Inside NRL star Nat Butcher's brand new multi-million dollar Sydney home as it hits the market
NRL star Nat Butcher and his wife Harmony have listed their brand new Sydney home on the market. The Sydney Roosters player and the model recently completed the stunning duplex in Matraville, which is set to be auctioned on July 19. Future Flip, a Sydney-based design and construction company, demolished the existing two-storey home that the couple had purchased for $2.71million. In its place on the 771-square-metre parcel of land, there are now two homes - one of which the couple are selling and the other they intend to live in. The property boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a double garage, 'expansive open plan', and a rear lawn that features an inground swimming pool.

The interior design has been led by Harmony, who has been documenting her sponsored styling journey with James Lane furniture on Instagram. 'The most exciting part of this build has been turning four walls into a space we call home,' she captioned a carousel of photos posted this month. According to the listing, the home is 'flooded with natural light' thanks to an extraordinarily high stud ceiling. 'The build took just 10 months,' Harmony told The Daily Telegraph. 'Quality is important to us; we didn't want to compromise on the build or finishes. 'We had control over the finishes and layout and took on board the architect's great ideas. They brought our vision to life.' She praised the sunken lounge and open fireplace trimmed in white stone as her two favourite features. Listing photos show breezy beachside interiors that use light coloured wood and textured stone to accent the tall white walls. The large open kitchen features a butler's pantry and 'sand concrete' countertops and island, with fully integrated appliances. The four main bedrooms, including the large primary suite, are located upstairs alongside a family living room on the upper level. On the ground level, is the open plan kitchen, dining, and sunken lounge - which opens onto an alfresco dining area, landscaped backyard, and the swimming pool. An additional fifth bedroom is housed on the ground floor, alongside an ensuite bathroom. Sydney Roosters star Nat, who was recently ruled out of playing for the next six weeks due to injury, said the the turn-key home will appeal to a growing family like theirs. The sale comes after the couple announced the birth of their son Beau back in April. 'It's crazy to believe a love like this exists. We are all happy and healthy and enjoying our little love bubble,' the pair said at the time. Friends and fans were quick to share their congratulations with the couple. 'Ohhh he's soooo perfect. Congratulations you two,' one fan wrote. 'Huge congratulations to you both :) You look radiant and how gorgeous is Beau xx.' 'Okay, this is the absolute best and he is just PRECIOUS and beautiful. So are you!! Congratulations and well done mumma!' another commented. 'Tears in my eyes looking through all these amazing photos and videos. How special ! Welcome to the world little man. We can't wait to meet you xxxx.'

7 Summer Decorating Trends Designers Are Already Seeing Everywhere
From elevated coastal influences to sculptural furniture to playful accents, this summer's design trends have something for everyone. To find out what's trending this season, we scoured reports from Pinterest and Houzz and talked to interior designers about the colors, pieces, and styles they're seeing on the rise. Rather than a too put-together look, homemade-looking accents and a plethora of textures are popping up—and the laidback feeling of summer is the perfect time to bring more of this undone-ness into your space. 'Right now, it's all about pieces that bring personality and charm into the home,' says Ursula Carmona, a home style expert and Featured Finder for HomeGoods. Whether you're embarking on a full home redesign this season or shopping for a few statement pieces to complete a room's look, these seven trends are sure to inspire. is a home style expert. is an influencer and interior designer. Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of The Brownstone Boys are home designers and renovation decor for summer? Groundbreaking, we know. Coastal motifs may be a seasonal staple, but this year's version is more elevated and refined, with neutral palettes and understated accents. 'Soft cabana stripes, sea glass accents, rattan, and breezy white fabrics set the tone,' says interior designer Jenny Reimold. 'Deeper sandy hues and nautical navy are resurfacing, but in a more layered, lived-in, effortless way.' A minimalist approach maximizes comfort while keeping the coastal look feeling timeless, rather than kitschy. 'Furniture is low, oversized, and lounge-worthy—creating that relaxed, coastal minimalism that feels like a vacation at home,' Reimold, a HomeGoods Featured Finder, adds. All four designers we spoke to are seeing sculptural furniture everywhere this season, and the 2025 Home Design Trend report from Houzz predicted the same. 'Sculptural, low-profile pieces are everywhere—curved sofas, oval dining tables, and chunky armchairs that invite you to sink in,' Bordelon says. 'Gone are the days of boring furniture and accents designed only for function,' says Carmona, noting she's seen plenty of pieces big and small (especially at HomeGoods) leaning into the sculptural trend including furniture with swooped arms and curved backs, as well as decor like trays and baskets with scalloped edges. There's a noticeable shift toward cozier, classic design—a trend that Barry Bordelon and Jordan Slocum of The Brownstone Boys are calling 'soft heritage.' 'This season, we're seeing a shift toward warm minimalism with historic undertones,' Slocum says. 'Think vintage silhouettes, relaxed upholstery, and just a touch of quiet luxury. It's a look that feels elevated, but is surprisingly attainable.' The same is true for accents and finishes. 'Brushed brass and champagne-toned silver are replacing high-shine metals with something warmer and more relaxed,' Reimold says. While cool and coastal practically screams classic summer, designers are also predicting a turn toward warmer, earthier aesthetics—a look that's inspired by warm, sunbaked destinations like African deserts, the Australian outback, and the American Southwest, Reimold says. She recommends bringing this trend into your home via rustic neutrals, clay tones, and natural textures like raffia, jute, and worn leathers. But for those looking to make a bigger statement, paint is always an option. 'Warm neutrals with a touch of pigment—soft olive, chalky peach, and weathered terracotta—are everywhere right now,' Bordelon says. Bouclé lovers, don't fret: 'Bouclé is still trending,' Carmona says, 'But we're seeing softer, more evolved versions in new colors and tones.' And it's not the only textile making waves this summer. Designers also highlight velvet, tweed, raw linen, and washed cotton as top picks. 'It's all about comfort you can feel,' Carmona says. 'Woven accents are especially in demand—think grass cloth furniture, basketweave lighting, and chunky knit throws that add dimension without visual clutter,' Reimold says. Neutrals and minimalism might always be popular, but summer is the perfect time to invite some joy and color into your space. 'There's a lighthearted vibe making its way into interiors—from checkerboard motifs to handblown glassware and punchy ceramics,' Slocum says. 'It's less about rules and more about joy, and we love mixing in those unexpected touches.' Whether it's a strawberry vase or shell-themed tchotchke, designers are seeing more and more personality. 'Whatever your obsession, chances are it exists in accessory form to help bring that playful energy into your home,' Carmona says. Pinterest has noted a sharp rise in searches for bold, expressive decor styles like 'eclectic maximalism' and 'vintage maximalism.' And searches for 'eclectic apartment' are up a whopping 630%, suggesting that renters and city dwellers are leading the charge in embracing bolder, brighter interiors. 'Summer is always the season where trending colors get just a little edgier and this season, berry tones are stealing the spotlight,' says Carmona, who's seen these pops of color everywhere from ceramic dishes to outdoor melamine serveware. Pinterest is seeing red too, with equally bold cherry hues spiking in popularity: Searches for 'cherry bedroom' and 'dark cherry red' are both on the rise. Rich jewel tones and hues like indigo and terracotta can also make a huge impact, adding depth and contrast to your space. Designers are seeing these rich hues used on everything from plush ottomans to wall art to tile. Read the original article on Better Homes & Gardens
