Your home interiors can play an important role in your mood. Walking into a room that features furniture and home décor you love can instantly lift it, while, on the flip side, stepping into a space with interiors you feel need updating can often make you feel agitated and stressed out.
That’s why it’s worth investing time and effort to get it right. While you may not have the hours or, let’s face it, budget to overhaul your home in one-go, doing it piece by piece is still an effective strategy — and, in fact, might even be a better option as you can see what’s missing or what’s too much as you go, and adapt the setup to that.

Rattan Furniture
Rattan furniture is made from rattan vines woven together, and is often seen in furniture and decor to add texture, contrast and trend. It’s known for being strong and durable, and as it is lighter than wooden furniture, it’s super convenient and easy to move around. It combines coastal chic with relaxed resort elegance to enhance any space– both indoors and outdoors.
The new Claremont Entertainment Unit ($399.95) is a generous 180cm with ample storage. The unique contrast design features curved rattan panels for a relaxed, luxe statement piece in your living room.

Fresh Neutrals
Neutral furniture and home décor can make a room feel larger and more spacious, allowing the lines of the room’s architecture and the neutral pieces themselves to take centre space. Offering the perfect canvas to add pops of colour and pattern by incorporating accent furniture and décor pieces.
The very popular Sintra Console Table ($139.95) beautifully combines neutral blonde tones with sleek Scandinavian design.

Bold Black
Black in the home is making a comeback. While it’s always been a sophisticated accent for interiors, in recent years, it was overshadowed by pastels and more neutral palettes. The key to incorporating black is moderation, using it only in statement pieces, like coffee tables, dining tables and entertainment units. Too much of it in a space can make it feel darker and more cramped and cluttered than it actually is.
Maximise your storage space with this Inca Three Drawer ($269.95), placing it in your bedroom, lounge room or office. The subtle chevron design and luxe gold accents will add a hint of sophistication to your space.

Coastal Inspired
For many, the beach is a place to immerse yourself in some of nature’s finest scenery, so it’s understandable that the furniture and decor synonymous with beach houses include textural rattan, soft linens and fresh white tones. Whether you live by the beach or not, if you enjoy the coastal home look, recreating the relaxed elegance of a coastal space is as simple as incorporating two to three key pieces into your room.
This Hamptons Dining Chair ($149.95) features the quintessential Hamptons cross-back design an a crisp white colour.
Mocka
Touch of Luxury
A touch of luxury as a trend refers to delicate textures like bouclé and brushed gold. Bouclé is an upholstery fabric made from looped yarn that’s been said to look most effective when upholstered on curved furniture, like rounded sofas or occasional chairs. Brushed gold, on the other hand, is a gold with a brushed satin finish.
This Boucle Queen Bedhead ($329.95), with its soft, fleecy fabric, will add a cosy touch to your bed.
Mocka
Velvet Collection
Plush velvet furniture has long been trending and it’s not showing any signs of stopping soon. Velvet as a colour has more depth than a flat cotton or linen fabric because it has a nap – direction in which the pile of fibres lie – that catches and reflects light across shapes and folds, making it look rich and enticing. Add a velvet piece to any room for a glamourous, art deco feel.
Add rich colour and luxe texture to a space with this Velvet Ottoman – Small, ($79.95) in petrol blue. Also available in sage green.
