This unique combination blends the dragon’s strength and vitality with the qualities of wood, symbolising expansion and flexibility. As we welcome this auspicious year, it offers a splendid opportunity to infuse our homes with vibrancy and harmony, turning them into serene sanctuaries that align with the Wood Dragon’s attributes.

Elevating Renovations: JMJ Interiors’ Deep Dive approach to Design, Decoration, and Furnishing

We can all agree that renovating is a tricky business, which is one reason that it is best left to the experts. The number one thing we see our clients forget to include when we first discuss project budget is the allocation for the finishing touches – you know the decoration style and accessories that are usually uppermost in your mind when you start to think about renovating… the furniture, the window coverings the artwork, and of course the décor pieces that show the world your style. What is interesting is that this oversight is common for both seasoned renovators and eager homeowners alike, no one is immune!

Tropical living and embracing our Northern Territory identity

Here in the Northern Territory, we love to keep our homes and interiors fresh and up-to-date with interior trends, but at the same time because we don’t have the huge fluctuation between hot and cold weather that the southern states of Australia know so well, we can find ourselves with same-same décor all year round.
We can bring interest and variety to our homes throughout the northern Australia tropical seasons by incorporating seasonal trends and elements into our décor. Even if we don’t get the winters that the southern states do, we can change up our soft furnishings to change the energy and mood of the space.
