LOVE THE LITTLE SPACES

Transform your courtyard or the

unused spot down the side of your

house into a charming sitting area and

you’ve just created the place to be all

season long. Put down pavers and

install lighting, then hit up Bunnings

for similar vertical gardening systems.

And get a shade sail while you’re there.

GET INTO

THE GROOVE

If your kitchen, dining

and outdoor area is a bit

of a blank canvas, you’ll

easily fall into the habit

of mixing up the styling

every other season.

What’s hot? Colour is

always in, especially

when surrounded by

plenty of neutral finishes.

Here, lime bar stools

make a visual connection

with similarly punchy

outdoor furniture.

Now swing open your

windows and doors. Hello,

summer entertaining!

DINE IN STYLE

Forget about getting rid of unloved dining

chairs. If they’re perfectly comfy, cover them

with loose fabric slips – made by you. Also

set the date for your electrician to suspend a

show-stopping feature light above your table.
