Making your home
TURNING YOUR DREAM INTO A REALITY At Misco Joinery we offer a free kitchen design service to help you create the kitchen you have always wanted.
Considering current circumstances, we are reminded of the importance of the design and space of the home.
Ideally, the home is a haven – yet how many of us came out of lockdown in April with a serious case of cabin fever, just itching to get out? COVID-19 and recent world events are bucking previously predicted 2020 trends in interior design. These times leave us wanting a remedy for our anxiety.

With the uneasiness this time brings, many rely on nature as a natural remedy for anxiety. Bringing elements of nature into the home creates a relaxing living environment. If you’re in the position to renovate or build, windows are an effective way of bringing the outside in. When positioned
correctly, large windows can provide natural light, warmth and great views all in the comfort of your home. In addition to windows, incorporating nature-inspired prints and colour palettes into your living space is an easy way to bring nature in. Popular colours include soft blues and earth tones, accented with jewel tones, bright colours and metalics. Another way to bring the outside in is using natural materials such as unfinished woods, stone, cane and dried flowers. These materials add texture and interest to a space and can be applied in countless ways; anywhere from exposed, timber beams to small, stone carved accessories. Texture is important when creating a mindful living space because it involves the sense of touch, an important sense that keeps us present and in the moment.
