An easy way to add in textures to your space is through soft furnishings and accessories!

Consider linen, faux furs and velvets for soft furnishings and glass, metal and timber for decor items 👌✨

When planning any home or room, it is important to create vision or mood boards of your desired style and aesthetic, drawing inspiration from nature, surroundings and other interiors 💭🌾

Hampton interiors are inspired by a cool coastal style, incorporating white marble, a neutral colour palette and shaker cabinetry.

We used these design aspects in our Hamptons inspired ensuite in 'The Bridgehampton' for a light, elegant and timeless space ✨

With a majority of Australia currently at home in lockdown, it is important our electric bills don't go through the roof! ⚡🥴

To save on our energy consumption, follow these simple tips and you'll feel the relief when that next bill comes through..

• Set your heating between 18 and 20 degrees. Every degree above 20 can add an extra 10% to your bill!

• Turn off any unused appliances at the power point. Having a power point on standby still uses electricity!

• When cooking, use a microwave where you can instead of an electric oven. Microwaves use less energy!

• Make sure you have adequate ceiling insulation. Effective insulation can save you up to 20 per cent on heating and cooling!

Pendants are one of the simplest ways to create a WOW-factor in a kitchen! 💕

Choosing the right pendant will depend on the size of your space and how much light you want to project.

If you have beautiful natural light during the day and ceiling lights that provide sufficient light at night, choose pendants that will contribute to the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.

When it comes to your kitchen pendants being your main source of light, choose lighting fixtures that have a direct light source, evenly spacing them for a well lit island bench 👌💡
