“The only person that can make the decision about going grey is you” Damian told us, “it’s no different a principle than going from blonde to dark or from dark to blonde, it’s a process, and it’s a statement!”
If you’re thinking because you’ve gone grey, you can no longer have fun with colour, think again. In the past, limitations in professional colouring meant stylists weren’t able to create grey shades and tones, but with the increase in tools, products and colour technology, there are more ways than ever to create bespoke levels of fashion-oriented grey hair.
L'Oreal Expert Silver Clarifying Shampoo $29.95 classical or whimsical, Abbode has wallpapers for any room. They’re easier than ever to hang and remove if required, and this year will see an expanded range of papers for Abbode and the opportunity for you to connect directly with suppliers to find your dream print.
The team at Abbode Interiors cover all the colour palettes, prints, patterns and styles, from the brights and bolds you’ll find in the rainbow, to the neutrals of nature and everything in between.

Trends come and go; at Abbode you’ll find traditional, contemporary and timeless collections that will change the way you feel about the place you call home.
TOP TRENDS FOR 2023 in Textiles
VIVA MAGENTA!
Pantone has chosen a powerful and vibrant red shade as the Color of the Year 2023. This magenta color is a shade rooted in nature, it is bold and fearless and adds a joyful and optimistic tone to your interior.
In 2023 we'll see a return of colour in home decor; from paint, to walls, furniture and bedding. Colour drenching rooms in one shade, yet still adding accents of luxurious jewel tones in blue, greens, purple, teal and yellows… colours of the Mediterranean!
SAY HELLO TO
“Because we are working with a different base level, so many of our grey clients now still have some sort of colour done. Grey can be enhanced with lowlighting or highlighting, or a different gloss colour. All these things make it much more maintainable and bespoke.”
With the swathe of powerful and inspirational women in the public eye choosing to go au naturel and letting their real colour shine through, grey is the colour of the moment! Now might just be the time to be bold, be seen, and wear your grey hair with pride.
The last few years have taught us the importance of loving the time spent in our homes. Big or small, our own space is vital for our wellbeing; it’s the nest that represents who we are and gives us joy. The dynamic of travel, dining out and meeting up with friends has shifted and opened the door to rethinking the world inside our four walls. The team at Abbode will help you make your little corner of the world not only look great, but also feel like home.
• Statement making individualisation to your home: no more coordinated spaces and matching furniture, mix it up!
• Merging the outdoors and indoor areas, bringing us closer to nature.
SAY GOODBYE TO
Transitioning to grey hair is a different journey for everybody and Damian says for most clients it’s just a question of whether they are ready for the transition or not.

SUNSET LOVER Sustainable Luxury Fashion
Sunset Lover is an Australian luxury resort wear brand that was born to leave a zero footprint.
They take a modern approach to design, employing circular design strategies focused on inclusivity and diversity over seasonality and trends.
At Sunset Lover, each garment presents a rich history highlighting the intricate connection that we have to our lands and seas. The collections are designed in collaboration with the South Australian Museum and Botanic Garden of South Australia. Deep diving into the archives of these cultural institutions Sunset Lover draws print inspiration from species of global flora and fauna that have played a sacred part in the ecology of our planet. Carefully preserving the objects or illustrations of the original artist, the team adapts these into prints for textiles transforming them into wearable pieces of art. Founded by Dean and Melanie Flintoft, Sunset Lover strives for a circular industry using all natural fibres for a low impact on the environment, but longevity and timelessness in your wardrobe. Every element of the garment design, from natural fibres with Tencel threads to FSC paper tags, has been considered to return back to nature in order to reduce environmental impact and create a more sustainable future.
