what is

Modern living is all about what is happening right now. The appreciation of the original artist and looking at what we do in our homes while being aware of our environment.

We are out of our beige coma and bursting with colour. No need to choose colours that everyone will agree with. Now, is about expression of yourself in colour and with a little bit of cheekiness.

MODERNLIVING

Don’t hold back on strong colours, as they are the perfect compliment to a modern home with large open spaces.

Create areas in your open plan living by using your furniture and accessories. A sitting area can be part of a large room that incorporates your lounge and dining but by using different coloured furniture and a rug you are able to make a ‘room within a room’.

Kick back and enjoy the space

Keep structure in your room by sticking to the same colour palette in paint and furniture but mix up your furniture styles.

Our lifestyle today is all about casual living and everyone being in the same room but doing different tasks. Kicking back with no airs or graces and decorating to suit how our family lives. Our lounge rooms are about creating casual comfort while maintaining elegance and a certain level of sophistication.

Energetic and chil led at the same time

For a lively dining space use bold art and wall colours. Contrast with crisp white and beautiful blonde timbers.

Your dining area is the meeting point of your home. It will be used for eating, homework and catching up with each other so put your emphasis here on colour so it doesn’t become cluttered.

A dining area in open plan living needs to be kept simple. Strong lines in your furniture means you only need to add one or two things like a lamp or artwork to complete the look. Dark colours make a room feel intimate when you have a large open space.

The conversation pit of the home

Soft colours, textured fabrics and furniture created with the environment in mind are a perfect combination for a restful bedroom.

Sustainable design is very much at the forefront of today’s living. Recycled and plantation timbers take us back to a simple, yet structured look. Blonde wood, hand printed fabrics and sustainable timbers create an interior with a warm and calm palette while being mindful of our environment.

Back to nature for your bedroom

Look to nature for inspiration in your colours and your patterns. Mix your patterns so the scheme doesn’t feel too structured and use fabrics like hemp and raw cottons to add texture.
