Your Home and Garden

EVIE KEMP’S STYLE TIPS

-

> Get some art on the walls! Art gives your home personalit­y and is a way to decorate it while surroundin­g yourself with things you love that tell a story. No one ever forgets a home with art.

> Hit the op-shops and Trade

Me. Secondhand shopping isn’t all about old stuff – you can save a lot of money on more modern design if you look hard enough.

> Consider reupholste­ring. If you find a bargain piece of furniture, the price of re-covering it rarely adds up to more than buying brand new. And the best part is you get something totally unique and perfect for your space.

> Mix it up. Moving stuff around at home is the best way to refresh or use a space in a new way.

> Be you. Don’t be led by trends or influenced by what other people think. Personalit­y is what makes a house a home, and it needs to be what makes you happy!

“Using wallpaper, we’ve unified the sunroom with the attached master bedroom so it feels more like a single space”
