Destination: Home

Let’s all say it together, “I can’t wait to travel again!” Well, we say what’s stopping you? Destination: Home. We’re totally serious!

This year in particular, home has become a central place for almost every part of our lives – so why not make it an irresistible oasis?

Shades of blue, an indoor jungle, shell vases and cane furniture resonating that seaside villa, get ready to dive into the cooling and calming waters of what could arguably be the most accessible trip of a lifetime. 

Welcome to the jungle

Your home should be that sought after relaxing oasis one can only dream of! Go ahead and make it a reality and surround yourself with all the indoor plants your wallet can handle. Plants don’t just stop at looking great, they also purify the air in your home by absorbing toxins in the air all around -just another wonder of nature. 

These Concha Shell Bowls from Pillow Talk are the perfect vessels to put your newest plant babies in, with the shell design bringing the beachside vibe subtly onto your shelf or hallway table.

Cane here for a good time

If you caught last month’s “Get the Look: Retro Rattan”, we explored the revival of the cane & rattan furniture trend which is sweeping across a lot our stores and homes. It may be the bohemian or that coastal look most secluded seaside villa’s feature that we’re all pining for, which isn’t such a bad thing!

We’re all about this Bathala Wall Art hanging from Pillow Talk that just exudes a beach vibe that can’t be matched. Hang it above your couch, in the hallway, or above your bedhead to wake up in paradise.

Life’s a beach

So you’ve heard about all of the big things that can shift the vibe in your home from average suburban to mystery island villa by the water – but what about the small things that will elevate your space that little bit more? Well we’ve done the research for you, sit back and relax while we give you the tips!

For that empty corner in your living room, why not fill it with the Bermuda Junior Chair from Oz Design Furniture. The retro curve & woven backing design makes it a versatile piece that will go swimmingly with any cushion of your choosing, for example the Oriental Tiger Cushion from Fantastic Furniture. Cushions are a great way to add subtle colour to liven up a section of your home which can be a little too beige (but if you ask us, there’s nothing wrong with that either!). 

Vitamin D (for drinks!)

It’s not a holiday unless you can relax with an ice cold beverage in one hand! If you’re into entertaining having a quality bar cart to showcase and serve cool refreshments is a must. Check out the Jones Rectangular Bar Cart from Domayne with gold bars and a reflective mirror surface, for that happy hour glow to shine*! Serve your drinks on the Oasis Tray from Pillow Talk in style, which can also be used as a decorative tray for remotes, plants & display books for your living room!

Window to the outdoors

Scrolling through Pinterest looking at all those travel destinations that will make your heart swoon; escapism. We’re all guilty of it! The photos don’t have to stay on your phone for viewing, why not hang one up in your living space? Wall art is our friend, whether it be a beautiful landscape, you at your favourite destination or a dream travel stop; hang it up!

You’ll find yourself getting lost looking at art which takes you away to a place that, get this…needs no passport! For example, this Babylon Midnight Hotel Pool Wall Art from Adairs is the perfect dreamy depiction of what we’d all rather be doing.
