The grey skies and cold, dewy mornings of winter may have set in, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on style. The change of season is your chance to incorporate this season’s latest trends into your home. Here are a few winter interior decorating ideas to have you and your family feeling snug as a bug in no time. Lighting Winter days are shorter than the warmer months, which means less light during the day. Use the lack of natural light as an opportunity to Friday, May 31, 2019

create atmosphere with different kinds of lighting. Try lamps, candles and look for bulbs with warmer tones for overhead lighting to give a warmer overall feel to a room. If your lighting has exposed bulbs, oversized filament LED bulbs not only look great, but give off lovely moody lighting in the evenings. Greenery Look, it may be cold and miserable outdoors, but it doesn’t have to feel that way indoors. Brighten up the winter blues
by bringing the best parts of the outside in with hardy indoor plants, or buy a bunch of flowers every week at the farmers market to bring a sunny disposition to the dreariest of corners. Layers upon layers One of the quickest and easiest ways to cosy up your home is to add layers. Soft furnishings such as throw rugs, cushions, sheepskins, floor rugs and heavy curtains all bring an element of cosiness to a room which adds all creature comforts within arm’s reach.
Season for rearranging Changing your home up a bit can be as good as a holiday. Scan your living, dining and bedrooms to see if there are alternative ways the space could be laid out. Could you rearrange seating to entice more conversation and interaction around an open fireplace? Maybe you want to revamp your bedroom with a textured bedhead? Sometimes rearranging a space, or simply the accessories filling it, is enough to breathe new life even in the darkest and coldest of seasons. Home & Garden Magazine

KITCHEN TRENDS
With the retail industry approaching its mid-year season, leading Australian kitchen manufacturer Freedom Kitchens has released a trends update on what will be inspiring kitchen design for the second half of the year. According to Freedom Kitchens’ design experts, there’s continued momentum in the Australian market towards the ‘anti-kitchen’, which sees functional components being more hidden, and the whole area more integrated as part of a seamless, luxe living space. New kitchen designs will feature exquisite finishes, curated décor to match the living room, and elements that embrace nature and wellbeing. Drawing from select global trends that translate well to our local seasons and lifestyle, the colour palette for cabinetry is moving towards sophisticated darker tones, combined with open display shelving, and rich textured benchtops. Select trending tones have been adopted in the newly released cabinet colours in Freedom Kitchens’ Designer range, including French Navy, Stone Grey, Green Slate, Friday, May 31, 2019
French Navy, Green Slate, Fox and Oxford. Taking a look at the components that make up a kitchen reveals the application of fresh ideas – below are some of the key kitchen design updates that we can expect to see trending on our shores throughout the rest of 2019. Cabinetry – Dark and sophisticated Muted mid- tones and darker shades are being embraced in a big way for cabinetry, making for more intriguing ‘neutrals’. From chic navy to slate green and varying shades of grey, these tones are a sophisticated update for the on-trend kitchen. Shelving – Open and industrial Matt black open frame aluminium shelving is a practical element adding industrial chic to the home kitchen. Open shelving below cabinets is also bang on trend – it breaks up blocks of cabinets with a display space for kitchen items as well as décor. Benchtops – Rich and textured According to Caesarstone, their
trend directions for engineered stone benchtops are focused on ‘form follows food’. Embracing the inherent beauty in raw materials and patterns also paralleled in food, their new design concepts include ‘Conceptual Concrete’, ‘Marbling Mood’ and ‘Dark Rituals’ – all pairing perfectly with Freedom Kitchens’ new cabinet colours. Splashbacks – Oversized and unique High-end kitchens are predicted to expand into taller dimensions, with the luxurious application of marble or engineered stone from bench to ceiling. Another key trend in splashbacks will be artisan tiles with interesting shapes, lending unique appeal. Handles – Integrated and minimal Minimal in form, designs like the integrated J- pull or an edge- pull handle are the hottest way to keep your kitchen looking seamless. They’re especially good for storage walls – where an entire wall is covered in cabinets – in combination with touch-catch cabinets for
a true handle- less look that you and your family will love. Appliances – Dark and smart As with cabinetry and shelving, matt black and anthracite tones with clean lines are bang on trend for kitchens looking to achieve the ultimate level of sleek sophistication. But it’s not all about good looks; appliances continue to get smarter than ever with customised programs making cooking and cleaning more automated. Layout – Open and connected Amongst Freedom Kitchens customers across Australia, the most popular kitchen layouts and styles continue to be those that make the most of an open plan, as well being connected to the backyard for indoor/outdoor living. Other key trends in layout include having a central island bench to serve as the hub, plus plentiful storage and pantry space. Freedom Kitchens customers are also becoming more interested in creating multi-functional butler’s pantries that can double as a laundry. Home & Garden Magazine
