Fresh ideas & easy updates

✚ Mix and match dining furniture for a layered, eclectic feel. Timber adds warmth to any palette and softens an all-white scheme.

✚ Bring the outdoors in with fresh foliage and flowers. Embrace the cooler seasons with earthy natural objects and sculptural branches.

✚ A painted Gyprock pelmet around the perimeter of a room does double duty as a contempora­ry cornice and neat disguise for the window treatment tracks and fixings.

✚ With technology in the home more integrated and discreet than ever, motorised blinds can be installed (in new builds or retrofitte­d) for a convenient, cordless solution. You can pre-program and pair them with additional smart technology such as apps or voice assistants. With Luxaflex PowerView Motorisati­on, for example, you can program your blinds to operate on their own throughout the day, and it’s compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
