FOUR AUSTRALIAN TRENDS TO EMBRACE
We’ve looked to OZ Design’s latest campaign for four hot Australian trends to embrace this winter.
1 TIMBER ACCENTS
A touch of timber in the home is a great way to warm up a space. Whether it’s a solid piece of furniture – like this beautiful Violet buffet, or just a touch of timber – like in the legs of this Atticus sofa (both pictured above), it can really inject a natural touch to a space. The key to getting this look right? Don’t overdo it. So for example if you opt for a timber dining table, don’t pair it with matching timber chairs - offset it with a contrasting colour/material to prevent it looking too matchy-matchy.
2 FLORALS AND VELVET
There’s something quite romantic about floral prints – they’re a massive trend at the moment. And do you know the perfect accompaniment to florals? Velvet. The look is oh so chic. And velvet also has a really soft feel to it. In winter, it’s so nice to be surrounded with lots of soft, cosy textures so be sure to add a touch of velvet to your home this winter.
3 NATIVE FLORA PRINTS
Aussie flora and fauna art prints art big right now in interiors – and we just love these ones pictured, available from OZ Design. In particular photographic prints with colours of pink and green are so popular, we just can’t get enough of those pretty pink tones. Our hot tip – pair one of these prints in a front entry with a blush pink door (like above) – dreamy!
4 COASTAL BOHO
It’s not hard to see why so many Australians love coastal, boho and Hamptons styles. It totally suits our climate and our relaxed way of life. This look works well with lots of white, and a splash of natural elements like jute and cane. If you can’t go a white sofa, opt for soft neutral tones like this Ashton sofa. This look will never date, and is in, no matter what the season.
