FROM HOUSE TO HOME NEALE WHITAKER’S EXPERT DESIGN ADVICE When it comes to transforming a house into a home, interior design expert, TV personality and Luxaflex National Brand Partner, Neale Whitaker, certainly knows a thing or two. Last month Neale hosted an online interior decorating Luxaflex Masterclass, discussing the four key components to consider when it comes to home design including colour, light, functionality and mood. Colour When it comes to decorating, colour has a profound influence on our mood. The ‘60/30/10’ rule is a useful place to start when you’re planning a colour scheme, especially if you are living in an open-plan environment. “The rule means using approximate percentages of colour to create balance. For example, using 60 per cent of neutral or white, adding 30 per cent of toning shades and finally a 10 per cent flourish of contrasting colour,” Neale said. This creates an even palette and doesn’t allow for colour clashes. Neale recommends experimenting with colour in smaller areas

first before committing to larger spaces. Light Correct lighting is fundamental to how spaces function and how we react to them. Australia has extraordinary natural light and harnessing this can improve the livability of our homes. There are three types of lighting to consider in the home – general lighting, task lighting and accent lighting. “General lighting is a light source such as downlights or pendants that are used to illuminate a space from a functional perspective. Task lighting is used for specif ic tasks such as reading, desk work, crafts and can have an aesthetic value, whereas accent lighting creates ambience,” Neale said. The most interesting and recent trends include controlling natural light and the transformative effect of skylights. However, a sophisticated new generation of window furnishings has also evolved with the growing emphasis on indooroutdoor living. Functionality How your home

will impact your quality of life and how you live in it. With the pandemic shifting our relationship with our homes, most of us are spending more time at home than ever before. “Kitchens and bathrooms are important focal points in our homes and arguably the most expensive spaces to change. Although, in recent years they have also become the spaces that we are most likely to want to personalise,” Neale said. “Be realistic about what you require of a kitchen. In most cases it’s an important home hub. Considering your priorities and
what you need to live well and comfortably is crucial to sticking to a budget and creating a functional living and working space.” You should consider current trends that will impact functionality in years to come. Mood Creating the mood of your home is what will make it feel unique and individual. The three most popular interior design styles in Australia are Hamptons, Scandinavian and Contemporary. Identifying the characteristics of these looks can help you decide where you are stylistically.

Don’t be misled! Save your golf club + gain first class facilities with access to new parklands.
BEFORE
AFTER If the development is rejected, Wallacia will lose: Their local Golf Club and Golf course. Financial support for the community. A much needed $10 million facilities face lift. New public parklands.
If the development goes ahead, Wallacia will gain: New sports facilities with a swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, gym, and a bowling green. An improved clubhouse with a modern restaurant and function area. A redesigned world-class 9-hole Golf Course for member competitions, pennants and social play. A financially viable operation. A new public parkland occupying 25% of the site will be GIFTED to the community. Public access to landscaped gardens, walkways and water features. A boutique memorial park open to all cultural and religious communities.
For further information visit www.nepeangardens.com.au
St Johns Park Bowling Club simply cannot continue to operate the Wallacia Club House and Golf course at such a substantial financial loss The proposed business model which includes the new Club House and redesigned Golf Course is the only solution to ensure a viable future for the social and sporting hub of Wallacia.

BROKING BREAKDOWN
HONESTY IS A MUST BANKS HAVE DEEP INSIGHTS
MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM
When you are applying for any form of finance these days it pays to be completely honest with lenders about your credit and employment history and spending habits. A recent study by leading global information services company Experian, which provides reports on consumer credit risk, found one in five Australian borrowers embellished or omitted important details on their loan approval forms. A further 60 per cent did not understand how loans were assessed. But telling porkies to banks or brokers on your credit applications can backfire as lenders have more insights than ever before on your spending habits and credit
history. Telling white lies can have a more severe impact on your ability to obtain finance than having a poor credit score in the first place. It can be understandable why people might be hesitant to disclose the complete picture about their financial situation for fear of missing out. Banks assess a borrower’s income, other loans and living expenses to calculate how much money can be put towards loan repayments. In the current market, lenders are looking much harder at borrowers’ expenses by analysing credit card statements, transaction accounts and any recurring spending patterns. Expenses such as childcare, education,
insurances, phone and Internet bills, groceries, medical costs, entertainment, recreation, travel and transport will be forensically examined. If your bank account reveals a multitude of Uber Eats orders, overdue Afterpay bills, Netflix subscriptions, take away coffees and regular shopping forays at Dan Murphy’s, your spending habits might have to be addressed before applying for a loan. Mark’s Shout The bottom line is banks are now able to delve deep into your credit history. Honesty is always the best policy and the onus is on consumers to present a true picture to lenders.
