Regardless of your home’s size, we all crave a little extra space to make our interiors function better and feel more open and welcoming. As such, creating the feeling of spaciousness is one of the most common problems people face when decorating their home.
A timeless interior exudes a sense of quiet confidence. It’s sophisticated, yet feels inviting. A timeless home is neither over the top or boring. Combining a multi-layered approach, the style balances the feeling of being lived-in and curated.
You may have a favourite colour, but deciding on a colour palette for your interior can be more of a challenge. Not every interior will suit the colour you’re typically drawn too and while a colour palette may look great in a magazine, it may not translate so well in your space.

Knowing which decorating style you’re drawn to will give you a foundation from which you can blend different elements together to make it your own.
Over the years, we tend to accumulate possessions. The dining table you first bought when you moved out of home or the dresser that has been passed down from generation to generation. Chances are you have a mixture of styles in your furniture.

Shopping. Some people love it and some people loath just the thought of it. Regardless, we can all agree shopping for the home can take a lot of time and energy. Whether you’re furnishing a new home, updating your décor or looking for one or two special items to complete your interior, homewares and furniture shopping can be a challenge.
It may sound crazy to consider buying furniture when you’re downsizing, but the reality is many people find their oversized pieces simply won’t fit into a smaller home.
We share with you a few tips to buying furniture when you’re downsizing so you don’t need to refurnish your entire house and can avoid expensive mistakes.
