Three surefire interior design tips to enhance your living space

1. Accessorise Thoughtfully

Curate eye-catching centrepieces and decor items that reflect your style and interests. Display meaningful art, books, and souvenirs to add a personal touch to your space.

2. Bring Nature Indoors

Introduce plants and flowers to breathe life into your interior with their alluring scents. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents, or create a lush indoor jungle with larger tropical plants.

3. Rearrange and Repurpose

Move furniture around and repurpose items to create a fresh and functional layout. Try swapping pieces between rooms for a new look.

One extra tip for good measure…

4. Play with Lighting

Upgrade your lighting fixtures to enhance the ambience. Use a mix of task, ambient, and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere

Three steps to making your dining space as delicious as your meals

Step 1: Choose a Chic Wall Colour

Opt for a sophisticated and inviting wall colour to set the tone for your dining room. Earthy neutrals like soft beige or warm grey create a calming atmosphere, while deep blues or forest greens can add a touch of elegance and drama.

Step 2: Add a Stunning Area Rug

Rugs add texture and colour, and define the space, making it feel more intimate and inviting. Choose a rug that complements your overall decor, and make sure it’s large enough for the chairs to comfortably fit when pulled out from the table.

Step 3: Upgrade Your Light Fixtures

Swap out outdated light fixtures for modern, eye-catching alternatives that match your dining room’s theme. Consider dimmer switches to control the ambience during intimate dinners or lively gatherings.
