We naturally don’t have much time for major redecorating in summer. So today, we’re sharing five easy ways to update your interiors. From new décor trends to upcycling, with these tricks, you’ll start the new year with a fresh look.
Embrace glassware
When we say easy, we mean easy. Colourful glassware is a popular summer trend and a great way to brighten your home. It elevates any room by adding colour, texture and light play.
Check out these four fun ideas:
- Add a statement piece to your dining room table or coffee table. Check out the wavy glass vases in various colours from Statement The Label.
- Create a coloured glassware collection. Affordable brown tint glass vases are available at Big W in small, medium and large sizes. They’re all different shapes, so group a couple together to make a statement. You can also do this with glass candlesticks in various shapes and sizes.
- Use coloured glass pendant lights to play with light and colour and create a warm ambience. Zest Lighting is a Sydney-based online boutique with smoked and coloured glass pendant lights at affordable prices. Teardrop, art deco, wavy and dome lights are all available.
- Update your kitchen with colourful glassware or a glass carafe. Don’t be afraid to display them if your kitchen has open shelving.
Update your cushions
Cushions are an interior element you can change seasonally. Here are some summer cushion cover ideas to brighten up your Hills District home:
- Pretend you’re on vacation and embrace tropical vibes like palm prints, vibrant florals and tropical birds. Simply Cushions is an Australian family-run business with a great collection of tropical cushion covers.
- Add a pop of colour through fun citrus shades like lemon yellows and zesty oranges. Go one step further with a lemon print cushion cover to transport yourself to summer at a Tuscan villa.
- Embrace those quintessential Sydney coastal vibes with calm blues and greens. Pair this with natural textures like straw, linen or jute. We love the range of cushion covers available at Peacocks and Paisleys.
Revive an antique piece of furniture
Give a classic piece of furniture a new lease on life. If you don’t have anything at home in mind, check out Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace.
Here are our top upcycling tips:
- Change the hardware.
- Add new fabric.
- Change the function and transform a dresser into a console table, a bookshelf into an entertainment unit or a dining table into a desk.
- Add personalisation through stencils or mosaics.
Change up your rugs
Adding a rug is such an easy way to update your interior. One of the top summer rug trends is natural fibres like jute, seagrass or bamboo. KR Coastal Lighting is a local Kellyville store with seagrass rugs.
But keep an eye out while secondhand shopping. Get them professionally cleaned, and they’ll be as good as new. Otherwise, neighbouring Caste Hill has several rug store options, including Fantastic Furniture and Carpet Call.
Declutter
An easy way to update your home is to remove anything that doesn’t align with your current style or lifestyle. This creates a more cohesive look, and hey, when you sell a few pieces on Marketplace, you can use those funds to buy something new. Summer is a great time to declutter, as you can start the year with a blank canvas and get the kids involved.
Decluttering should be your first step if you intend to sell your Kellyville home in 2024. If you need help, let our team help you start the new year the right way.
