It’s the start of a new month and a new season. Gently shift gear with some simple house refreshes that will switch up the mood at home.
Switch up the mood at home with a couple of simple house refreshes.
Fresh mood in an entrance hall vase
Dogwood and calla lily fresh blooms picked from the garden and artfully displayed in a vase will completely change how your hall looks and smells.
This 25.5 cm high stoneware vase has a matte finish, a raised circular base, and is made from RCS-certified recycled stoneware from the new collaboration between Zara Home and Berlin-based botanical creative Studio Mary Lennox. Price €59.95.
Create a welcoming breakfast set-up
It’s really hard trying to get the household back into a routine after the long hot summer. Dress the breakfast table to lift moods first thing in the morning.
This 100 per cent cotton madras check tablecloth is just the tonic a tired set-up needs. It costs €49.99 from Mango Home.
On reflection in the living room
This 80 cm high oblong mirror is framed by a slender gold rim that sits close to the wall.
The elongated silhouette opens up tighter spaces, creating a bright focal point that reflects natural light around the room.
It costs €30 from Dunnes Stores. The 45cm square green cushion also seen is priced at €12.
Stay cool in the bedroom
It’s a new month and time to turn over a new leaf on summer lapsed sleep rituals. Start afresh with a new duvet set.
This high-quality 300-thread count cotton Daisy print from Foxford delivers a smooth, comfortable feel with natural airflow and costs €159 for a king-sized duvet set.
Slow cooked kitchen
The truly memorable kitchen evolves.
DeVol’s shaker cupboards, painted in Quaker Cream and topped with cool marble, house all the necessities like the big fluted ceramic sink, dishwasher, oven, hob and storage.
The large fridge and pantry cupboard are decorated with their brass ventilation grilles, while a vintage island, big wooden table and glazed dresser add a little depth and soul to the room.
A couple of Helen stools and aged brass hardware, from €51.50 each, and you have a look that transcends trends.
Prices start from about €14,000 to order, excluding delivery, countertops and fitting.
