accessory for an entertaining space, and the fact they add a little warmth means that they’re a great investment that will get used all year ’round.
Of course, you can build your own, but so many great companies supplying incredible pre-made ovens, you really don’t need to bother.
Bounty Parents loves Ooni Pizza ovens, much loved around the world and now available here in Oz, Ooni’s range of multi-fuelled portable, outdoor ovens, is famous for the ability to reach a temperature of 500°C in under 20 minutes and cook incredible pizzas in 60 seconds!
With four kids at our house, our Ooni means that everyone can have a personalised pizza with their favourite ingredients without the long wait. It’s brilliant!
We have the gas option, which is super consistent and super portable and has even coming on a camping trip, but you can also choose the wood fired option – again, entirely portable – to give you that wood-fired flavour hit in your own backyard!
Check out this page for some yummy pizza recipe inspiration for your next backyard dinner night.
From wood-fired flavour to gas-powered consistency Ooni’s range of outdoor portable pizza ovens offers you the oven you want for the back garden or beyond.
Refresh steamer
Forget heading to the dry cleaners, at home steamer stylers are the new way to bring dry-cleaning technology into your home!
Omar and Oz blew everyone away with their refresh Butler in kitchen week, and the other contestants soon followed adding steam presses of their own as the value of this new style of home-tech became apparent. Whether you want to look after work suits, delicate garments, or the kids’ school uniforms, having the facility at home is a game-changer.
And you don’t have to splash out tens of thousands either!
Bounty Parents is loving the LG Styler Steam Clothing Care System® which comes in 3 and 5 garment options for just a fraction of the price of the Blockheads’ installations!
Not only great for garments, it’s so easy to throw linens, pillows, cushions and stuffed toy collections in there for a quick refresh too. It’s a good feeling to blast those common allergens, dust mites and bacteria away. You can actually smell how refreshed they are afterward too.
The LG Styler is perfect for busy parents looking for a fast and convenient way to freshen up school uniforms and can even be used to give beloved plush toys a good clean.
Air fryer
Their kitchens might have all the most modern appliances, but parents like Ryan and Rachel knew that an air fryer in the Butler’s pantry would be getting just as much of a workout! They save time, have health benefits and make food taste great. Air fryers are now as essential an appliance as a kettle and toaster in most Aussie homes.
The clever bench-top units that circulate hot air to heat food, offering the crispy texture of deep-fried food without the oil, are a time-saving miracle, particularly for busy parents.
And while they’re perfect for quickly heating up freezer fillers, they make some pretty tasty meals you might not think to try.
Bounty Parents is loving the new Philips Essential Connected Airfryer. It has a unique ‘starfish’ design, to cook food that is crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. The XL size means the Airfryer is perfect for the whole family AND the Exclusive NutriU app that the Airfryer connects to so you can set the timer and the app and Airfryer do the rest.
My favourite feature is the fact that we can chuck in a whole chicken and have it perfectly roasted, with tender meat and crispy skin without any of the fuss and mess that traditional roasting comes along with. And if you haven’t tried air-fried pork belly crackling then you ain’t living.
And trust me when I say that air-fried party pies and sausage rolls are saving my life these school holidays. The XL’s size means that I can whip them up for the kids and their friends to feed their hungry bellies in under 10 minutes.
Monitor your meal from the comfort of your couch, the app will tell you once your meal is done! Winning.
