As humans we have an inherent need to remain connected to nature as an important aspect to our health (physical and mental) as well as our general wellbeing. We could rattle on until the cows come home about the health benefits of using indoor plants in our interior decorating and design, but using indoor plants and greenery isn’t just good for our lungs and mood it also makes our homes look good!

Using greenery and plants in our interiors is so important that there is a whole area of interior design dedicated to it! Have you heard of biophilic design? Biophilia means ‘love of nature’ and focuses on our innate attraction to nature. Biophilic design ties our inherent need to connect with nature in our modern built environments. 

This month we’re taking a look at how you can work some biophilic design principles into your home décor with some thoughtful homewares inclusions like amazing pots, indoor plants you can buy online, and of course how you can use some of our wall decals as the perfect backdrop!

Hand-painted pots

The pot you use for your indoor plants is just as important as the plant itself. Pots are the décor to the natural element of the plant!

Honey & Ivy have a gorgeous selection of pots they paint by hand from their home studio. The duo spend hours (sometimes days!) painting each pot!

If bright, colourful and inspired by 80s motifs is your thing, you’ll fall in love with Gabby Loves Art’s hand-painted pots! Artwork that balances the discordance between chaos and control.

Mowgli Studio have a great collection of handmade pots and planters, and they also sell We The Wild plant care products – we’ve got to keep our indoor plants healthy too! Pictured above are Mowgli's stunning Sandy Stone Pots.

We are loving Jones & Co.’s range of fun and eclectic pots and planters! There is something for just about everyone’s décor in their latest range!

Super fun and for a planter that’s different you really must check out Living Work of Heart’s range! Seriously fun planters! You’ll also find Living Work of Heart’s range in our Artisans’ Nest store.

Indoor plants online

Local nurseries and garden stores don’t always have a great range of potted indoor plants for us to choose from, but looking online we have SO many more choices!

Interior Jungle have a huge range of indoor plants, including pet friendly plants which are important if you have pets that might be tempted to nibble or sniff anything that looks interesting!

Offshoot offer a carefully curated and considered collection of indoor plants and botanical accessories to enhance your wellbeing and bring joy to your homes and interior spaces. Well worth a looksie!

Kokedama and crystal air plants make beautiful additions to your indoor plant collections. The Indoor Oasis has a stunning collection and we’re sure you’ll find it difficult to choose which you love most!

Adding a ‘greenery’ backdrop

Ok, we know we’re biased here, but our wall decals make a GREAT backdrop to your indoor plants! What you need to keep in mind when considering using Vinyl Designs wall decals in your home: they are removable (great for renters or those who find it difficult to commit), most of our wall decals are available in any of our 28 decorator colours, and if you can’t find something you love (we’ll be surprised!) in our readymade range we love to discuss custom made options too!

Our Tropical Leaves wall decal is one of our most popular wall decals for using as a backdrop to an indoor plant collection. The huge, lush leaves in green add greenery height and depth to your display, or you could choose a rich magenta or gold to add interest beyond the plants!

If you’re looking at something less tropical our Maple Branch wall decal looks very elegant with it’s leaving softly scattered across your wall. Very pretty!

New to our range is our Calla Lily Flower wall decal which looks absolutely amazing … imagine what a spectacular display this wall decal would make in magenta or lime green!

Maybe you’d rather add a quote as a backdrop to your indoor oasis?! Something ‘planty’ or a quote that is motivating or inspiring? We’ve got readymade quotes in our online store (or shop with us in person at Artisan’s’ Nest).

Vinyl Design Monstera Tropical Leaf wall decal

By golly, we could go on forever about indoor plants and how biophilic design principles help us to weave the beauty and benefits of air-purifying plants into our interiors!

Whether you create an eye-catching vertical garden wall by hanging plants in planter boxes that create a green canopy effect overhead, low-maintenance moss panels, or a few simple potted plants placed strategically close to a source of natural light, they all excellent ways to add health benefits to our homes and living spaces!

This month is all about YOU and letting your creative inner self learn something new, and have fun while you're at it! If there's one thing that we all learnt in 2020 it's that we're a little bit more crafty than we thought we were ... DIY crafts, handmade, and dreaming of makers studios! 

Our Artisans' Nest shop in Newtown now has a makers studio where each month we'll be welcoming some very talented craftisans and artisans to share their skills and craft.

Have you ever wondered about trrying your hand at watercolour painting, quilling, or brushlettering? Maybe crochet is something you watched your nanna do but you were never able to master? Jewellery making is always popular, and how awesome will it be to say "I made it!" when your friends compliment you on your fab new accessories?! 

Each weekend in May we've planned a different workshop in the studio at Artisan's Nest - make a commitment to give yourself a few hours each weekend in May (at least once!) to learn a new skill! All the materials you need for the May workshops are provided, so really all you need to do is book your seat and turn up. 

If you're looking for a really special gift for the mum in your life ... here it is! The PERFECT fun gift that you could do together and that's something that makes it an extra special gift! Which of our May workshops do you think your mum will enjoy most?!

We only have a limited number of places for each workshop so it is essential that you book in ASAP to secure your seat at the table.

It's NO secret that we love bunnies, and Easter is a chance for us to bring our love for bunnies legitimately to the décor space! Easter is a time for family gatherings around the table in a setting that's generally more relaxed than Christmas, the Easter table speaks to those of us who long for pretty, delicate settings (and bunnies!).

Whatever your religious beliefs Easter is a time for relaxation and reflection. A few days off (for most of us) and the opportunity to catch up on time with family, friends, and spending time at home (or camping if that's your 'thing'). For many Australian families Easter 2021 will be extra special as last year much of the country were unable to visit loved ones because of Covid-19 restrictions. This year shall be different!

We've found some lovely bunny themed 'Easter' décor pieces that would look great as year 'round décor, not just for one weekend of the year!

Pottery Barn have released their own watercolour design range of Floral Bunny salad plates (set of 4) which we absolutely love! They will look just as lovely as wall art as they will on your Easter table! (psst they're also on sale right now!)

If your taste is for something less colourful, Bed Bath n' Table have the stunning Morgan & Finch Etched Bunny Dining range available in blue, pink or yellow. (also on sale right now!)

Dalisay by Daizy's pair of Bunny Rabbit Pot Plant Sitters are SUPER cute and would look as much at home on your planters in the garden as they would on your Easter dining table perched over a dish of chocolate eggs!

Provincial Home Living's Bunny Bookends are not just cute, they're practical too! Made from resin they're lightweight and a very stylish addition to your office, living room, or bedroom.

How pretty is this delicate Glass Bunny Dish from Gorgeous Gift Lines?! In the bathroom to hold trinkets or in the living keeping the chocolates safe, this bunny is begging to be yours!

Of course in our Vinyl Living and Vinyl Design ranges we've got bunnies, bunnies, and more bunnies - and if we may say so just quietly, they make fantastic chocolate-free Easter gifts!

Our Sleepy Bunny wall decal or Paper Storage Bag are absolutely perfect for a nursery, while our Fluffy Bunnies wall decal pair (available in any of our 28 decorator colours) is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face!

In our homewares range if you're looking for a bunny in a top hat or a bunny with a flower crown ... we've got both in canvas tote bags or cushions!

We hope our bunny-love has inspired you to think beyond Easter décor this year and add a bunny rabbit or two to your home's style all year 'round!

Whether you are a homeowner or a renter, decorating your children’s bedrooms is always fun, but of course if you’re renting do generally have far fewer options. Kid’s tastes are so changeable – dinosaurs are the must have one day, then hot air balloons the next! – so permanent interior decorating is always a difficult decision for both homeowner and renter!

Less permanent solutions are the smartest way to go! We know we’re super biased here but we also know that our removable wall decals are the number one choice for many parents (and professional interior decorators and designers) as a practical decorating choice that will bring colour to a space, be educational or inspiring, and also tie all of the other décor elements together to create a room that your kids will love!

There are quite a few different ways you can use our wall decals and they will stick to just about any flat, smooth surface so think beyond walls to mirrors, windows, and doors. (if you want to test the adhesiveness of our vinyl on any ‘unusual’ surface let us know and we’ll send you a test piece)

Instead of going down the route of wallpaper which is a permanent finish, you can use our wall decals to create an amazing feature wall that your kids will love … and you could even get them to ‘help’ you create it which will give them a real sense of creative ownership over their new room too!

Our top tip for selecting the wall decals for your children’s room is to choose a design that will last a while so that your kids get a few year’s enjoyment from them. Mixing a fad design such as ballerinas or dinosaurs in with a classic always in fashion design such as stars or dots is a great way to get even more year’s life out of your wall decals – simply remove the fashion decal and replace with the next fad or add another classic design into the mix to achieve a whole new look.

Study and play areas especially for inquisitive and creative young minds can very easily be created using wall decals like our world map, chalkboards, or animal themed designs.

Inspirational quotes are always a popular wall décor idea for all ages! We have some great quotes in our readymade quotes range that can be ordered in any one of our 28 decorator colours.  If you can’t find a quote that is just right for your home, let us know - we LOVE working with our clients to create custom wall decals that are special and unique just for you!

You might be wondering just how ‘non-permanent’ our wall decals are? Well, they are non-permanent … we use vinyl of the highest quality for our wall decals (and the backing for our fabric wall decals) so there will be no sticky residue left behind when you remove them. How simple is that?!

Decorating kids’ rooms can be so much fun, but making sure the décor lasts the distance, and is as changeable as kid’s tastes are renowned for being, is pretty important to remember too. We’ve got you (and your walls!) covered!

Once the hustle bustle and frivolity of the Christmas season is over here in Australia we move into ‘holiday mode’.  Think long summer days, barbeques, family visits, relaxing afternoons in the garden…

Take the time to prepare your outdoor areas for the entertaining and relaxation season (aka summer!).  Having a restful and enjoyable outdoor space doesn’t just make entertaining easier, it also gives us a much-needed energy boost and restoration to our senses.

So, right now you’re thinking “I need to know how to create a summer haven, I need one in my life!”!  Here are our six tips for creating a summer home entertaining area that you will not want to leave!

Lots of places to sit

You’ll need to make sure you’ve got adequate seating for your guests and keeping a store of folding chairs in the shed is a great idea for this. 

You also want to make sure you’ve got choices of outdoor seating for your family.  Table seating for dining (or working!), a couple of timber or iron benches through the garden for moments you just want to sit and contemplate, and comfortable outdoor chairs for reading or simply resting.

Quiet places for reading

It’s not all about entertaining during the summer, we also need time-out to relax, enjoy a ‘nanna-nap’, read that novel we got for Christmas, or to simply daydream.

Create a quiet corner in the garden with screening plants (planted or in pots), timber or metal privacy screens, or even a gazebo to give shelter as well as privacy.

Bring in some colour and décor

Bright outdoor cushions give an instant “voomph” to your plain outdoor furniture.  Make sure you choose outdoor fabrics as they’re treated to resist fading and moisture.

Rugs are a simple way to define a space, and outdoor rugs are no exception.  A rug under your outdoor table and chairs marks that area for eating, a different rug for your casual chairs and couches marks that area for relaxing and chatting. 

Crockery, jugs, and drinking glasses in bright, fun colours are a must to have on hand for summer entertaining.  If you’ve got a suitable undercover area why not pickup a dresser that can take pride of place on your deck to hold your new entertaining pieces!

Fun and funky plant pots add a touch of whimsy and personality!  Look for different sizes and shapes – mix your new pots with plainer pots for extra impact.

Painting your fence, verandah posts, or furniture is an instant freshen up for your outdoor and garden.  It also adds value to your property!

Bring your garden to life

Longer sunny days mean more time to spend in the garden.  Weeding, pruning, and adding mulch makes any garden look fresh and alive.  After you’ve done a tidy up do a quick assessment of spaces that need to be filled and take a trip to the local garden centre to pickup a few new plantings.

Lighting

One of the fun things about summer entertaining being able to comfortably spend long evenings outside enjoying great company and creating memories.  But good lighting is important!  A floodlight might be essential for security and safety in some areas, but softer lighting creates ambience and a party atmosphere.

Fairy lights and string lights are perfect for lighting up the garden.  Fairy lights drapes through an ornamental tree or shrub can look stunning and dramatic.  String lights are available in all sorts of light style and shape – string them along a verandah or wall to define a space.

Fire pit

A summer night without a fire pit?  We think not!  A fire pit can be used for cooking on, toasting marshmallows, keeping warm on a cooler evening, or year ‘round to extend your outdoor entertaining area’s season!

No-one is really ‘difficult to buy for’ if you take a little time to work it through!

Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or any other occasion that ‘requires’ a gift, there are always people on your list who are ‘difficult to buy for’. But are they really? We say not!

So, what’s the trick you may well be wondering! We’ve put together a list of ideas for unique gifts and tips for finding out what that difficult person would love to receive.

Make the gift itself an experience!

If you’re gifting a voucher or gift card wrap it in many boxes hiding a sweet treat, jokes, or funny tasks (like hop on one leg while drinking a glass of water) between random layers. Guaranteed by the time they get to the end everyone will be in fits of laughter! Or hide a smaller gift inside a stuffed toy … where ‘surgery’ is the only way to extract it!

When selecting a voucher or gift card … think small. Small businesses that is! Supporting a small business over a larger chain is a great way to share the Christmas love even further that the gift!

Literally give an experience!

You could choose a Red Balloon or CherryGift voucher where small businesses benefit, or you could be more select and gift a voucher to a special destination or activity. Fancy an afternoon with the alpacas at Quentin Park Alpaca Farm or maybe hang out with superheroes and sporting legends at Madame Tussauds?! A voucher or membership to a small local cinema also ticks just about every box.

If the venue you’re gifting an experience to doesn’t offer vouchers, ask if you can purchase undated tickets or create your own voucher with a note that you’ll purchase tickets online for the date they choose.

What are their interests?

Ok, so you may think you don’t know this person well enough to find something they’ll love, but take two minutes and make a list of everything that you do know about them … what colours do they wear, do they wear funky jewellery, where do they go on holiday, do they play or watch sport, have you seen them reading? If you’re still stuck … stalk them on the socials and see what you can find out about them!

After making a list you’ll likely find the gift ideas were right in front of you all the time.

Let them live in the past!

Have they recently lost a loved one (person or pet)? A portrait or special framed photo is a thoughtful gift. Let them relive their childhood … quirky 90s snacks and a Pokémon might be just what your 30s aged person will love! Or, for a person in their 70s or 80s rock n’ roll hits of the 50s could hit the mark!

Make them something!

Whether it’s a random piece of art, a knitted scarf, a potted plant, or a box of baked treats, if you’ve taken the time to make something special that speaks volumes! Put some thought into it though don’t just whack a pile of dried pasta on a paper plate and call it art!

Something for their home.

Whether it’s something small like a fun decal for their laptop or light switch, or a Theia table lamp by Mathias Hahn for Marset everyone appreciates something special that shows you put some thought into their gift. Do they cook? One of our kitchen themed wall decals could be top of their wish list but they didn’t even realise it! Do they love to read? Crashmat make fun beanbags that are designed for comfort! Have they just renovated or moved home? House name tiles by Little House in the Valley make a beautiful and thoughtful gift!

Be charitable in their name!

Think of something your person is passionate about, and then make a donation in their name. Are they a dog lover? Donate to an animal rescue. Are they passionate about children’s welfare, indigenous cultural survival, defeating poverty, social justice issues, heritage preservation … and the list goes on. If you don’t already have a charity in mind, The Good Cause Co. are an independent ‘for-purpose’ company that evaluate and list high quality Australian charities

We hope that you’ve found inspiration and ideas for the perfect gift for that person you thought was ‘difficult to buy for’. We’re sure that you’ve at least found one or two ideas for gifts for yourself as well!

This year Australia Post have advised that posting your Christmas gifts (or posting anything) should be done earlier than usual and delivery times will take longer.  This means that if you’re posting gifts for Christmas birthdays, or a “just because…” gift you’ll need to get your skates on to not just purchase the gift, but to get it mailed.

So, what is a good gift to post and what is possibly best to leave off the gift list?

Cost-wise sending letter sized parcels will be more friendly on your wallet than a parcel and the Australia Post size regulations for letters is a ‘package’ that weighs less than 500g, has a rectangular shape, is not larger than a B4 envelope, and is no thicker than 20mm.  This gives you lots of options for posting small items including books, wall decals (we’ve got you covered with those!), jewellery, stationery gifts, or even chocolates or sweets.  Of course, you can send larger items as a parcel, which will cost you a bit more but with the new standardised parcel rates (up to 22kg within Australia, or up to 20kg for international post) you can easily choose lighter gives and send more of them for less than you would have been paying previously to post!

Wall decals (of course!) – our wall decals and wall stickers are a perfect gift idea for anyone!  You could choose from one of our ready-made wall decals, or we can work with you to create something personalised and unique.  We’ve got a great range of colours from metallics to pastels to brights so we’re certain you’ll find just the right colour to suit your design and décor!  Our wall decals are made from a super high-quality vinyl that will leave no sticky marks or residue and will stay put on just about any flat and smooth surface (like magic!).

We’ve also got our Vinyl Living range of homewares that are light to post – cushion covers, tea-towels, and canvas bags and pouches of all sizes.  We’re sure that you could find something for every person on our list in our Vinyl Design and Vinyl Living online shops!

Handmade leather goods are a popular choice for people of all ages.  Dear Dagger intertwine craftsmanship, colour and premium leather to produce timeless, versatile and gender-neutral products such as wallets, pouches, coin holders, keychains, laptop sleeves and more.

Francisca Rendic’s handcrafted jewellery is made from the heart and so it makes sense that gifting such beautiful pieces is a gift from the heart too.  Francisca creates meaningful jewellery; each piece embedded with strength and energy.

Koskela always have a beautiful array of gift ideas for everyone (so good it’s hard to give them away!).  One product in their range that struck us as a great ‘feel-good’ gift idea is the Life Cykel Bee Pollination Grow Kit.  Saving the world, bee by bee!

And now for something sweet… Loco Love Chocolates Holy Cacao Hot Chocolate looks amazing in it’s packaging and tastes DIVINE!  What a perfect gift and oh so sweet!

If you’re needing to shop in person and have a penchant for Aussie handmade, we’d love to see you at our Artisans’ Nest popup shop in Newtown!  Our store is open from 10am daily and we’ll be at our 216 King Street Newtown (NSW) store until the end of the year … you don’t need to gift shop!

So, there you have it, just a few gift ideas for posting to your loved ones this gift-giving season.  We know there are literally thousands of other ideas for lightweight gifts to post but we hope we’ve given you a few ideas to get your shopping started!

Righty-o it is ‘only’ September and we’re talking Christmas … we can hear you; you think we’re crazy! But really, this year has been all sorts of crazy so we’re kinda just goin’ with the flow…!

One of our first September sales through our online shop was a Christmas Tree wall decal, so we do think we’ve got good reason to start thinking Christmas décor and gifts.

Christmas 2020 is going to come at us with a rush … after months of social distancing this Christmas is going to be like none we’ve experienced before so there is absolutely no time like right now to start getting ready! Let’s talk wall decals for decorating and gift giving with Christmas in mind … after all, wall decals, decorating and Christmas are a few of our most favourite things!

Planning wall-y (heehee) good Christmas décor

When most people think of Christmas decorating their mind immediately goes to untangling the Christmas lights or dragging out the boxes of kindy-made decorations that you’re obligated to hang for the next 50 or so years. Yes, those sweet Christmas traditions will linger and can wait until at least mid-November, but we’re touting the Christmas wall decal as the next best thing in ways to bring Christmas cheer to your home right now!

From fat Santas, to Christmas trees, to gold snowflakes we’ve got your walls (windows, mirrors, any smooth surface!) covered!

Our wall decals range includes so many different options for traditional Christmas décor, Aussie-inspired Christmas décor, or choose your own unique Christmas theme that’ll bring you and your family some much-needed 2020 holiday cheer!

Here are some of our favourite wall decals to create a Christmas-inspired home.

Christmas Tree wall decals: we’ve got six trees in our range, and of course your tree doesn’t need to be in a ‘traditional Christmas’ colour … we’ve got 28 great colours for you to choose from!

Our jolly Santa wall decal is as well rounded as you’d expect him to be! Picture Santa over your kitchen bench as you bake up a storm of Christmas treats!

Christmas Baubles wall decal or the Christmas Balls wall decal look great over your mantle or a shelf.

Snowflakes wall decal and Mini Snowflakes wall decals look great either on their own or mixed up together to create a snowflake dream.

The Christmas Wreath wall decal looks so festive on a window or front door.

Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle! Our Stars wall decal set comes with 40 stars in varying sizes and with so many colours to choose from they don’t need to be just part of your Christmas décor.

It might look like you’ve gone dotty but our Dots wall decals and Mini Dots wall decals do make a fun combo and a little different to the ‘traditional’ Christmas shapes!

We LOVE doing custom wall decals too! Does your family have a favourite Christmas quote, or maybe you’ve got a Christmas design of your own that you’d like to have made up as a wall decal? Get in touch with us and let’s see if we can make this happen for you!

Why decorate with Vinyl Design’s wall decals?

All of our wall decals are removable and don’t leave any sticky residue or mess which make them perfect for anyone who loves to switch up their décor, and also for renters who love to decorate.

Wall decals for gifting

All of our wall decals are perfect for sending overseas for gifts … they’re light-weight and pack down flat which is a plus for being one of the most postage-friendly options. We all know it’s a given that postage services around the world are moving much slower at the moment than usual and with that in mind getting organised with your overseas gifts early this year is a very good idea! We offer free shipping Australia-wide so getting your list together for décor AND gifts from across the Vinyl Design and Vinyl Living ranges means you can get everything sorted at once!

Our new fabric wall decals are here and they are so beautiful … have you checked them out yet? Fabric wall decals are one of the latest and increasingly popular ways to create an interiors space that you’ll be so excited to share on your Instagram! We know that you’ll have so much fun creating a magical kids interior space using our new fabric wall decals for inspiration.

First up, a bit of info about our new fabric wall decals because we know that you’ll need the low-down so you can start to plan your own interior decorating project! They are made high quality adhesive polyester fabric and they can be installed on virtually any flat surface (indoor and out) and then removed and reused many times over leaving no adhesive residue. Which means that you can create an amazing interior wall space even if you’re renting or you need to make your decorating less permanent!

Our fabric wall decal range has launched with five designs: summer watermelons, planes, rainbows, ballerinas, and dinosaurs.

What space would you create? We’re thinking a reading corner is the ideal stay at home space where kids can escape to dream and explore the world beyond the front gate in a stay at home kind of way!

Every reading corner needs: a place to sit and dream, a place to store toys to join your little one on their literary journeys, and of course a bookshelf for hours upon hours of bookish pleasure!

For our rainbows reading corner we found these awesome Belle & Co. storage case sets available from Hip Kids! They come in pink or white and are perfect for storage blankets, out of season clothing, or toys. And … they are such a great size that they make great side or bedside tables too!
