Pick a room to start on, and attack it with a pair of rubber gloves and a bin bag. First step: clean everything! Poke into holes you’d forgotten about, delve into cupboards you’ve been putting off forever, jump right in to the depths of all your clutter and let it go. Use ‘time since last used’ as your rule of thumb, if it’s been three years since you last used it, chances are its rubbish.


The kitchen is the ideal place to sit and have a cozy chat with a neighbor or friend. Make your kitchen the perfect setting for coffee and unwinding. Bring your kitchen to life with smell. In the morning put a pot of coffee on, using freshly ground beans if you can. The smell of fresh coffee will envelope you when you walk into the kitchen. Use a cinnamon incense stick to make your kitchen smell like warm cookies and childhood. Home is a place to come home to. It offers a place to relax, unwind, and rest. It provides opportunity for interaction among family members—a safe harbor from the storms of life to find acceptance, security, and stability.


Thanks to its earthen glow and natural texture, wood organically adds sincerity in homes where steel and concrete became strongly-used staples. It makes a room grounded, enhancing contemporary spaces with an inspiring sense of rusticity. The use of wood creates a balanced visual symmetry – thanks to its consistent lines that work perfectly with most decor. It is a prevalent choice for spaces inspired with heterogeneous themes: coastal, rustic chalet, oriental and farmhouse, among many others. Apartments and smaller rooms will benefit from wood accents in lighter shades; it makes the space bigger, airier.



Wood adds warmth, texture, and a sense of natural grace in every modern home. No matter what your inspiration is – may it be traditional, modern or eclectic – utilising nature’s best gifts help create a visually stunning environment for you and your family to thrive in.
