Space is the ultimate luxury these days and that, of course, is rarely more evident than in the kitchen. Perhaps the biggest brag about having more space — and the most commonly wish-listed room — is the butler’s pantry, and it’s not just for show. Having the room to store things out of view — perhaps under a connected stairwell, behind the main wall of appliances or to the side — makes it a lot easier to keep your main kitchen area clean both day-to-day and when you have guests over.

But prices and quality, like all appliances, can vary wildly, so we were keen to put three popular options to the test. The contenders? The Shark StainStriker, the Bissell SpotClean and Kmart’s ‘dupe’ Anko Spot Cleaner.

The saying ‘everything comes full circle’ is true in many ways. From the (frightening) return of low-rise jeans to our revitalised love of analogue technology, for better or worse, trends follow cycles of rising to popularity, falling out of relevance and, eventually, rising back again. Even the trends you deemed too ugly and too dated to ever be revived again will often resurface when you least expect it. The same principle applies to our homes.

From the stunning coastline to the dense forests and all the way inland to the red sands, we can endlessly sing praise for Australia’s landscapes. But they do bring one downfall: extreme weather. There’s a reason droughts and flooding plains feature in our national anthem and, although humidity doesn’t make it into the official lyrics, it’s right up there as a part of life for many Australians.
