Aussies are using this viral ‘colour analysis' trend to redecorate their homes: Temple & Webster

Looking to redecorate but unsure where to start? There's a viral trend that shoppers are using to create their perfect home palette: Colour Analysis.
This new quiz from Temple and Webster is based on the popular trend that's all over social media, which helps to remove the guesswork from decorating.
You can now find out if you're a winter — the 'bold visionary', or more of a summer, an 'easy-going escapist' which will provide you with your ideal colour palette for the home.
Taking the stress out of placing an online order, Temple & Webster's quiz allows you to browse efficiently, filtering through the many products they have online.
Using the filters available, you can select your favourite colours, textures and materials. Browsing through everything from furniture to home decor, it's never been so easy to redecorate.
Giving Aussies the confidence to style their homes with personality, I was keen to put this new trend to the test and find out the perfect colour scheme for my apartment.
The Colour Analysis at Temple and Webster took just two minutes, and by the end of it I knew exactly how to decorate my lounge and dining room.
The results? My colour palette is summer.
Here's what it said: 'You are drawn to tranquil spaces, where soft textures invite calm. Subtle hues bring the outside in, with natural stone textures, oversized sofas, oak furniture and rattan evoking coastal simplicity.
So I went about browsing the site for all types of decor with beige, browns and cream as my go-to colourways.
As for textures; rattan, linen and pops of marble were top of the list.
If you're in the market for a new sofa, the Border 3 Seater Sofa with Chaise is the perfect choice.
Whether you're an 'easy-going' summer colour palette like me, or a 'thoughtful' autumn, there's three different colourways to choose from to suit your trend; natural, olive green or stone.
Easy to assemble, comfortable yet supportive with a soft to medium firmness, the chaise makes the perfect nook for reading and cosying up on a cold winter's evening.
Now that I've got my furniture sorted, I'm on the hunt for matching decor additions to complete the 'summer' look for my home.
Here's everything I'm adding to my cart:
Border 3 Seater Sofa with Chaise, $1,899
38cm Rowan Travertine Table Lamp, $69.99
Rowe Boucle Wool-Blend Scalloped Rug, from $129.99
Hollie Coffee Table, $199.99
Kokomo Rattan Bar Cart, $499.99

Five of the best self-tanning products for a streak-free glow all year round

Pale limbs this winter? While we're bundling up to brave the cold, one surprise outfit switch could leave your arms or legs suddenly exposed. If you're looking to cheat your way to a sun-kissed glow, there are plenty of self-tanning formulas on the market that will bronze your body in no time at all. From streak-free express tans to scent-free gradual moisturisers, there are more ways than ever to fake a 'just came back from Europe' look. Whether you prefer an instant tan or a fast-drying mousse, Best Picks have rounded up the top-rated faux glows on the market for a natural-looking tan. 1. Bondi Sands Ultra Express Tanning Foam, $27.95 at Bondi Sands We get it — sometimes tanning can take a bit of effort — but Bondi Sands' Ultra Express Tanning Foam is here to save the day. Perfect for achieving a natural glow in as little as an hour, the game-changing formula features a world-first ColourLock Accelerator technology to develop a warm, rich colour. 2. Bali Body Instant Tan Cream, $25.95 at Priceline Chances are you've already heard about Bali Body's formulas, because they are just that good. One product we can't stop raving about here at Best Picks is the Instant Tan Cream, a nourishing cream-like texture that goes on just like a moisturiser. There's one key difference — it adds an instant tanning colour, making it great for applying last minute before heading out the door. 3. Three Warriors Hydrabronze Tanning Drops, $39 at Adore Beauty Approved by none another than Sonia Kruger, Three Warriors is another tanning brand loved by Aussies across the country. The latest launch to join their impressive faux-glow lineup is the Hydrabronze Tanning Drops, a skincare infused formula that not only adds a post-holiday bronze, but moisturises and nourishes at the same time. 4. Coco & Eve Sun-Kissed Gradual Tanning Lotion, $42 at The Iconic For those who tend to steer clear of a mousse formula, a gradual tanning lotion will give you a natural bronze, without the fuss. Coco & Eve's Gradual Tanning Lotion is non-sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin, slowly developing a subtle shade of colour that lasts up to four days. 5. St Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist, $34.99 at Priceline If your face is looking a little laclustre, you could be in need of a touch of faux glow to add a spring to your step. While many traditional tanning formulas are designed for the body rather than the face, St Tropez Face Mist is the perfect pick-me-up. Infused with 100 per cent natural tanning agents and hibiscus agents, simply spray a few pumps onto clean, dry skin.

The three interiors trends you'll be seeing in homes across Australia this year

When it comes to homewares, for a long time in Australia it's been all about classic neutrals, white and a light, bright, coastal feel. But those with a penchant for something with a little more personality will love the fact that Australia's largest online furniture and homewares retailer Temple & Webster is seeing a shift towards something a little more colourful and bold. In the store's very first 'trend report', Temple & Webster have found three major design movements set to transform Aussie homes: Mix and Max, Past Forward and Sumptuous Sanctuaries. The report, informed by millions of customer interactions and shopping behaviours, identifies a significant shift towards bold self-expression, nostalgic comfort and wellness-focused living spaces. 'We're seeing Australians become more confident in their design choices, moving away from safe matchy-matchy interiors and towards spaces that truly reflect their personality,' Director of Insights and Trends Lucy Sutherland tells Best Picks. 'At the same time, there's a strong desire for homes that actively support well-being and provide respite from our fast-paced world.' Below, Best Picks reveals the three trends set to dominate Aussie homes, and the top buys to invest in for each. Mix and Max The first trend set to dominate spaces has been dubbed Mix and Max. Taking inspiration from high fashion's maximalist approach, the Mix and Max trend embraces bold colour clashes, unexpected pattern collaborations and sculptural furniture pieces. Think wavy furniture (increased by 29 per cent), boucle beds (increased by 286 per cent) and patterned accessories (increased by 23 per cent). As a lover of cosy cottage style, I am a big fan of mix and max as a concept. My recent investment, the Braden Coffee Table (currently $699), is the perfect epitome of the style, thanks to its patterned top, mosaic finish and gold base. But there is plenty of inspiration on Temple & Webster, like the Paloma Boucle Bed (from $599) or the stunning Darvin Striped Armchair (currently $309.99). One of the store's most popular Mix and Max buys of the moment is the Lilly Lamp (currently $89.99), which has a beautiful glossy base and natural raffia shade. Another top seller is the wavy Milos Mirror (currently $299.99), which makes the perfect modern infusion to any space. Past Forward The second trend set to dominate has been dubbed 'Past Forward', and this reimagines 70s and 80s aesthetics throguh a contemporary lens. In this vein, merlot-coloured furniture sales have increased by 32 per cent, while searches for walnut timber pieces have risen by 95 per cent and in particular walnut coffee tables (115 per cent). Top sellers in this capacity include the Torsby Desk ($349.99) and the Marilyn Merlot Coffee Table ($599). Others are also loving the Orlena Framed Velvet Cushions ($39.99), which are available in a series of colours including olive green, cinnamon, neutral and blue. The Bahamas Bar Cart ($299.99) is also a perfect nod to the past that shoppers are rushing to snap up. Sumptuous Sanctuaries Wellness has been growing and growing in recent times, and it shows no signs of abating any time soon. With this in mind, the Sumptuous Sanctuaries homewares trend is all about creating luxury restorative spaces through natural materials, curved shapes and coloured palettes. Research uncovered by Temple and Webster uncovered that some 57 per cent of Aussies feel the need to create a reflective space at home. Swivel armchairs, for instance, have increased in searches by 185 per cent, while marble and travertine product sales have increased by 25 per cent. Highlights on the Temple & Webster website right now include the store's Viola sconces ($139.99), the on-sale Lennox side table ($179.99) and the Klein Dining Chairs ($249.99). 'These trends reflect broader cultural shifts,' Lucy Sutherland concludes. 'Mix and max reflects our growing confidence in personal expression, Past Forward taps into our need for emotional comfort during uncertain times and Sumptuous Sanctuaries responds to the wellness movement and our understanding that our environment directly impacts our mental health.'
