STYLE REFRESH

Spring is upon us in Australia, heralding warmer weather, new life and new opportunities to grow! A new season is the perfect time to give your home a new look and feel, particularly the invigorating season of Spring, a season that opens the door to all sorts of possibilities.

There's no place like home—until you’ve been cocooning in it for too long and the scene starts to feel stale and stagnant. And, come to think of it, so do you. Adopting your home’s vibe is a real thing since your surroundings and your mindset are intertwined.

If you feel that your place has been in a bit of a slump, let’s change that! Now is the perfect time to look at a seasonal style refresh in your space. Here are some ideas to inspire you to reinvigorate your space, and fall in love with it all over again.

Paint your doors

Without a doubt, paint is transformative, and changes the way that your home not only looks, but how you feel about too. It’s like adding a fabulous new pair of shoes to your favourite outfit! The colour of the paint you choose has a significant impact. As we head into the warmer months of Spring and Summer, consider colours that more light, bright and joyful. Then you can go dark and moody when heading into the cooler months of Autumn and Winter.

Change rugs

With the changing of the seasons, consider switching over wool rugs to seagrass or lighter textures, or perhaps even remove them altogether. The feeling of walking on bare timber boards or cool polished concrete in Summer can be extremely pleasing and help to cool the temperature of internal spaces.

Brighten your bedroom style

Opting for lighter colours and textures in the bedroom is the best way to change the mood of the space. You can also mix up books and decor on your bedside table, add fresh foliage and switch up your bedside table for a stool or table from another room.

Switch rooms

It is less common, but it can be very refreshing to switch rooms in the house. Alternatively, bring new energy to rooms by changing configurations and what you put inside the space. Maybe take a pendant from one room and put it in another. Rethink your space to give it a whole new energy.
