Dear Home Building Enthusiast,

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” as we scurry to get those last couple of gifts and stock up the fridge with ham and other Christmas lunch and dinner essentials.

Season greetings invoke a wave of inspiration, with hot, sunny weather bringing vibrant colours and activity, and it only seems to encourage more home trends with a spree of ideas and innovation for the home designer or DIYer.

Homes are seen as happy spaces, and while more look to use their home to escape daily pressures, a greater emphasis on natural resonance has been seen as the preferred choice of expression in and around the house.

Home safety awareness has also been a growing affair, particularly over the summer period as fire danger hits its peak, spurring all to follow through and tie up the last ends of their pre-summer tasks.

Enjoy the read and happy holidays!
