1. Start with Your Walls
Your walls are one of the most important places to style. A gallery wall using Mulbury recycled timber frames is an affordable way to refresh your interior.
- Mix different sizes, shapes and orientations for interest.
- Use recycled timber for warmth that complements any interior style.
- One large piece of art in a bold frame can create a powerful focal point.
This is a classic interior design approach that helps style your home with character while keeping things simple.
2. Add Natural Texture and Layers
When styling your home, texture is key. Interior stylists often recommend layering materials to add depth and warmth.
- Pair timber frames with linen cushions or organic bedding.
- Place a rug in the living room to make the room feel more cosy.
- Add a coffee table with a few coffee table books, a vase, or even candles or decorative bowls to bring balance.
Even a single piece of furniture styled well can transform a small room or open-plan kitchen living area into a chic, cohesive space.
3. Style with Purpose
Good interior design is not about clutter but about meaningful décor. Every choice should add beauty or function.
- A cluster of family photos in timber frames brings warmth to a hallway.
- Mirrors framed in recycled timber bounce light around and make a small room look bigger.
- A simple lamp or floor lamp paired with bedside tables can instantly improve a bedroom nook.
When you style your home with intention, you create a design scheme that tells a story.
4. Embrace Seasonal Styling
Your home style can change through the seasons.
- In spring and summer, lighter timbers, airy linen, and pops of fresh colour will brighten any interior. A few flowers or greenery or even a bunch of fresh flowers in a recycled timber frame vase will add freshness.
- In autumn and winter, deeper hues, layered bedding, and heavier textures help your home feel warm and inviting.
This rotation not only keeps your interior style looking on-trend but also helps create a dream home atmosphere that feels new each season.
5. Think Sustainability
Styling can make a big difference when selling your home. Sustainable décor is not only good for the environment but also attractive to a potential buyer. Property stylists often recommend adding pieces that will last, like recycled timber frames, house plants, or a carefully chosen colour palette.
Mulbury frames are handcrafted in Melbourne from reclaimed timber, making them pieces that can elevate your interior while reducing waste. By choosing sustainable furnishings, you not only refresh your home look but also increase your sale price by appealing to buyers who value quality and authenticity.
