Dried natives are a popular, longer-lasting alternative to fresh flowers

Include a splash of vintage for a touch of soul. Sometimes a guest bedroom can be an accumulation of leftovers, which is fine as long those pieces work together harmoniously.

T H E I NS I DE S T O RY WI T H

Carlene & Michael Duffy How would you define your design aesthetic as a couple?

It’s a meeting of styles so it ends up being fairly eclectic, a good mash up of old and new and modern and traditional, of clean lines and ornate profiles.

Your ideal home colour palette?

I love my blues and greens in home interiors across the board and you can’t go too wrong utilising these in guest bedrooms. They are calming colours and are most effectively used tonally.

How do you style your bedside tables?

Simply. Three is the magic number when styling a bedside table. A bedside lamp is key and provides height for aesthetics, a decorative bowl to hold jewellery is functional and looks good and a small vase with florals is always a good idea.

THE

Guest Bedroom Edit What homely essentials do you include when styling your guest bedroom?

Extra blankets, essential oils, a burner, an armchair, storage, and heating and cooling for ultimate homely comfort.

Do you splurge or save on guest room décor?

It’s definitely not a space in which to splurge given its function, but that’s not to say its design shouldn’t be well considered.

Opt for a good quality mattress and sheets and everywhere else you can rein it in.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE best bed FOR YOUR GROWING CHILD WITH INTERIOR STYLIST, Melissa Gullifer.

A pinnacle moment for parents and tot, the move from cot to the non-confines of a bed can be daunting. To make the decision-making process a little easier you should first think about how much space you have in your child’s bedroom and consider their current height and growth

in the future. Is there enough room for a double bed, or only a single? Will they need a desk or reading nook to nourish their little brains? Their bedroom should be designed around the idea of a personal little sanctuary; somewhere they can sleep, rest and play.

A beautiful bookcase from Knotts Pine Tuggerah is a magical and functional addition to their room.

When stepping into your bathroom, it should feel as if the world has been turned off. It’s a space to breathe and cleanse the rush of the day away.

Earthy tones of charcoal, combined with variants of soothing blue are an ideal colour palette for a bathroom oasis.

Indoor plants not only bring a touch of the outdoors inside, they also improve air quality and the overall wellbeing of those surrounded by them.

Top tip: re-pot indoor plants every two to three years in spring to keep them strong and healthy.

Always use a premiumquality potting mix—the best you can afford. There are specialty mixes available for particular types of plants.

Indoor plants often die when they receive too much attention!

Read the labels to see whether your plants like being kept moist or if they prefer to dry out between watering.

Keep leaves clean by wiping occasionally with a soft damp cloth—don’t use detergents!

Create a cosy and sophisticated home by simply trading brighter hues like cool blue, for gemstone shades like citrine and ruby and watch the room transform from energetic, to romantic and sophisticated.

The finer details, such as the material you use to complement these shades, are another important factor to consider as these can add an extra layer of elegance.

The mercury may be continuing to dip, but the cool weather shouldn’t stop you from hosting an epic winter barbecue with your friends and family.

Just picture yourself tucking into a toasty bread roll filled with warm pulled pork, a woolly blanket over your knees and an ambient fire to gather around. A portable fire pit or bowl is a fantastic way to have your bonfire and contain it too (not to mention save your lush lawn from being scorched). The team at Bunnings advise that when selecting a fire bowl you should be thinking about design, shape and size, all dependent on your backyard, or outdoor area.

SMALL W SPACE STYLING TIPS

e’ve all been there at some stage during our lives.

Whether it be a rental property or a first home, the majority of budding home decorators haven’t had the good fortune of being able to lash out and purchase the Australian dream straight off the bat. Your home shouldn’t have to suffer from the small space dilemma, you simply need to be a little clever in your styling.

There are countless storage opportunities to take advantage of in often overlooked spaces and we’re here to tell you that there are some cool tricks that you can pull out of the styling hat. A smoke and mirrors tutorial if you will.

DESIGN Dilemmas SOLVED 1. Take stock of what you no longer need and cull, people. It’s perfectly cathartic!

2. Look for creative storage solutions such as additional shelves that you can place in (and on top of) cupboards.

Many of the natural rugs made from renewable materials like jute, cause no harm to the environment as there is no eco-damaging manufacturing involved.

Sustainable and stylish!

3. Floating shelves using semipermanent adhesives for ease of install (and removal if need be).

4. A round dining table for the traditional family dinner meals where stories are shared.

5. Avoid small soft furnishings.

It seems counter-productive but a large characterful rug for example draws the eye out rather than in.

You’ve spent years creating memories in your home but now you’ve outgrown it, and it’s time to part ways. Here to make the process of selling just that little bit easier are some tried-and-tested styling tips to follow when staging your home for an open-house.

SLEEPING GIANT

TIP: PILLOWS Plump pillows in various sizes make for an inviting and cosy bedroom. While you don’t want it to look like a hotel, they should be arranged nicer than you would before rushing off to work in the morning. A few Euro pillows and a throw are ideal!

TIP: GO GREEN Indoor plants are a must!

Not only do they have numerous health benefits, they also bring a sense of serenity, by bringing the outdoors inside.

3

TIP: FOCAL POINT Most purchasers tend to congregate in the zones where they would spend the majority of their time. This is a chance for them to visualise how they would live in the house, so remember to make sure to present these zones in the best light. A great way to gain understanding of where people are likely to pause, is to walk around your home as if you were the buyer. Add warmth to these spots with rugs, soft furnishings and a burning candle.
