COSY UP FOR THE COOLER MONTHS WORDS OZ Design As we are all gearing up for the cooler months ahead, now is the perfect time to prepare your home interior to match this change in season. Of course, embracing winter means spending more time indoors, soaking up the warmth of your coffee mug and hibernating in style. But, unlike what many moviemakers would have us believe, you don’t always need a fireplace to create a cosy sanctuary in your living space. By simply adding the right textures, colours and accessories, you can create both a luxurious and comforting style in your home.
Adding in warm white hues can take the edge off of the bright summer tones, effortlessly creating a serene living space for you and your family to enjoy. Investing in a cosy throw blanket and switching out your bright greenery with earthy dried foliage can make all the difference. A couple of our favourites include the beige Arna throw for your lounge and our Cabat vase for a texturised focal point in the corner of the room. In addition, we love the look of decorative pottery paired with smooth ceramics to simultaneously create interest and depth in the space. Whether you like to live in cosy comfort or in ultimate style, transform your home into a space that feels like there is no place like it. As you’ll be spending more time indoors, why not add a splash of abstract energy to your home with a piece of wall art like we have here. Not only does it frame the space it is in, but wall art also plays on the different elements and textiles around the room to produce a perfectly balanced harmony. For more wall art and homewares options, check out our wide range of collections online at Oz Design Furniture. The cooler months ahead also means that it’s time to start incorporating darker accents into your home décor and living space. The conventional winter colours have always been
dark, natural tones like amber, charcoal and timber. However, using black can be daunting for many homeowners, especially when many Australian homes display the classic all-white ‘Hamptons’ look that we all love. We’ve shown here in this living space that when styled correctly, black can elevate your home by creating interest and depth to contrast the rest of your light décor. Therefore, we suggest you go bold by using black accents within your furniture this season. As a safe and easy way to introduce darker tones to your space without creating such a harsh contrast, we’ve paired our Tallow console table with the Modero stool. Featuring a marble tabletop and a woven rattan seat, this combination is the perfect balance between organic and contemporary styles. Whether you want casual seating in the living room or salient bedroom décor, intertwining black with natural fibres introduce a bold but impactful look and feel into any room in your home. For the daring risk-takers, this new collection also features full black stools for making a striking focal point in your home bars or kitchen areas.
