STYLE YOUR WAY TO SERENITY WITH ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT

- 

When we think of a healthy home, our minds often jump to keeping it clean and tidy. But home wellness goes beyond simply maintaining an immaculate space. There's a strong connection between our environment and our state of mind - creating a calming home can enhance our overall wellbeing.

We chatted with Lucy Sutherland, director of insights and trends at Temple & Webster, who shares tips on how a few small changes can make a big difference in creating a happier, healthier home.

Over the past few years we've seen an abundance of curved furniture and soft silhouettes. “Rounded shapes make a room feel inviting and restful,” explains Lucy. “We are seeing strong directional trends towards organic shapes and curved furniture with soft lines in seating and subtle curved details on traditionally harder angled products like bedheads and dining tables.” But don't discard your classic, straight-edged furniture just yet! "It is all about ensuring a good balance between straight lines and angles and curved pieces," stresses Lucy. "That combination can add welcomed structure as well as balance."
