Home style: Beat the winter blues
There are plenty of beautiful products to upstyle your home for winter.
Can’t beat ‘em’? You might as well join them, and by ‘them’ we mean the cool seasonal vibes sweeping the Coast. Get on board with these decorating tips and products to brighten up your winter.
On trend – mood
We love the texture, fabric and moody blue hue of the Home Republic Phoenix occasional chair.
It’s from Adairs.
Hello bluebird
With more time spent indoors during the cooler months, it’s the perfect time to update your interior. If you can’t afford an entire overhaul, select a few key pieces to lift your space. Cushions, throws and décor accents are a quick and easy way to do this. We like the handmade Ruine Bird from Salt&Pepper. Paying homage to the Japanese art form of origami, the terracotta piece will be a talking point. Visit saltandpepper.com.au for
local stockists.
Plush velvet
The Casita velvet square cushion, pictured in blue, from Kas will bring a touch of luxe to your living room or bedroom. It is available in eight colours. Visit kasaustralia.com.au for local stockists.
Natural elements
Another great piece to dress up your coffee table or shelves is the Tacio decorative vase from Kas. Crafted by hand in earthy terracotta, the hand-painted glaze contrasts beautifully against the natural base.
Warming up
June is the perfect time to dress up your sofa with a soft throw. We like the hand-dyed smoke colour of the Aura throw. The vintage-inspired piece is stylishly sophisticated. It’s from Domayne.
Soft glow
Brighten up your living room, bedroom or study with new lighting. Lamps cast a beautiful warm glow, which is ideal for winter evenings at home. Soft light, a warm blanket and a Netflix binge – bliss. This ivory and blue ceramic table lamp is from Andrew’s Light Up, Maroochydore.
The Palm House basket in blue from Adairs. Visit Sunshine Coast Home, Maroochydore.
Tip
Did you know that mirrors have multiple roles in interior design? Mirrors, which bounce light, will help brighten a space. It’s an instant mood lifter.
Into the woods
Too cold for camping? Evoke the spirit of the outdoors with this wallpaper from In Curtains & Blinds, Maroochydore.
Spice and something nice
Nothing says comfort more than soft, luxe bedding. Stay warm this winter with the Moroccan-inspired Aventine quilt cover set. A turmeric base sets a spicy tone, while navy and white embroidered motifs are reminiscent of the region’s colourful architecture. Available in single, double, queen, king and super-king, it’s from Domayne. Visit Maroochydore Homemaker Centre.
