If you’ve read my blog for a while and follow my daily outfits on Instagram, you will know I love to wear colour. I also love embracing colour in my home. Colourful interiors make me happy, and I tend to gravitate towards bright colours when decorating my home.
While we have the odd feature wall throughout our house, I embrace colour through cushions, artwork and quirky décor. I also love adding shades of green with live plants.
I have an eclectic mix of items that I swap around here and there.
I usually change things up straight after putting the Christmas tree away.
I thought I’d share some corners of my home that have had a bit of a refresh. The only new items on display are my Reese Witherspoon book, and two plants. I also bought new cushion covers for our outdoor setting to replace the mouldy, sun faded ones.
The larger framed artwork is from The Block Shop, and the smaller framed artwork is by Maggie. She did this painting at Kindy, when she was 4.
I was scrolling through photos of my décor style in previous years and it’s interesting to see I display things a bit differently. Always with levels and odd numbers of items grouped together.
I still need to update family photos, which is on my to do list for things to get done around the house.
Outside, I replaced the cushion covers. I had bought ‘outdoor’ cushion covers on eBay a few years ago, but the covers faded and went mouldy after being kept outside. My two Sunburnt Outdoor Living cushion covers were great, although they had slightly faded from the sun.
I had bought these in a seconds sale for my grandma as it was hard to find 60cm x 60cm sized cushion covers. But when I received them, the colour was not what I expected so I kept them for myself (too bright for Grandma). I wanted to refresh those cushions, so when the Boxing Day Sales arrived, I bought two new cushion covers.
I’m really happy with how they look outside. The two small cushion covers are from Bunnings, which I had bought a while ago. This area is where I like to retreat with Jacob to watch the kids play in the yard.
I’ve never had a flair for interior styling, but I do enjoy reading interior style blogs and take styling cues from their displays.
Everything I have on display speaks ‘home’ to me. Sometimes the kids add their own outdoor ‘treasures’ to my displays.
