STEAL HER STYLE

Amanda calls her style country modern, but she doesn’t follow any rules. “The country air and sense of space influence the way I decorate, but it’s not intentional,” she says. “When I started, the house didn’t need a lot, and the look has just evolved.” That said, there are still key takeaways from her styling process. First, says Amanda, is colour. “Paint choices impact a home’s appearance,” she says. “I used my favourites, charcoal and green, and it makes me feel happy.” She also loves second-hand pieces; her favourite is the vintage drinks trolley in the living room. “They make our house feel more homely.” To make a style your own, Amanda suggests keeping things “simple but authentic” – choose items you love, mix old with new, and high-end items with affordable brands.
