How To Style Art Deco Furniture

Step into the glamorous world of Art Deco furniture, where sophistication and style meet timeless elegance. At Homemaker The Valley in Brisbane, our exquisite selection of Art Deco pieces promises to transform any space. Whether you’re refreshing an existing room or embarking on a new design project, discover how to style your Art Deco furniture with flair and finesse.

 

What is Art Deco Style?

Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, emerged as a prominent design style in France before becoming a global phenomenon in the 1920s through the 1940s. Known for its sleek lines, geometric patterns, and symmetrical designs, Art Deco furniture exudes luxury and sophistication. This style blends rich colours, bold geometry, and decadent detail work, featuring materials like chrome, glass, shiny fabrics, and mirrored surfaces. From lavish opulence to streamlined modernity, Art Deco furniture will make a bold statement in any interior.

 

1. Embrace Bold Geometric Patterns

Renowned for its bold geometric shapes and vibrant patterns, Art Deco furniture often features striking colour contrasts and palettes. Consider starting with a statement piece like this Ancari buffet in mango wood from OzDesign, or opting for geometric throws or soft furnishings in deep greens, golds or blacks like this cushion from Domayne. To balance these vibrant elements, pair them with block colour accessories that enhance rather than compete with your Art Deco pieces.

 

2. Opt for Luxurious Materials and Textures

Art Deco design is all about luxury and opulence. Enhance your home with furniture in velvet like this olive green 3 seater velvet sofa from Early Settler, plush bedding, throws or cushions from Sheridan Outlet, sleek leather accents or marble like this marble-topped rectangular coffee table from DeRucci. These textures not only enrich the visual appeal but also add a tactile sense of decadence.

 

3. Lighting as Art

Lighting plays a pivotal role in Art Deco interiors, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Opt for lamps and chandeliers with angular designs and metallic finishes like this stunning Azzurra chandelier from Casa Blanco to highlight your art deco pieces. A well-placed light can draw attention to the beautiful details and finishes that define Art Deco style.

 

4. Add Reflective Surfaces

Mirrors and other reflective surfaces are a hallmark of Art Deco design. They add a layer of elegance while also helping to make a space feel larger and more open. Look for stylish mirrors like this Dominique Emerald mirror from Early Settler with gold or chrome finishes, angled edges or arches that can be strategically placed to enhance the art deco aesthetic of your room. We also love this highly reflective Dome Table Lamp from Freedom which fulfils the brief of both “lighting as art” and incorporating reflective surfaces. You can find a range of decorative items to create this look at TK Maxx, Adairs and Domayne, from metallic or glass-finished vases that complement your furniture’s dramatic palette to book ends and serving trays.

8 Creative Ways to Maximise Under Stair Storage

Are you ready to unlock the hidden potential of those underused nooks in your home? Discover the transformative power of under stair storage ideas with Homemaker The Valley. Our diverse range of retailers offers an array of stylish and functional products that can turn that underused under stair area into a wonderfully practical and visually appealing space. Whether it’s a mud room for your kids’ school bags and footy boots you’re after, or a hidden reading nook, we’ve got just the thing to meet your needs and elevate your home’s aesthetics.

 

1. Built-In Book Shelves

Use bookcases or storage units from stores like Freedom and build in around them. These units are perfect for storing books, cookbooks and even decorative items in an aesthetic and organised manner.

 

2. Cosy Reading Nook

If you’ve got the space, you may be able to create a usable reading nook. Add in pull-out storage systems and bookcases that can be installed under the stairs. Add some soft furnishings like floor cushions or a comfy chair like this leather wing chair from Domayne for comfort, and have some downlights installed to illuminate books and décor, or add a stylish table lamp from Freedom.

 

3. Mudroom With Built-In Seating With Storage

Transform the under-stair area into a practical mudroom. Head to Eureka Furniture, Early Settler or Provincial Home Living for hooks and racks for coats and hats and hallway cabinets, add a bench for seating and shoe storage underneath, and consider Howards Storage World and TK Maxx for durable baskets or bins for stowing away items like umbrellas, floaties and sports gear. This setup not only keeps your entranceway clutter-free but also makes the most of the often-underutilised space beneath the stairs, providing a neat and tidy area to greet you as soon as you step through the door.

 

4. Wine Storage

For wine enthusiasts, elevate your under-stair space into a sophisticated wine cellar with elegant wine storage solutions from Kitchen Warehouse and Howards Storage World. Choose from their selection of wine racks that can be customised and affixed to your wall in various layouts. Complement these storage options with stylish bar cabinets like the Havasa bar cabinet from James Lane, or the Dominique Drinks Trolley in gold from Early Settler which can serve not only as functional storage but also add a decorative touch.

 

5. WFH Corner

If your space is big enough, you may be able to transform your under stair area into a compact home office. Harvey Norman offers a range of small desks and office storage units that fit neatly into this space, making it an ideal spot for a quiet work area.

 

6. Children’s Play Area

Turn the under stair area into a delightful play nook for kids with clever use of space and the right accessories. Start with child-friendly furniture from Adairs like a kids couch or floor cushions to create a comfortable and inviting environment. Add educational toys and playful decorations from TK Maxx and Baby Bunting to stimulate creativity and learning. Utilise storage options from Howards Storage World to keep the area tidy and organised, and consider finishing the space with some string lights and a canopy for that magic touch.

 

7. Pet Sanctuary

Create a cosy retreat for your pets under the stairs. TK Maxx is your go-to for chic pet beds, innovative pet food storage and unique accessories and toys to enhance your pet’s new haven. This dedicated spot not only gives your pets a sense of security but also helps keep pet supplies out of your main living areas, maintaining a clean and orderly home.

 

8. Seasonal Storage Closet

Utilise the under-stairs area for seasonal items like Christmas decorations or bulky winter clothing. Howards Storage World offers a variety of closet systems and storage containers that can keep your seasonal goods well-organised and out of sight.

The great outdoors

When the temperatures start to rise, it’s that time of year when we all want to spruce up our outdoor spaces. With summer kicking in, nature’s beauty is right at our fingertips, and it feels like the world is our playground. But where do you even start? Let’s chat about turning your outdoor area into the ultimate summer hangout!

There’s something magical about enjoying those sunny days with friends and family, whether it’s lounging by the pool, firing up the barbecue, or simply soaking in the fresh air. But to really elevate your alfresco experience, the right furniture makes all the difference! From cosy coastal vibes to vibrant bohemian flair or sleek modern minimalism, there’s a style out there to match your vibe. So, let’s dive into a few fun outdoor decor trends that will turn your backyard, balcony, or patio into the go-to spot for summer gatherings!

 

Slim Aarons-inspired décor

Adairs Citron Footed Vase $269.99, Adairs Soho Stripe Indoor & Outdoor Rug from $179.99, Adairs Summer Fruit Lemon Coupe Glass Gift Pack of 2 $39.99, Domayne Jones Rectangular Bar Cart $259, Eureka Furniture Beachmere Timber Sun Lounge $1,999, Freedom Fitzroy Outdoor Cushion $39.95, James Lane Bomani Tall Round Vessel $224.95, OZ Design Alfie Framed Print $429, Provincial Home Living Soho Director’s Chair $229.95.

First up is Slim Aarons-inspired outdoor décor. Known for his iconic work as a photographer, Aarons had a unique talent for capturing the glitz, glamour, and leisurely lifestyles of the elite. Just one glance at his stunning images transports you to sun-drenched days in the south of France or lounging in Palm Springs with an icy martini in hand. This décor style embraces natural light and vibrant colours, evoking a carefree, aspirational vibe.

To achieve this look, focus on incorporating oversized, comfortable seating – think plush lounges and sun-soaked chaise lounges that invite relaxation. Use vibrant cushions in rich hues or bold patterns to add pops of colour, and don’t shy away from mixing textures like rattan, linen, and cotton. Add in natural elements, like lush greenery and potted plants, to create a sense of organic beauty.

Lighting is also key; opt for string lights or lanterns that cast a warm, inviting glow as the sun sets. And, of course, set the scene with elegant tableware for alfresco dining – think chic glassware and vibrant table linens that echo those dreamy summer days. With these elements, you’ll be able to channel that Slim Aarons style, turning your outdoor space into a glamorous retreat.

 

Tuscan terrace style

Adairs Sphere Lychee Bloom Candle 400g $25, DecoRug Tall Abstract Ceramic Vase $19.96, Eureka Furniture Solar Large Round Patio Chair $2,399, Freedom Growing Herbs Book By Beaglier Books $29.95, Provincial Home Living Kylix Urn $139.95, Provincial Home Living Olive Tree $79.95, Provincial Home Living Paradiso Umbrella $1,299.  

The Tuscan terrace trend is one that blends terracotta hues with vibrant whites and fresh greenery, creating a dreamy space that transports you straight to Italy. It’s all about creating the feeling of sipping a glass of refreshing wine under the warm Tuscan sun, surrounded by décor that radiates rustic elegance. This style is perfect for summer gatherings, injecting every outdoor event with that unmistakable Italian flair that makes hosting feel special. After all, when it comes to entertaining, the Italians truly know how to set the scene!

To bring this look to life, start with warm terracotta pots filled with lush plants and herbs like basil and rosemary. Opt for a dining table made of weathered wood paired with comfortable, cushioned chairs in crisp white or soft neutrals. Layer in vibrant table linens and colourful ceramics to create a stunning tablescape.

 

Indoor-outdoor design

Adairs Monte Florida Palms Indoor Mat $39.99, DecoRug Terrazzo Look Sculptural Side Table $127.46, Eureka Furniture Antoine Oak Dining Chair $449, Freedom Davenport Planer from $119, Freedom Miro Dining Table $2,199, Freedom Sonata Outdoor Modular Sofa $3,499, OZ Design Pila Round Mirror $659, The Furniture Shack Tequila Sunrise Outdoor UV Wall Art $249.  

No need to adjust your glasses; the line between indoor and outdoor living is delightfully blurred – and for good reason! This trend is all about creating a harmonious environment that elevates your lifestyle and makes your home feel more expansive. You can easily achieve this look by incorporating earthy materials like stone and wood, which bring a natural touch to both spaces. Layered lighting is key; think strategically placed fixtures that set the mood and extend the usability of your areas into the evening hours.

Equally important is choosing chic yet durable furniture for your outdoor areas that mirrors the comfort of your indoor pieces. Look for plush sofas and stylish dining sets that encourage relaxation and foster a laid-back vibe throughout. You can also enhance the connection between spaces by adding large glass doors or expansive windows that invite the outside in. By focusing on these elements, you can easily integrate indoor and outdoor living.

Outdoor Decor for the Ultimate Summer Oasis

With summer on the horizon, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and turn your outdoor area into the ultimate hangout spot. Whether you’re channelling the effortless elegance of Slim Aarons, embracing the warm charm of Tuscan terraces, or blending indoor comforts with outdoor living, the possibilities are endless. By selecting the right outdoor furniture and décor, you’ll create an inviting space that’s perfect for everything from cozy family dinners to lively weekend get-togethers.

Bring the beach home

When it comes to interior design, opinions are as divided as ever. Trends come and go, leaving us wondering what’s in and what’s out. Styles that once dominated the scene are now seen as tired and dated, while others that were once dismissed are suddenly the epitome of trendy.

One style that often sparks debate is coastal décor. At its heart, this look is all about creating a calming space with natural materials, evoking that easy breezy summer vibe. But when it’s done wrong, it can feel more kitschy than coastal.

The good news? We’re here to steer you away from the clichés. Here’s your guide to three of the best coastal trends that will turn your home into a serene, stylish retreat – minus the gimmicks. Keep reading to discover how to make coastal décor work for you.

 

Luxurious Hamptons:

coastal interior

Adairs Elio Stripe Tall Vase $29.99, Casa Blanco Arora Chandelier $3,800, Eureka Furniture Aruba Rope Table Lamp $149, Eureka Furniture Hamptons Tigerlilly Artwork, Freedom Easton Coffee Table $1,149, Provincial Home Living Chandler Cabinet $3,499, Provincial Home Living French Armchair $1,099, Provincial Home Living Ansie Planter $69.95.

A luxurious Hamptons home embodies timeless elegance, blending classic coastal charm with upscale sophistication. Picture airy, light-filled spaces with high, coffered ceilings and crisp white walls, creating a serene backdrop. The décor leans into natural textures like rattan, driftwood, and linen, balanced by plush furnishings in muted tones – think soft creams, dove greys, and hints of navy . Statement lighting, like large lantern-style fixtures or crystal chandeliers, add a touch of glamour without overshadowing the relaxed vibe. In the living room, expect deep, cushy sofas draped with lightweight throws, paired with accent chairs in nautical stripes or textured upholstery. The kitchen is typically expansive, with shaker-style cabinetry, a marble island, and polished nickel or brass hardware. Open shelving or glass-front cabinets display artisanal ceramics, glassware, coastal photography, and sculptural décor.

 

Rustic coastal:

Adairs Azul Cushion $59.99, Adairs Olive Stem in Vase $129.99, Freedom Retreat Fabric Sofa $2,999, OZ Design Abstract Tabletop 1 Collection Framed Print $259, Provincial Home Living Bengal Stripe Linen Cushion $139.95, Provincial Home Living Connor Coffee Table $1,199, Provincial Home Living Kylix Urn $139.95, Provincial Home Living Millicent Linen Throw $199.95.

On the other hand, the rustic coastal trend is all about embracing natural beauty while keeping things unpretentious. Picture a sun-drenched space where weathered wood meets soft, breezy fabrics, and everything feels lived-in yet thoughtfully curated. At the heart of this style are raw materials – think reclaimed wood beams, distressed finishes, and handwoven textures. slipcovered sofas in light, breathable linen, offset by a reclaimed wood coffee table. Accent chairs might feature natural fibres like rattan or wicker, bringing in that earthy, seaside feel. Pops of colour are subtle, often inspired by the surrounding landscape – soft blues, seafoam greens, and sandy beiges that echo the shoreline. Décor elements like driftwood-framed mirrors, nautical rope accents, and woven baskets add character without feeling overly styled.

 

Coastal boho:

Adairs World’s Softest Byron Washable Rug 200x300cm $499.99, Eureka Furniture Farmhouse Round Table $574.50, Freedom Mist Corduroy Sofa $2,069, Freedom Polina Decorative Bowl $39.99, James Lane Lyon Wall Mirror $249, James Lane Madison Pot $39.95, Sheridan Outlet Shaws Cushion $49.99.

For those who enjoy a bit of creativity, coastal boho is for you! It’s a style where laid-back beach living meets artistic, bohemian flair, creating a space that feels effortlessly chic. Layered textiles are key here – think macramé wall hangings, handwoven rugs, and breezy, sheer curtains that let the natural light pour in. Furniture is often low-slung and comfortable, with oversized floor cushions, rattan chairs, and daybeds draped in throws, inviting you to relax. Plants are essential in coastal boho décor – think towering palms, leafy ferns, and cascading vines that add life and movement to the room. Shells, coral, and sea glass are often sprinkled throughout, subtly tying the space back to its coastal roots without being too on-the-nose. The overall vibe is casual and organic, with a mix-and-match approach that feels collected over time. A Moroccan pouf might sit next to a woven hammock chair, while soft linen pillows in playful patterns are scattered across a sectional. It’s a space that encourages lounging, gathering, and connecting.

There you have it! Whether you’re drawn to Hamptons décor, rustic coastal charm, or the laid-back, eclectic vibe of coastal boho, there’s a coastal style for every taste. The key is finding the one that resonates with your lifestyle and home aesthetic (while avoiding the clichés that can make the look feel forced). By embracing natural materials, thoughtful details, and a relaxed, easy breezy vibe, you can transform your home into a coastal retreat that feels authentic and inviting!

How to master Christmas decor in 2024 

First things first, gather those ornaments and prepare to elevate your decorating game. This is your chance to create a festive wonderland that even Santa might want to chill in for a bit. So, if you’re ready to ditch the usual tinsel-and-tacky combo, let’s talk about how to turn your home into a stylish holiday haven.

Goodbye red & green 

We get it – traditional red and green has been holding down the Christmas décor scene forever, but why not mix things up this year? Think soft whites, shimmery metallics, and rich jewel tones to give your home a sophisticated, elegant vibe that still screams festive. It’s all about creating a space that sparkles without overwhelming. Head to Adairs for minimalist ornaments, like glass baubles in delicate designs and little touches of pine, perfect for adding an air of understated glamour. These choices are sure to upgrade your space without it looking like Santa’s workshop exploded in your living room. 

 

Cosy vibes only 

Now, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without adding some seriously cosy vibes. This is your cue to pull out the luxe fabrics. Velvet throw pillows? Check. Faux fur blankets? Double check. These soft textures invite you to snuggle up, and watch Christmas classics with the air conditioning blasting. And let’s not forget about lighting – drape warm white fairy lights for a glowing effect that instantly says “festive” without being too much. 

 

Keep it simple 

Let your style shine by creating focal points that glimmer without blinding anyone. A beautifully set dining table, for example, can become the heart of your holiday gatherings. Think simple yet elegant centrepieces from Domayne. Not only will your table look ready for a magazine cover, but it’ll also set the perfect tone for all those family feasts and friendly get-togethers. And while we’re talking festive, don’t forget about adding a little holiday scent to the mix from Freedom. Cinnamon, pine, or vanilla-scented candles can make your home smell as good as it looks.
