Create a Spa-Worthy Sanctuary at Home

As winter settles in, there’s no better feeling than escaping to a bathroom that soothes the senses and warms the soul. Enter: the Soak & Snuggle bathroom retreat. With the right textures, scents and styling, your everyday bathroom can become a sanctuary of slow moments and soft rituals. Here’s how to create your own spa-inspired space at home this season.

 

Layer plush textures

Start with the soft stuff. Think extra-fluffy towels, bath mats underfoot, and a cosy robe you can’t wait to wrap yourself in. Choose warm neutrals or calming hues to visually soften the space. Look to Bed Bath N’ Table and Sheridan for tactile bath linens and luxe layering.

 

Set the mood with lighting and scent

Goodbye, harsh overheads. This is your excuse to indulge in ambient lighting – think wall sconces, candles, or a low-glow lamp on the vanity. Pair it with a scent ritual: layer diffusers with a soft vanilla or amber candle from Adairs for a warm, cocooning effect.

 

Style your bath tray like a pro

If you’ve got a bathtub, make it a feature. Style a wooden caddy with your winter must-haves: a good book, bath soak, skincare, and a ceramic cup of tea. Head to Early Settler or TK Maxx for trays, glassware and display-worthy bath products.

 

Adairs Kendrick Natural Laundry Range $329.97 Howards Storage World 3 Tier Black Mesh Trolley – Square $99.00 Provincial Home Living Albany Antique Milking Stool $260.00 Bed Bath N’ Table Hudson Door Hook Set Of 2 $29.95 House MyHouse Cove Bath Runner $99.99 Bed Bath N’ Table Wood Base Perforated Hurricane $89.95 

 

Introduce earthy accents

Spa styling doesn’t have to be clinical. Add organic warmth with timber stools, rattan baskets, stone accessories or a small plant (a faux olive or trailing fern works well in humid zones). These details bring depth and calm to a mostly white space.

 

Create a winter ritual corner

No bath? No problem. Transform a section of your bathroom into a mini ritual station. Stack towels in a woven basket, place a robe on a hook, and keep essentials like oils, incense or facial tools within easy reach. This small moment of styling adds a luxurious pause to your daily routine.

 

Get your bathroom ready for winter at Nunawading Homemaker HQ

By layering sensory elements – touch, scent, warmth, and glow – you can turn your bathroom into the ultimate winter retreat. Whether you’re soaking in the tub or wrapping up after a hot shower, your bathroom can become the cosiest room in the house.

Warm Up Your Space with a Winter Kitchen Reset

As the temperature drops, our kitchens become more than just places to prep meals — they transform into gathering spaces, comfort zones and scent-filled sanctuaries. A winter kitchen reset is all about warmth, texture and ritual. It’s not a full renovation — just a few intentional swaps that make the heart of your home feel more inviting for the colder months ahead.

Here’s how to embrace the season, one comforting detail at a time:

JB Hi-Fi KitchenAid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder $999 Bed Bath N Table Tondo Tea Pot $19.95 Provincial Home Living Thistle Recipe Stand $39.95 Nick Scali Atkins Buffet $1790 Urban Rhythm Immersion Canvas $399 Adairs Mimi Blue & Mustard Cotton Bamboo Tea Towel $16.09

 

Layer with warmth and texture

Start with simple tactile swaps — soft linen tea towels, timber chopping boards, a new woven runner. These small changes instantly add a sense of cosiness and character. Look to TK Maxx, and Kitchen Warehouse for rustic styling pieces and tonal upgrades.

 

Create a simmer station

A winter essential: the stovetop simmer pot. Style your bench or cooktop with a ceramic pot or cast iron Dutch oven (bonus points for colour). Keep bundles of dried orange, cinnamon, and cloves in clear jars for a practical-meets-pretty display. Explore Kitchen Warehouse for simmer-ready cookware and accessories.

 

Curate a seasonal coffee or tea nook

Whether you’re a chai devotee or a flat white loyalist, give your hot drink setup its own moment. Style a tray with mugs, a stovetop kettle, a container of your favourite blend, and maybe a sweet treat. Freedom and Provincial Home Living have beautiful canisters, spoons and trays to elevate your daily ritual.

 

Style with seasonal produce

Bowls of citrus, bundles of herbs, or loaves of crusty bread aren’t just kitchen staples — they double as décor. Opt for wood or ceramic bowls and board-style serving pieces that feel grounded and organic.

 

Add ambient kitchen lighting

Fluoro lighting has no place in a winter kitchen reset. Swap harsh overheads for soft pendant lights, wall sconces or even a low lamp in the corner of your kitchen. Dimmable bulbs and warm tones will create that soft, café-at-home vibe. Shop Harvey Norman for ambient-friendly options.

 

Get your kitchen ready for winter at Nunawading Homemaker HQ

With just a few styling shifts and thoughtful details, your kitchen can become the ultimate cold-weather comfort zone. Whether you’re batch cooking or sipping tea by the stove, make winter in the kitchen feel deliciously slow, warm and personal.

10 ways to transition your home for autumn

As the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with warm, cosy touches that embrace the essence of autumn. From rich earthy tones to textured layers, here are ten easy ways to transition your space for the season.

 

Adairs Milford Sienna Stripe Cushion $49.99, Bed Bath N’ Table Morgan & Finch Marrakesh Throw $59.95, DecoRug Textural Abstract Framed Canvas Wall art $149.95, Adairs Catalina Floor Light $189.99, Koala Living Sorrento II Fabric 3 Seater from $1,999, DecoRug Ridged Glass Footed Bowl $49.95, Urban Rhythm Giotto Vase $143, Provincial Home Living Bengal Stripe Cushion $139.95.

 

1. Warm up your colour palette

Swap out bright summer hues for deeper, moodier shades. Think burnt orange, deep burgundy, olive green, and warm neutrals to create an inviting autumnal feel.

 

2. Introduce cosy textures

Layering is key to making your home feel warm and inviting. Bring in chunky knit throws, velvet cushions, and wool rugs to add depth and comfort to your space.

 

3. Refresh your foliage

Replace summery florals with dried arrangements, eucalyptus branches, or autumn leaves. A vase filled with pampas grass or wheat stalks instantly adds seasonal charm.

 

4. Incorporate natural elements

Wood, stone, and rattan bring an organic, grounded feel to any room. Opt for handcrafted décor, wooden bowls, or ceramic vases for an effortlessly chic autumn update.

 

5. Layer in soft lighting

As daylight fades earlier, soft lighting creates a cosy atmosphere. Swap bright white bulbs for warm-toned ones, add flickering candles, or introduce a statement floor lamp.

 

6. Switch up your bedding

Trade lightweight linens for thicker duvets and flannel sheets. Deep-toned bedspreads and textured cushions will make your bedroom feel snug and seasonal.

 

7. Create a seasonal scent

Engage your senses with autumn-inspired fragrances. Diffuse essential oils like cinnamon and clove, light spiced vanilla candles, or simmer apples and oranges on the stove for a natural scent.

 

8. Update your tableware

Elevate your dining space with earthy-toned dinnerware, rustic wooden serving boards, and seasonal centrepieces. It’s the perfect way to make everyday meals feel special.

 

9. Add a nook

Carve out a little retreat with a plush armchair, soft blanket, and warm lighting. Whether it’s for reading, sipping tea, or unwinding, a cosy corner is a must for autumn.

 

10. Style your entryway

Set the tone for the season right at the door. A textured doormat, a wreath of dried foliage, or a basket with extra throws can make your entryway feel warm and welcoming.

 

With just a few thoughtful updates, your home can embrace the beauty of autumn in a way that feels effortless and inviting. Visit Nunawading Homemaker HQ for all your seasonal styling needs and get inspired to create a cosy retreat this fall.

The Wabi Sabi way to style your home

As the crisp air of autumn settles in and the leaves take on their golden hues, nature reminds us of the beauty found in imperfection. It’s the perfect time to embrace Wabi Sabi – an ancient Japanese philosophy that finds elegance in the aged, the weathered, and the naturally imperfect. Rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and a deep appreciation for nature, Wabi Sabi is more than a design trend – it’s a way of life. Here’s how you can bring its calming, organic charm into your home this season.

 

Celebrate natural materials

Wabi Sabi thrives on the raw and unrefined. Think weathered wood, hand-thrown ceramics, crinkled linen, and unpolished stone. This autumn, swap out synthetic or overly refined pieces for items with natural textures that tell a story. A handwoven wool throw or a ceramic mug with an imperfect glaze can instantly add warmth and authenticity to your space.

 

Embrace the art of imperfection

Perfection is overrated, and Wabi Sabi is all about embracing flaws. Cracks in pottery, slightly asymmetrical furniture, and timeworn surfaces add to the character of your home. Instead of replacing an old wooden table, lean into its charm by highlighting its grain, knots, and scratches.

 

Curate a minimal yet meaningful space

While minimalism focuses on decluttering, Wabi Sabi prioritises meaningful curation. Instead of filling your space with trend-driven décor, opt for pieces with sentimental value – perhaps a handmade bowl or a well-loved book with dog-eared pages. The goal is to create an environment that feels lived-in and personal, rather than pristine and untouched.

Provincial Home Living Craph Cushion $99.95, Urban Rhythm Elliot Mirror $290, Koala Living Shoreline Painting $599, Koala Living Isadora Isabelline Dining Chair $698, Bed Bath N’ Table Morgan & Finch Evergreen Ceramic Vase $39.95, DecoRug Henley Jute and Wool Floor Rug $599, House Ecology Element Espresso Cup and Saucer Set $13.95.

Invite nature indoors

Autumn is a season of transition, and bringing elements of the natural world inside enhances the Wabi Sabi aesthetic. Decorate with dried foliage, twisted branches, or an earthy-toned vase filled with wildflowers. Opt for neutral, muted colours – think warm beiges, soft greys, and deep greens – to create a space that mirrors the tranquil beauty of the outdoors.

 

Soft lighting for a tranquil ambience

Harsh, artificial lighting can disrupt the serene essence of Wabi Sabi. This season, set the mood with warm, diffused lighting – paper lanterns, flickering candles, or soft-toned LED bulbs. Natural light is also key, so let the autumn sun filter through sheer curtains to create a calming atmosphere.

 

Slow down and appreciate the present

Wabi Sabi isn’t just about how your home looks – it’s about how it makes you feel. Take the time to enjoy simple, everyday rituals: sip tea from a handmade cup, read a book by the window as the leaves fall, or savour a homemade meal served on rustic dishware. The heart of Wabi Sabi lies in slowing down and appreciating life’s fleeting, imperfect moments.

 

By incorporating these elements, your home can become a sanctuary of warmth, authenticity, and tranquillity – just in time for autumn’s arrival. Step away from the pursuit of perfection and instead, embrace the quiet beauty of Wabi Sabi. After all, there’s nothing more beautiful than a space that feels truly lived in.
