Our Best Alternatives to The Famous IKEA Desk at Nunawading

When redesigning your office or searching for the perfect desk to refresh your space, we know it can be hard to go past IKEA, but here at Nunawading we have some amazing alternatives that we are sure will impress you. Whether you are looking for a space saving solution, a sit stand desk or a natural wood style that withstands the test of time, we have got you covered. Nunawading Homemaker HQ offers a wide range of furniture stores to suit any design style from modern minimalist to traditional Hamptons and everything in between. The desk is the hero piece in any home office and study, so it is essential to do your research and find the best solution to fit your space and requirements. Today we are sharing with you our top recommendations for desks and suitable alternatives to the famous IKEA desk we see all over Instagram and Pinterest!

Natural Wood Desks

When designing a home office or redecorating your study, you can’t go past a traditional timber desk to create a classic and timeless look. Our favourite retailer to head to when searching for a classic design style is Provincial home Living. We love their range of timeless pieces in high-quality finishes that will last a lifetime. Natural timber pairs perfectly with design styles such as Hamptons style, Provincial Style and a Traditional design style. We love the Fletcher desk from Provincial Home Living in natural Elm wood for its substantial size and ample storage.

Minimalist Desks

Minimalist desks have grown in popularity over the past few years as we are embracing a more clutter-free and simple lifestyle. We have seen the popularity of the Micke, Alex and Malm desks at IKEA Nunawading and believe that we have some great alternatives that provide you with a similar minimalist look. Head into stores such as Adairs, Provincial Home Living and Koala Living to check out their great range of desks in a variety of styles to suit your home office. When designing in a minimalist way we suggest sticking to neutral colours for your furniture such as a simple white, a light timber or classic black. Opt for a style that has clean lines and sleek edges with minimal storage to avoid clutter building up over time. We love the Lucia desk from Provincial Home Living as it has a classic shape with clean lines and comes in the perfect shade of white to suit any minimal home office style.

Sit-stand Desks

We are spending a lot more time working from home these days and the hours sitting in front of a screen can quickly add up. Therefore, choosing an ergonomic solution and taking into consideration how much time you spend sitting down is essential when designing a home office space. Sit-stand desks are an amazing solution that have grown in popularity for good reason. They allow you to adjust your desk with a simple click of a button to transform it from a traditional sitting desk to a place where you can stand up freely and work. There are many health benefits to a sit stand desk including the relief from back pain, improved productivity, assistance in burning more calories and increased concentration.

Space-saving desks

If you are incorporating a desk setup into an existing space, have a small room to work with or are simply short on space in the home, then a compact desk is the perfect solution for you. Desks don’t need to be as oversized as we no longer need to allow for large computers, big monitors and filing cabinets to store an abundance of files. These days we can simply work with a laptop, a standard sized screen and a few desktop essentials to create an efficient and productive workspace. The Karl desk from Provincial Home Living is the perfect space saving solution as it is compact in size, yet still provides storage making use of vertical space. We also love the Anjuna desk from Adairs as it is a smaller size, yet still incorporates two large drawers for ample storage.

How To Find The Best Mattress For You At Nunawading

If you are on the hunt for the best mattress in Melbourne there is no better destination to head to that Nunawading Homemaker HQ. When the time comes to purchase a fresh, new mattress, it is worth considering all options and conducting your research to find the perfect one to suit your needs. We spend almost half our life sleeping, so it is imperative we invest in a high-quality mattress that will stand the test of time and allow us to have the rest and relaxation we desire and deserve. If you are waking up sore and stiff or you are noticing a visible dip in your mattress, it is time for an upgrade. There are a number of things to consider when purchasing a new mattress, so today we are sharing with you our top tips for selecting the perfect mattress next time you are visiting Nunawading.

Choosing The Best Mattress For Your Sleeping Posture & Position

The way you sleep matters when considering the best mattress for your needs, so let’s discuss the best sleeping position and the perfect mattress to suit you. If you are a back sleeper, your weight is evenly distributed over your body, but to provide your spine with the most support it is recommended you opt for a medium to firm mattress. Front sleepers need extra support as well and it is suggested to avoid anything too soft as this is not supportive on the pelvis. Memory foam is a great option for front sleepers as it takes the pressure off certain areas and conforms to your body shape. If you prefer to sleep on your side, it is recommended to choose a soft to medium mattress as this takes the pressure off your shoulder and hip joints and conforms to your body position much better.

How To Choose The Best Mattress For Practicality

When selecting a new mattress, we often focus on the comfort level, plushness and overall appearance of the piece. Although these aspects are very important, it is also great to consider the practicality of the mattress and how it will suit your needs long term. Be sure to check with the sales staff at our retailers to see if they recommend flipping the mattress every so often and if this is something you can commit to. If not, it may be best to select a mattress that does not need to be flipped and has a comfort, foam topper. If you’d prefer to take your mattress home yourself, live in a small space or love convenience, then a mattress in a box option may work best for you. There are many different options, so be sure to consider the practicality and moveability of the mattress to suit your needs before purchasing. Head into Bevmarks and Harbour Lane to select the perfect mattress for you.

Cleaning & Climate Factors

Maintaining your new mattress to ensure it stays in beautiful condition for its lifespan and help alleviate symptoms of asthma or allergies is essential. When changing your sheets, we suggest giving your mattress a quick vacuum on low suction to remove any unwanted debris and dust. In the event of a spill, simply use a damp, non-abrasive white cloth to remove the stain and avoid using any cleaning chemicals that may cause damage. If you are prone to allergies, it is recommended you opt for a memory foam mattress as this material has closed pores that deter dust mites. To avoid stains and sweating we suggest using organic cotton sheets for breathability and selecting a seasonal quilt insert.

Try Before You Buy

When selecting your mattress at Nunawading we suggest heading into our amazing retailers like Bevmarks, Nick Scali and Harbour Lane. Here you’ll find helpful staff that can answer all your questions on the best mattress for you, the best sleeping position, what mattress will suit your lifestyle and the best option to fit into your budget. We recommend trying your mattress out before buying and testing a few options in store to see what you find the most comfortable. Take your time when testing out the mattresses, get comfortable and lie down to see how the mattress supports your body. Try out a few different materials, thicknesses and plushness levels as you may find your preferences have changed since the last time you purchased a mattress. Be sure to ask plenty of questions as our friendly staff are there to help assist you in finding the best mattress for your needs.

Get the Look: Bedroom Colour Ideas

Colour, it’s an incredible force that can completely transform your mood and even impact your wellbeing. And when it comes to interior design, colour always reigns supreme – often dictating the latest trends and stealing the spotlight each season with one hero hue. This season we’re loving neutral tones!

Today, we dive into bedroom colour ideas with the help of Stylist, Brair Stanley. We discover how to craft a neutral colour palette for your oasis and find out how to give your bedroom the special attention it deserves. Keep reading to find out how to breathe new life into your slumber space thanks to Homemaker Nunawading HQ and all the homeware stores that call Nunawading home!

Windows to the walls

Coat your walls in neutral and muted paint – we’re talking about shades that delicately delight the senses like soft blush pink, muted blue, pastel green, and delicate beige. These hues are like the smooth operators of the paint world, adding a touch of style to your space and acting as an ideal blank canvas for the rest of your décor and furnishings.

Fine furnishings

Lust-worthy bedrooms are figuring out of dreamy furnishings that work well with your chosen colour palette – how to style a bedroom always comes down to the main pieces of furniture you have. Perhaps you already own a plush headboard or elegant armchair. Use that base piece of furniture to inspire the overall vibe for the rest of your room. For those sticking to the neutral colour palette, these tones lend themselves to organic shapes – think sculptural vases and curved furnishings. Ensure your furniture appears slightly warmer in colour compared to your walls to create depth within the space. This will make your room feel larger and lighter. We recommend checking out Koala Living for lust-worthy furniture.

Décor, décor, décor

Now onto the fun part of bedroom colour ideas – the décor! This is your chance to add pops of colour and a personal touch to the space. Explore hues that contrast with your prominent furniture pieces and give them a try. For instance, if you have a deep blue headboard, go for vibrant white bed linens to create a striking contrast. Essential décor elements for a bedroom include a cosy throw blanket to drape across your bed, stylish throw cushions, a rug to add an extra layer of comfort, and artwork, of course! If your décor items feature patterns, ensure they incorporate neutral tones to maintain consistency with the rest of the room. Remember, decorative items can be unexpected but should still tie into the neutral colour palette. Head to Provincial Home Living and Adairs for stunning décor pieces you’ll love.

There you have it, by embracing a neutral colour palette in your bedroom you can create a space that exudes interior style. From the walls to the carefully selected décor, every element plays a role in transforming your space into one you’ll love.

4 Steps to a Pinterest-worthy Bedroom

Interior-designed spaces, there’s a reason we love them! There’s no denying that interior stylists have an uncanny ability to make any space look luxe, inviting, and comfortable (especially when it comes to bedding and bed styling). They certainly know all the tricks of the trade from the latest trend interiors right down to choosing the perfect pillow. But have you ever tried to recreate a perfectly styled bed in your bedroom without the help of a stylist? The outcome is never quite the same. So, here at Homemaker Nunawading HQ, we set out on a mission to uncover the best ways to achieve that effortlessly styled, yet totally Pinterest-worthy bed. The best part? All you have to do is follow the four steps below and your room will look like it’s straight out of a magazine or in your Pinterest board in no time.

Step one: what lies beneath matters

A luxurious bedroom starts with a comfortable mattress. We’re talking about the type that with just one glance you’re already subconsciously sinking into. But if you’re not quite ready to replace your mattress then opt for a mattress topper instead. Mattress toppers are a great (and affordable) solution to add the comfort you need for a good night’s sleep whilst also helping contribute to the overall plush look synonymous with a Pinterest-worthy bedroom.

Secondly, mattress and pillow protectors are a must all year round, particularly as our weather warms up. We recommend opting for a bamboo material because it’s naturally antimicrobial, breathable, and thermal regulating. You can find a variety of options from Bed Bath N’ Table.

Step two: invest in quality sheets

Quality sheets are the hug you didn’t know you needed! Sheets not only feel great but when you purchase the right set, they’re bound to last throughout the seasons. We recommend steering clear from plain white sheets and going for a fun colour and pattern instead. Pair your bold sheets with a plain coverlet for a playful contrast that will suit any room. For those who are not a fan of ironing, we hear you! Try linen sheets from Adairs to achieve that unmade bed look that interior stylists always master.

Step three: choose the right bed cover

It’s time to roll away the heavy feather duvet and embrace a lightweight coverlet. This lighter counterpart to a duvet is cooler in the warmer weather but is still heavy enough for those who love being snuggled under a blanket. For neutral lovers, embrace a textured coverlet or quilt cover, this will add a subtle touch of luxury to your bedding. If you really want to lean into that luxury look, buy a size up in your coverlet or quilt – allowing the edge of your bedding to touch the floor.

Step four: layers and textures are a must

Finally, the ultimate way to achieve that Pinterest-worthy bedroom is with layers and textures! What better way to add more texture to your room than with throws and cushions? They’re always making an appearance on trend interiors lists. So, here’s how you can use them:

Throws

Enhance your bedding by casually draping a lightweight throw at the foot of your bed.
Avoid being too meticulous in its arrangement to achieve a more relaxed and inviting look.
Add visual intrigue to a plain knit throw by opting for one with tassels.
For a laid-back luxurious appearance consider a 100% cotton throw with raw edging

Throw cushions

You either love them or hate them, but cushions are here to stay – having become a staple in trend interiors! To create a luxurious and comfortable look be sure to mix and match cushions in similar tones and various textures. Whether you choose velvets or linens, a mix of both is sure to create a visually pleasing vignette. We recommend cushions with feather fillings to provide a plush and inviting feel.
