So you want to achieve that designer look for your humble abode? Then read on as we share our top homeware styling advice to kickstart autumn! We know that decorating a home can be a tricky task – there are so many aspects to consider and that’s why many people look to hire an interior designer. But what if we told you that with help from Stockland you can not only do it yourself but on a budget too? Follow our suggestions and the results will be better than you expect!

Easy transformations

Small updates can make all the difference, (and when we say small, we mean small); in just five minutes you can successfully upgrade a bunch of fixtures in your home. We suggest looking to soft furnishings, lighting, and handles as your first port of call. To get the ball rolling be sure to stop by Kmart to pick up ultra-modern handles for as little as $7.50!

Add personality

The next step is to add personality with new homewares (think of it as jewellery for your home). Break up the task by focusing on one room at a time. We suggest beginning with communal rooms like the lounge room, dining space, bathroom, and kitchen. Be sure to head to Adairs for gorgeous trinkets, rugs, stylish cushions, and comfortable throws.

Tip: while you’re in the centre why not pick up fresh linen and towels? It’s a great way to start a new season feeling refreshed!

Mix it up

One-of-a-kind homewares don’t need to cost an arm and leg, simply create a mini project for yourself and try your hand at a DIY piece! There are so many reasons why you should adopt an upcycling project especially if you’re looking to save a few pennies, or want to keep one less thing out of landfill. The secret is to choose something you already have (and don’t love) and turn it into something you do love. Paint an alcove in a feature colour or refurb a coffee table!

Now you can consider yourself an interior design aficionado! And although it’s not as simple as waving a magic wand, it can be easy and affordable to turn your home into an autumnal haven. Remember it’s not a race – take your time and let things evolve over time. The first step to a home refresh is the easiest part – a trip to your local Stockland centre.
