There is a distinct chill in the air around here and with the cooler months of winter just around the corner, now is a great time to refresh your home interiors and get ready for some cozy indoor time. Here are our suggestions for a winter-wonderful abode –

For anyone who knows us here in the Studio, you’ll know how much we love the transformational power of wallpaper! It can immediately bring a focal point to a room, create a tangible emotional response (we’re aiming for good!), while bringing a fabulous dose of style. It can in one glance, direct the entire design of the space.

When it comes to decorating your home, less can often be more, especially for those who crave a simple space. Creating a beautifully balanced interior is an art form and requires consideration of many factors, so the best rule to follow is – keep it simple. Here are a few key factors to consider.

Our clients wanted a large Master Suite with a spacious walk in robe + dressing room and an updated ensuite. The style brief was to create a restful space that felt luxurious and elegant, while still being practical and warm. Our client has a stunning collection of handbags + accessories that she wanted to be able to showcase and house, rather than have hidden in boxes and unattractive storage.

When our clients spotted this apartment in Coolum for sale, they knew they needed to view it. Like many in recent times, they were in the market for a sea-change and were ready to downsize from their family home in Brisbane. While the apartment was looking pretty tired and dated, they could see the potential. Perched high on a hill facing North, the view is literally breath-taking. It was a done deal.

The cooler months are upon us… time to light the fire (if you’re lucky enough to have one!), draw the curtains and wrap your cold hands around a warm mug of soup! For some of us here on the sunny coast, we are so used to the heat that winter can feel freezing (I know, we are so spoilt!). So we have had to master the art of creating a cosy home for the cooler months to help see us through to temperate weather again. Let us share our tips and tricks with you…

Are you a collector? A keeper of sentimental objects, travel momentos and special pieces? We love an eclectic home, one that includes a selection of both old and new pieces, creating a wonderful rich, lived-in, inviting space. It offers such an opportunity for personality to shine. However a careful balance is required when creating this look, as it can quickly descend into chaos – a mish-mash of too much stuff and pieces that don’t sit well together. This can end up being quite visually stressful and not pleasant to live in.
