The Weekly Edit

This week we talk about a New Year de-clutter and about the importance of bedroom design.

Also on show is a delicious summer salad I have been whipping up from The Two Raw Sisters.

1. New Year De-clutter

I always find that when I am home from summer holidays I want to declutter and organise ready for the year ahead.

 Here are some quick tips if you want to jump on board too!

1 - Eliminate the Unused . If it’s been a few years then it’s time to donate, sell or trash

2 - Every Item Has A Home. The goal for each of your belongings should be that it has a home when not being used. This helps maintain clutter-free status!

3 - Quality Over Quantity. Sometimes less is more - focus on fewer quality items that will last a long time.

2. Bedroom Bliss

The master bedroom design is critical for starting and ending your day in softness and relaxation. We spend one third of our lives in our beds so investment in this space pays dividends, both in improving sleep quality and how your body feels in the morning.

Your bedroom is your ultimate sanctuary so make sure you invest in a good quality mattress and linen, keep your room at a calming temperature using blockout curtains or blinds, eliminate screen time before sleep and make restful rituals before you get tucked in.

 3. Summer Salads

I’m loving all the fresh produce, berries and stone-fruit at the moment. Tasty weekend BBQ’s with a yummy salad keeps things simple and delicious (and healthy for all our New Year’s goals!)

I picked up the Raw Sister’s Salad Recipe book last summer and have been using it on repeat over the last few weeks. This recipe is definitely a fav! Cumin roasted beets and grilled pepper salsa

Loving for 2024

Mixing patterns for fun and interest. Think stripes, florals, and geometrics playing together in your cushion stories or go large in that powder room for maximum wow!

Design Tip

When building or renovating don’t forget to chat lighting with your designer. Beautiful and functional lighting will help you live well in the home as well as highlight key architectural features on the exterior and interior.

Tips For January

Invest in a great planner and get all those New Year goals locked down so you can create new habits and stay motivated to achieve your best results.
