When it comes to bringing your dream home to life, there are so many interior styles to consider.
From the colour and finishing's of your cabinetry, to your benchtop and tile selections, creating a cohesive design can become a real brain teaser. A great starting point when designing the interior of your home is to choose a tile you love, and base your interior style around it.
This is when we slide the Terrazzo Tile into the design! Not only do they provide a fun and stylish finish to just about any space in your house, they are also the perfect starting point when it comes to creating a design that will make an impactful statement. 🙌😍
As well as being perfect for drawing colour selections from, they also provide an extra added depth and interest to your space ... and when paired with a soft stone benchtop, crisp white subway tile and gold tapware (as seen above 🤭), this tile creates a glamorous design that gives off so much elegance and sophistication. 👏😎

The Perfect Addition to Your Bathroom Design! 😍
Lighting is an essential component to making a bathroom feel complete, so when it comes to designing your bathroom, adding sufficient light should be at the top of your list. 🙌
While skylights are perfect for drawing in plenty of natural light during the day, they also act as a great energy save and can make a real impact on the design of your space. 🤩
It's the perfect way to bring natural light into your space without compromising on privacy.
Will you be adding skylights to your bathroom? 🤔

Wall panels are a beautiful way to introduce texture, clean lines and character to your bedroom design. 😍🙌
Whether painted a bold colour to add contrast to your bedroom design or kept the same colour as the rest of the room for an understated point of interest, wall panels suit a range of home styles from coastal, Hamptons, contemporary and country. 🌿
We love using axon cladding as a way to introduce drama and details to our bedroom design, with their clean and vertical lines adding a beautiful and timeless feature that will be in trend for many years to come. 🤩
Brighten Up Your Space ✨🏠
Pendant lights are one of the most popular home lighting choices, and are a great inclusion when wanting to make an impactful statement. 🙌
Not only are pendant lights a stylish design feature to add to just about any room in your house, they are also the ideal inclusion for projecting ambient lighting throughout your space!
With pendant lights coming in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and forms, there is an abundance of options to choose from when it comes to embedding great general lighting, area lighting or task lighting to your space. 😍🤩
We love how seamlessly these pendant lights integrate into this kitchen design!

A Colour Palette Inspired By Nature 🌿🍂
The outside has definitely found itself comfortably within our home's interior design - with many of us now incorporating the natural environment into our designs for that modern look. 🙌
As a look that gives a room so much class and sophistication, neutral colours are far from boring and in fact can benefit your space in so many ways!
Layering organic materials such as woods, leather, wools, linen and rattan with neutral colours such as beige, ivory, blacks, greys, rust and shades of white, is the perfect way to add texture and visual interest to a room as well as make a beautiful warm statement within the space. 🤩🏠
What are your thoughts on the neutral colour palette? 🤔

✨ Tip Tuesday ✨
As a space commonly on the smaller side, powder rooms make for the perfect space to experiment with colour, textures and patterns ... and as a room that doesn't get used daily, its big creative impact won't tire.
Here's what to think about when designing a powder room both you and your guest will absolutely love!
✨Every powered room needs a toilet, basin and mirror, so why not make these the centrepiece.
✨Include a floating wall-mounted vanity to create the illusion of space.
✨Go big and go bold with your mirror. Experiment with shapes, colours and frames to find a mirror that will match your space and its design.
✨Lighting makes all the difference! Whilst overhead lighting can look great, it can cast shadows on people's faces. Installing a statement light on either side of the mirror or directly above can make such an impact.
✨Don't forget the all important ventilation. Whether that is a window or fan, having ventilation will help make the space feel fresh and luxurious.

How to Add a Pop of Colour to your Home's Design 💙💚💜❤️
Adding colour to your design can be quite daunting, especially when there are so many colours, textures and finishes to choose from. 🙃
While many of us will choose to add colour through our tile selections, feature splashbacks, cabinetry and benchtops - adding a feature wall or a feature colour to your island bench is a great way to add a punch of colour and show off your unique style. 🙌
When it comes to adding colour, a good rule of thumb is to use lighter or mid-tones on your main and feature walls as a way to make the space feel larger; keeping the darker tones to the furnishings within your space instead.
If you want to experiment first with colour before adding it to your walls and cabinetry, another great way to show off your style is to introduce pops of colour through your furnishing and decor, which can be easily changed to match the season. 😍😎

Lets Talk Tiles 😎🏡
A trending tile that adds so much sophistication and timelessness to the design of your home is the Herringbone Tile! 🙌
Perfect for creating a stylish bathroom feature walls or a gorgeous laundry and kitchen splashback, Herringbone Tiles come in all different colours, shapes, textures and sizes, and add a luxurious and elegant focal point to your home's design. ✨🤩
Laid at a 90-degree angle on either your walls or floors, herringbone tiles are great for creating the illusion of additional space!
✨If you are wanting to make a lower ceiling appear higher - positioning the tile pattern vertically up the wall, will help to draw the eye upwards.
✨Similarly, if you are wanting to elongate a narrow room - flip the pattern 45 degrees so the point of the herringbone tile runs horizontally across the wall.

✨ Tip Tuesday ✨
Adding a mirror to your space has more benefits than just giving you a place to check your outfit 😎 - they are also the perfect statement piece to make your room feel bigger and brighter. 🙌
Not only do mirrors optimise the natural light entering the space by bouncing the light around the room rather than absorbing it, they can also make spaces on the smaller side feel much larger! 🏠👏
Tip - place a mirror in front of an interesting reflection, such as a piece of art, window view or greenery, to highlight the beautiful colours and textures within your space by reflecting them into your vision from different angles. 🤩
