When it comes to decorating the interior of our homes, furniture fills a lot of the footprint of the home so it’s important to take the time to select the right pieces of furniture that will suit the space, add value to how the space serves you and also ensure the pieces chosen visually work together harmoniously and collectively to make the interior look that you are wanting to achieve.
Have you ever stopped to think about your dining table and all of the wonderful conversations that have been held around it? The dining table is such a key piece of furniture in our homes. It brings people together to enjoy delicious meals and build relationships through conversation. We think it’s one of the key areas of your home. What do you think?
Are you in the process of purchasing a new dining table be it for an open plan meals area, an outdoor entertaining area or a dedicated dining room? Believe it or not there are a lot of things you will want to consider

I’m starting to see a stronger reference to the art of knitted and crocheted homewares being used in domestic interior trends, are you?
I remember the days back in my childhood when my mum taught me to knit and my grandmother taught me to crochet. My mother (now deceased) was never idle…. if she was watching TV (a rarity) she was knitting as well…. you get the picture. Knitting…. 5 years back I may have thought was a lost art, some may even think it today but no I think it’s back. You only have to dig deep into that recycled, vintage, home made interior bent that I was talking about to see that knitwear woman’s fashion isn’t the only thing that is making a come back. As pictured above our interiors now have the opportunity to be graced with yester years homely memories in the form of knitted cushions, lampshades, cable throw rugs, bedspreads, place mats, upholstery, floor rugs and more.

All I know is sometimes its nice to look back and reclaim some of those beautiful memories surrounding the skills learnt and passed down through the generations and implement them in a new way to create a new look for our current generation of interiors. I know I will be teaching my kids how to knit.
Have you implemented any knitted furnishings into your current home decor? I’d love to see pictures or hear about it…..
