So you’ve just finished re-arranging a space in your home to ‘freshen it up’ a bit, but there’s just something missing. Your walls are bare and that new hallway table needs a little something to complete the look.

With the amount of options available in retail, choosing accessories and art for your home can be tiresome, even for the most seasoned stylist. To help homemakers like yourself along their way, I’ve put together a couple of key tips to consider when choosFriday, June 14, 2019

FINISHING TOUCH

ing art to help complete the look of your home.

Get inspired You’ve already had a mooch around your favourite homewares jaunts, but nothing really jumps out at you. My advice is not to limit the art you select for your home to on-trend, mass-produced canvas prints.

Visit a couple of textile stores and have a browse through aisles of patterned, prints, knit or woven fabric that you can get cuttings off

and frame. Grab a high-end fashion magazine or even a gardening magazine for editorial photos that make for a great cluster of oneof-a-kind framed prints for a bare wall. Looking outside conventional places will give your home that personal touch for a fraction of the price!

Contrast art with your home Look around your space. What is your colour palette? What style is it? Modern contemporary?

Scandi? Bohemian? Whatever it

is, select something that contrasts with it instead of complements it.

Instead of being a matchy-matchy space filler, treat the piece you select for your home as something that can create an element of interest in your home.

For example, a bold, vivid abstract piece for a nature inspired space, or a simple geometric, monochromatic piece for a more eclectic room full of colour or texture. Doing this will help break the monotony and add an element of surprise to your space.

IN THE GARDEN

Winter GARDENING MIRVA CRINNION MRFOTHERGILLS.COM.AU

Welcome to our first fortnightly gardening column!

This column will take you through the gardening seasons, giving you tips on what to plant now as well as how to look after your garden.

Being located in western Sydney ourselves gives us the perfect insight into what you might be experiencing in your garden, and how you can make the most of your garden any time of the year – whatever the weather!

It may be the start of winter in western Sydney and all you want to do is to rug up and stay indoors, but winter is a key season for planting summer flowering plants and produce, so get ready to pull on the gumboots and enjoy the

cooler days outside. This week is a good time to start clearing space for winter planting. Remove any annual flowers that have finished flowering, pull out weeds and cut down perennials like Dahlias and Chrysanthemums if they have finished their show. Empty your compost bin and spread the fresh compost onto the cleared garden beds, mixing it into the soil.

After a productive day in the garden take some time to plan your garden for the coming season. Mr Fothergill’s have all the tools you need to help with the planning.

Mr Fothergill’s Online Garden Planner will help you to draw out your garden beds, add plants and move items around to get the

perfect layout. There’s also an easy to use planting guide so you’ll always know what’s in season and when to sow or harvest.

Mr Fothergill’s Planting Guide App is FREE to download and exists in both IOS and Android versions. This unique, easy- touse app helps you discover and remember the best time to sow seeds in your local area – specific to your postcode.
