SAFE AS HOUSES
Kids are naturally curious and love to experiment and explore. But they also have little or no sense of danger, and that combination can spell trouble. While no home can ever be 100 per cent childproof, there are some great products and precautions which, combined with careful supervision, can dramatically lower the risk of accidents, and help create a safer, friendlier world for your little one to discover.

SUCCESSFUL EXTERIOR PALETTES
The streetscape image of your home is a window to your decorating style. First impressions created by a garden and entrance reflect the personalities of the people who live there and say so much about the way they live. When selecting a successful palette for an exterior it is important to consider the situation of your home. Look at the surrounding area for inspiration, which may come from a view, the garden, the hard landscaping or surrounding bushland or water.

DINING IN STYLE
Do you have a dinner party or special occasion coming up? A sure-fire way to impress your guests is to create beautiful place settings at your dinner table. Breaking away from traditional white china and formal silverware, try something a little more casual and less predictable – such as a setting with an oriental flavour. The idea is to combine strong lines and shapes, and layer them for maximum impact.
