Whether it's a classic tapware style or a statement tile, a modern country style is subtle yet charming. The benefit of a modern country style is that it does not have to be as intense as other farmhouse trends. This style favours modern shapes and colours, while playing beautifully alongside rustic textures and features such as wood or exposed metals. To achieve a modern country look and feel, consider nostalgic tapware styles in either matte black or brushed brass. Combine this with classic farmhouse colours such as sage, or navy blue - creating a classic yet modern space.

Looking to create a calm and soft space? Soft neutral tones are the perfect solution when designing your home as they evoke feelings of relaxation and calmness. To create this space, think earthy & beige tones in conjunction with linens, timber & ceramics. If you’re looking to introduce subtle colours, consider terracotta, soft pinks as well as tans & browns - this will ensure your space is cohesive throughout. Opting for a neutral colour scheme is perfect as it is appropriate year round.

Think overhead storage, butlers’ pantries & hidden compartments. Utility & function is here to stay in 2023 and beyond!

Brighten your room with a gorgeous new skylight. Natural light is a fantastic way to liven your space and to keep you feeling fresh and clean. Skylights also work as a statement piece in your room if positioned correctly. We love the look of a skylight over a shower or bathtub as it adds a unique point of view while adding depth and character to your space. This is a special touch that you will cherish for years to come.

All things curved and arched are in this year - and we’re not mad about it! Rounded edges compliment a soft finish and steer away from harsh edges and straight lines. This style compliments a coastal look as well as a modern or Mediterranean design. Introduce curved edges through your vanity design, tapware, bathtubs & basins and more. Consider rounded lighting and pendants that support this style and create a unique look & overall feel.

While hard and sleek edges can be modern and sharp, they can also be harsh and rigid. Hard edges are often less inviting than that of soft ones and create a division between space & design. To avoid or manage this, introduce softer finishes to your space, whether that is through pillows or throws, or even towels in the bathroom or laundry.  

While we love a classic white & grey bathroom or laundry, a splash of colour never goes astray. Opting for a white or grey scheme can create a clinical feel which isn’t very welcoming. By adding a touch of colour or a more neutral colour base, your space is instantly transformed into a warm and inviting space. This is an important consideration to bring into play when designing your next renovation as it can set your room apart from cold or overly modern spaces.

Too many designs that match can become overwhelming for the eye. Pattern overload creates a very loud and sometimes uncomfortable space, whereas a touch of pattern or design here and there can compliment a space. Unless you are aiming for a maximalist style, we suggest pairing things back with a simple wall paint with the addition of a fun or colourful print to let your character show.

While open shelves serve a purpose, they can quickly become cluttered and messy. While you may have every intention to keep them sparse and clean, unfortunately these spaces tend to collect dust as well as unwanted memorabilia. Trade out your open shelves for cupboards, sideboards and buffets. Wall mounted furniture is the perfect solution for your home as it effectively hides clutter while still serving a stylish purpose. This style of furniture is also convenient as it does not take up as much space compared to other bulky furniture items. Check out our range of wall mounted furniture below to replace those overflowing shelves.

Whether it’s a tiled wall in your bathroom, or a wallpapered feature wall in your bedroom, consider the intensity of design chosen. Highly patterned prints can become overwhelming and make a space look crowded. To avoid this, we recommend a more simple design that is still unique to your space. This isn’t to say you can't inject character into your home through other methods. Think large prints, statement rugs or more subtle features such as pendant lights. Add drama to your home through statement pieces that can be quickly interchanged in case you change your mind over time. Check out some of our favourite statement pieces below.
