INTERIORS Autumn WITH ELIZA GRACE

H

Hi, I’m Eliza, the resident stylist at Nunawading Homemaker HQ. I conduct styling sessions at the centre to assist with your home styling queries and help you select the perfect pieces for your space. Today I am going to be sharing with you my top tips for creating a cosy autumn oasis in your home and what is trending in home decorating this season.

Autumn brings a sense of cosiness and warmth that has us yearning for time spent at home with the family, snuggling on the sofa or baking in the kitchen. The transitional seasons offer a chance to blend styles together in our home, add layers in the soft furnishings, and inject hues that are reflective of what is occurring in nature. There are a few key styling elements that I refer back to time and time again when switching your home up for the autumn season and creating a cosy and inviting oasis.

Injecting deeper and richer tones into your home styling is essential for shifting your home away from a summer vibe and into an autumn aesthetic. Take inspiration from the outdoors at this time of year when selecting colours to add to your soft furnishings. I love using rich tones of caramel, amber, and ochre in items such as cushions and throw blankets. Select fabrics that are soft to the

touch such as wool, cable knit, and cashmere – fringing or tassels are a bonus for an added cosy feel.

Creating scenes and special moments in your home that evoke a sense of cosiness and comfort are a great way to decorate for autumn. This could include a timber tray on your kitchen island that has a terracotta vase with natural foliage, a caramel scented candle, folded linen napkins, and some stacked handmade bowls. Or placing a comfortable armchair in the corner of the room and layering it with a cable knit throw blanket and felt cushion in a plaid fabric. Autumn styling is about layering, as this creates a sense of warmth in the home and exudes a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

If you would like some help with selecting the right home décor pieces or pairing the perfect cushion and throw blanket together, then our complimentary styling sessions are the perfect solution. We can discuss ways to add warmth to your home and create an autumn oasis that perfectly reflects you and your family. Simply head to the ‘Styling Inspiration’ tab on our website to book in now.

SCANDISTYLE

The Scandinavian design approach can be easily incorporated into any space thanks to its minimalist elements, understated artwork, and soft colour palettes. The trend is inspired by a Danish concept known as Hygge – meaning to embody a sense of cosiness, warmth, and contentment – making Scandi-style an integral aspect of autumn interiors.

SCANDI-STYLE

White décor, wooden furnishings, modern shapes, and minimalist style are all hallmark traits of the Scandi-style trend. Achieve this cosy and stylish atmosphere in your space with pieces from Nunawading Homemaker HQ.

STYLIST TIP

Stick to organic shapes when selecting furniture pieces in your home with a Scandinavian style. Avoid styles that are heavily scalloped, embellished or have ornate edges. Keep the words ‘minimal’ and ‘soft’ in your mind when shopping for new furniture.

SOOTHING BLUES

Turn your gaze skyward to discover the interior colour of the year – blue. Anticipate a departure from neutrals as colour palettes evolve, with blue emerging as a dominant and beloved hue in interior design. Embrace the versatility of blue as you integrate it into your home through various design elements.

STYLIST TIP

Blue is one of the most calming colours in the spectrum and should therefore be used in spaces that evoke relaxation. I love using blue when decorating a bedroom or living room to bring a sense of calm and encourage wind down time.

STYLIST TIP

An important element of this design style is to clash pattern and colour in an unexpected way. Pair bright orange with tones of purple and green to create a unique and fun colour combination. Or add a floral-patterned rug to the floor and contrast with a chevron or zig zag pattern in your soft furnishings.

2024 TRENDS Autumn

Finding the perfect mattress for your sleep sanctuary.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, there’s one thing we all look forward to — sinking into our beds at the end of a long day. Although, have you ever stopped to consider just how much of our lives we spend in slumber? On average, we devote a third of our time to sleeping, equating to seven to nine hours every single night. With such a significant portion of our lives spent in bed, it’s no wonder that the quality of our mattress can impact our overall wellbeing.

While investing in a new mattress may seem like a daunting task, it’s a decision well worth consideration. After all, they say the key to preserving our health lies in a restful night’s sleep.

How firm should a mattress be?

Comfort is a highly personal preference, but understanding the nuances of mattress firmness can help with selecting the perfect fit for your needs.

The ideal firmness level of a mattress is related to your preferred sleeping position. For those who sleep on their stomachs, a firm mattress is recommended to ensure proper alignment of the spine. Back sleepers often find medium-firm mattresses most supportive, providing ample spinal support and cushioning for the neck and back. Finally, side sleepers typically benefit from a softer mattress that can accommodate and contour to the body’s natural curves.

What size mattress do you need?

When it comes to mattress size, bigger is often better. It’s recommended to invest in the largest bed that your room can comfortably accommodate. This ensures ample space for movement while still maintaining a balance with the room’s dimensions. It’s also important to consider the length of the mattress, ensuring it’s slightly longer than the tallest person who will be using it to prevent any discomfort or cramped sleeping arrangements.

Luckily, Nunawading Homemaker HQ boasts a slew of bedding stores, including industry leaders such as Bevmarks and DeRUCCI. Visiting these stores allows you to consult with knowledgeable staff members who can provide insights into mattress stability, sizing considerations, and more.

BEACH SHACK

Autumn means it’s time to breathe new life into your beach shack and steer away from the typical bright blues and sandy yellows by opting for muted tones instead. With a nod to a fisherman’s cottage, your coastal-inspired interiors can transition seamlessly into the cosy comforts that autumn has to offer.
