More about Shaynna Blaze:

Shaynna Blaze launched her design career in 2008 with a role as interior designer and co-presenter on the Lifestyle Channel’s award-winning show, Selling Houses Australia – arguably the Lifestyle channel’s most successful show.

In 2012, she joined the team of design experts as a Judge on the Nine Network’s award-winning reality show The Block. Starring alongside judges Neale Whitaker, Darren Palmer and host Scott Cam. In June 2018, Shaynna starred in Buying Blind, Nine’s high-stakes property thriller, during which six couples handed over their own money and their housing dreams to three experts: a real estate agent, a builder and a designer, to find, purchase and renovate a property into their dream home.

As well as sharing her design advice on-screen, Shaynna also lends her expertise to the design of countless beautiful products for the home. In 2013, she was commissioned by leading Australian furniture maker, Molmic, to design a new range. Launched in 2014, the eight-piece collection draws its inspiration from a time of elegance and grace, with a charming colour palette of snow whites, stone neutrals and calming blues. In March 2014, Shaynna launched her exclusive rug range, Textured Coast by Shaynna Blaze, designed for The Rug Collection.

In December 2015, Shaynna lit up our screens with her two-part special, Shaynna’s World of Design. The show documented Shaynna’s design journey as she worked towards creating an exclusive signature range of interior lighting. Shaynna also designed a lighting range for another major Australian wholesaler, OneWorld Collection, which was released in time for Christmas in 2015. That same year, Shaynna launched her hugely successful collaboration of art work with the Australian retailer, Urban Road. Then, in 2017 she released her beautifully versatile new range of homewares, exclusively for Harris Scarfe.

As Shaynna’s profile has grown, so too has her visibility across a number of other media platforms. Her expertise is highly sought-after in areas including design, colour and trends – expertise which has seen her writing columns in the Herald Sun and monthly online Q&As for The Lifestyle Channel, as well as featuring as a regular contributor for Grand Designs Magazine.

Always a popular choice with design magazines including Elle Decoration, Vogue Living, OK! Magazine, Belle, Cosmo & Home Living, Shaynna has also been taken up by the big publishing houses. In March 2013, her debut book, Design Your Home, hit the shelves as the perfect coffee table addition to design-lovers everywhere. Following the huge success of Design Your Home, Penguin Australia commissioned a second book, Design with Colour and Style, which was released in March 2015.

Shaynna’s website, ShaynnaBlaze.com, offers viewers an insightful look at how she achieves her breathtaking designs. The website also features articles written by Shaynna and videos allowing her to communicate to a large audience the value that can be added to a property, simply by making a few home improvements.

In 2017, Shaynna also added an online shop to her website. A one-stop-shop for all things ‘Blaze’, the online store allows customers to browse Shaynna’s best designs, including her furniture, lighting and rug range, along with her stunning artwork collaborations.

With her undeniable flair for design, as well as her warm, friendly presenting style, Shaynna has grown to become one of Australia’s best-loved media personalities. Selling Houses Australia has taken home a swag of ASTRA Awards for ‘Most Outstanding Lifestyle Program’ 2009, 2010 and 2013, and ‘Favourite Australian Program’ in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. In 2013 and 2014, Shaynna beat off stiff competition to take home the coveted subscriber voted category of ‘Favourite Female Personality’.
