3 Interior Design Tips That Will Transform Your Home
These tips can make a world of difference to a room or small space, budget friendly and with stunning results!
1) Cheer up small places with plants
As we tend to focus on large pieces of furniture like sofas and tables, corners of our homes are often left a little neglected. The solution? Add an array of fresh and different textured plants, big and small. The splash of green looks amazing in any room.
2) Use wallpaper in unexpected places
So long are the days were wallpaper is used on every wall. Instead, be clever and playful with it. Whether wallpaper in a corner of a room, underneath the staircase or inside cupboards – it instantly adds statement to your home.
3) Leave cabinets and shelving space open
Embrace clutter. Open shelving is a fantastic way to display our homeware and means we can actually be more diligent about what we keep.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
