Who doesn’t want a home that immediately makes you relax when you walk into it after a long day of work? One of the simplest ways to achieve this is to clear any clutter and bring in neutral furniture and homewares, which can create a light and breezy atmosphere.
Take advantage of the start of summer to clear out any furniture and homewares that don’t spark joy and swap them with light-coloured, easy-breezy feel pieces instead. Pans, rugs and a pearl-inlaid stool – I’ve found a bunch of options that fit that brief.
Cooper and Co Astrid Side Table, $206.10
This 46cm-tall side table can be placed next to your bed or couch. Rest a stack of magazines or books, topped with a candle, on it. Or simply a colourful lamp.
Yaapsu Chunky Knit Blanket Throw, $70
This crochet, thick blanket will add cosiness to any bedroom. It comes in 16 colours, but my pick is the beige. It also comes in three sizes.
White Ceramic Face Vase, $26.99
This 12cm-tall vase can be placed on a console, coffee table or kitchen counter. It adds décor even when it’s not filled with flowers.
Decorative Ceramic Book Ends, $35.99
If you don’t want to stack your coffee table books, use bookends to prop them up. These ceramic bunny-shaped book ends add fun detail to a room.
Our Place Always Plan 2.0, now $175
Pots and pans are décor for the kitchen. For a sleek-looking, neutral-coloured pan that’s also hard-working, grab this model by brand Our Place. It braises, sears, steams, fries, bakes, boils and strains. Plus, it’s oven-safe up to 230 degrees Celcius. Grab it in a grey-ish colour called ‘steam’.
Wake in Cloud Light Beige Quilt Cover Set, $38.99
For an affordable bedding set, look no further than this option, which comes with a doona cover and two pillowcases. The microfiber material is lightweight, fade resistant and durable.

These pillow covers can be used on cushions for your bed or couch. The fringe hem adds interesting detail. They come in eight colours and three sizes.

This hand-loomed rug in a wool blend will make any lounge room look more pulled-together and comfortable.
La Casa Homewares Visconti (Set of 6), $290
These gold-trimmed plates are made of 100% porcelain, so should last a lifetime. Though they’re delicate, you can still pop them in the dishwasher. The set comes with six main course and side dish plates.

This 33-cm handcrafted side table features ethically-sourced mother of pearls. Pop it next to your bed or couch and stack it with a couple of coffee table books.
