HARVEY NORMAN SUNBEAM LONDON COLLECTION 1.7L KETTLE $129 OAK FURNITURE MONICA ROUND DINING TABLE $3,999
The kitchen is often the most over-looked room when it comes to interior design. It’s the last room you decorate in a new rental property and often the final part of a whole-house renovation. And yet, time spent in the kitchen is a valuable part of everyday life. Heading into the summer months, why not opt for warm coppers and terracotta colours? Tonally, these match perfectly with gunmetal grey appliances and wooden tables and stools.

CONCRETE FURNISHINGS WITH LIGHT WOODEN ACCENTS ARE THE PERFECT ADDITION TO A MINIMALISTIC HOME.
1.
The minimalist. The minimalism trend is having a moment. This time round, it’s less about elaborate de-cluttering methods and more about clean lines and understated rooms. Minimalistic designs cultivate the illusion of space, making this décor style perfect for small apartments. Living in a small apartment was once a disaster for interior enthusiasts. Along came the minimalism trend, which redefined what a furnished room looks like. At its heart, this trend is the visual representation of the ‘less is more’ concept. To achieve minimalism within your space opt for light colour schemes.
2.
Light walls and floors will give the illusion of a larger room. The strategic use of mirrors and furniture with clean lines can seemingly double the size of a room, so think carefully about the placement of your décor. Invest in items that tell the story of your home in a subtle way and transform how you see your available space.

Under the Sheets Renowned business woman, successful model and known for her iconic fashion sense, there’s not much Lindy Klim cannot do. We sat down with her to chat about her latest collaboration with Adairs, her personal style, and all things creative. Describe your creative process when designing. What was the inspiration behind your collection with Adairs? To start off with, I run through some ideas that I like. I pull together Pinterest boards of images I’m loving and then we start shaping the first draft of an idea together. I had recently been travelling to Morocco and Europe so I was inspired by high quality linen and the old colour photos of the beach lifestyle.
ADAIRS
What’s your favourite outdoor trend when it comes to decorating as we approach the warmer months? I like a feeling of tranquillity throughout, whether that be found in a walled garden or a wellkept lawn. I like the garden to bring order from chaos. I hate mess inside or outside.
The collection is made overseas in Portugal. Have you travelled there before? I visited Lisbon years ago now. Europe’s old cities, including Lisbon with its winding streets, are fantastic for photos and to spark creativity and ideas. There is so much to see and do and the Portuguese lifestyle is similar to Bali with its laid-back vibes. The Greek islands are my favourite place at the moment. The crisp white buildings and deep blue seas make me happy and inspired.
Do you have a favourite item from the Lindy for Adairs range? If so, which one? If I had to pick one it would be the Lovina Quilt Cover set. It is so beautiful. The look is so fresh. It’s on my bed in Bali right now. What are the key mantras you stick to when updating your homewares? Fresh feel. Airy. Subtle tones. I keep it that simple.
ADAIRS
Who do you look to for inspiration, both in your homewares and your personal style? Personal stylist Giovanna Battaglia. She captures effortless style and her images on social media seem such fun. For home styling, my inspiration comes from magazines, including interior and travel magazines. What do you look forward to most about coming home at the end of a busy day? I love coming home. For me it’s about returning to a sanctuary and taking time to listen to the things my kids have been up to that day. ADAIRS

There’s a reason spending time outdoors is such a soul-renewing activity. The calming effect on the mind and body leaves you energised, focused and ready to conquer the day. Bring these benefits into your home by incorporating plants into every room. From water-based fronds to a succulent planter on the window sill, a fiddle-leaf fig or a hardy peace lilythere’s so many options. Incorporating indoor plants into your décor style does not only visually elevate a room, but lifts your mood and boosts those endorphins daily.

We make our pesto sauce in house so there’s a little extra love in each bite. What are your favourite coffee trends of 2017? There are so many cool new trends, but no matter how many fads and variations come out, you can’t go past a perfectly pulled shot of coffee.

What’s the best thing about coffee, from your perspective? The caffeine of course! Apart from the great taste of a well made coffee, there is something more to the whole experience. Coffee brings people together. As a barista, you’re a counsellor, entertainer and sometimes even a flirt. If we get a smile when we give you your coffee, we know we have done our job right.
