Decorating

Small changes can make a HUGE difference.....

Welcome to our new Jedo's Decorating page.

In order to change the ambience of your home, there is no need to go and spend waves of money. We find that the simplest changes can make the biggest difference to your home.

Here are just a few ideas to help you along the way....

Create a mood with paint

Change the overall look and feel of a room with a simple, budget-friendly paint revival. Colour direction this season takes its cue from the natural hues of blues and greens abundant to the eye from the beaches to the bush and conveys a sense of calm and serenity. For an expansive and airy effect, paint the ceiling a few shades lighter than the walls.

Cover it up for a change

Transform a tired room instantly by covering pieces with chair covers, throws and cushions. With a throw or some type of loose-fitting cover, the style lends a relaxed, breezy feel, while a tailored cover provides a more sophisticated silhouette. For low-maintenance, family-friendly lounging, you may like to choose from our 100% cotton fabric cushions that can be very easily tossed into the wash, with out any need to worry how often you do it. Best of all, if you get tired of the look, simply remove a throw - no re-upholstery required.

Save $$ on cushions

Rather than spending money purchasing the new season’s colours in cushions, we at Jedo’s have the option to purchase the cushion covers without inserts. Save money, save space on storing unwanted inserts and update your seaside rooms with the season’s newest and exciting colours available at Jedo’s.

Revive with rugs

There is no need to go to the expense of new flooring in your home. A great rug which covers a substantial area can very easily put a new look underfoot without the cost. If your looking for versatility, then why not keep two styles of rugs on hand. This way you can swap them according to the season. How about opting for long-lasting floor coverings in natural materials such as jute or sisal for spring and summer, and a plush material in a warm hue for those cold winter months.

Enhance with accents

Have you thought about adding a little flair to your rooms with a few well-placed nautical accessories? Surround a window with shell tiebacks or drapery rods featuring star fish or seahorses. Stick with accessories in colours reminiscent of the shore (think sandy browns, aqua blues, or sunset-inspired reds) and natural materials such as rattan or seashells to give your interiors year-round coastal appeal.

Upgrade your hardware

Why not add an unexpected twist to your furniture. Replace doorknobs or add new cabinet and drawer pulls in your kitchen.

Let the light shine in

Have you ever noticed that a poorly lit room, makes a potentially beautiful room seem bland. This is where careful planning always helps. We have found that the best rooms have layers of light - overhead fixtures and a few floor or table lamps scattered around your home.

Make your home inviting

Accessorising is just as important outdoors as it is in. Why not try to improve your home’s friendly factor with a welcome or ‘Aloha’ mat, or hang a hammock to invite guests to lounge in comfort.

When entertaining, maintain your colour theme with complementary serving bowls and dishes.

Remember home decorating is all about creating an individual look and mood that best compliments who you are!
