Tropical Paradise

Most of us aren't lucky enough to live in a tropical paradise, but that doesn't mean we cant make our home feel like we do! Decorating your home with a tropical feel creates a very relaxed fun and bright place, laid back and stress-free! and who doesn't want that! :)

You can bring real life tropical plants into your home or go for oversized tropical prints like banana leafs and greenery on wallpaper, fabric, cushion, bedheads, artwork.... the options are endless !

These fabulous larger-than-life prints are certainly make a statement. Just be sure that the other décor items in your room is kept subtle so it doesn't compete with this fabulous tropical theme.

Take some inspiration from these homes, they do the tropical theme with such confidence and they look great!

What do you think? I want to go out and buy some banana leaf cushions right now!

Shipping Container Living

I love the idea of turning a shipping container into a place to live, whether it be your home, studio, granny flat, holiday house...

This isn't a new concept and its been done for a long time all over the world, its popularity particularly high because it is a cost effective product, readily available, made of steel so they are really strong, and are also designed to stack on top of each other which is great if you want a double storey!

And if you want to add some design flair the options are endless, wrapping the container in timber slats to create a modern feel, adding decks, colourful facades, lining internally with plasterboard or timber...anything you like!

If this is something youre interested in, you'd just have to check with your local council that your design meets the Building Code of Australia and energy star rating for an energy efficiency home.

Check out these fabulous homes that have been created from shipping containers!

Grey Base

Grey is a fantastic colour to use right now, its really great if you're looking for a neutral palette where your furniture and accessories are the feature items that can be easily updated and changed to re-create the feel of the room.

You can brighten a grey base with reds and yellows for the summer and then tone it down with blues and greens for the winter. Such a great way to create a versatile space that you can change the mood of as often as you like.

Here are some homes that have grey walls as their base, and by using different colours they each have created a different feel in each room...

I love greys as a base, which of the rooms above do you like best?

Bring the outside in

Living walls are a beautiful way to bring the outside into your home... they are self sufficient vertical gardens that you can easily do yourself. These are a fantastic idea in a world of ever decreasing garden and outdoor space and can instantly transform your space!

Not only are they beautiful but other benefits of these living walls are that they improve the quality of the air your breathe, they help improve the wellbeing of the occupants and also promote a calming and relaxed atmosphere.

Who wouldn't want an indoor garden after reading that!

Here are some garden walls to give you some inspiration for doing your own...
