Fabric Fusion

Fabrics, colour and decorating - that's what we love!!!!

Fabrics to finish, trims to tantalise, bits and bobs from here, 

there and everywhere.  

What excitement, what a flourish....Everyone loves it!!!!

Yes, Miraje Home has just expanded through to the "cafe" next door, affectionately known as "cafe 401".  We have relocated the fabric library from the back area of Miraje Home to its new home, highly visible on Bloomfield Street.  An impressive fabric and furnishing showroom has evolved, behind, our new workroom is buzzing with creative activity.

Now, with plenty of room we are in heaven, wrapped up in hundreds of fabric samples, metres of fabric, extraordinary cushions and endless decorating solutions.  The reality of bespoke home couture is at your fingertips.  Selected WILSON Fabrics are now at greatly reduced prices.

We would love you to stop by and see our new space, and let us help you bring 'Material pursuits' to life!

Decorate with a Stripe!

Share a dramatic decorating moment with a Stripe! – 

All you need to transform a room from “drab to fab”.

  

Versatile to the core, this workhorse simple pattern combines effortlessly with solids, florals and other graphics - enhancing classic, modern and whimsical decor.  

It is just a matter of how you use the stripes.

Add visual interest to all themes and styles.

With their strong visual interest, stripes have the power to reshape a space.  Vertically orientated stripes will draw the eye up, creating the illusion of more height.  On the other hand, horizontal stripes will encourage a side to side gaze, widening a room.

A Chevron Striped cushion creates a focal point on a sofa.

  

What colours do you use?.  The answer lies in the final effect you desire.  Create classic drama with bold contrasting colours in wide uniform stripes, e.g – black and white wallpaper will provide an impressive backdrop.  

For an elegant appeal, tone on tone stripes (almost monochromatic) will be more subtle.  Add a playful, whimsical vibe with multi-coloured thin stripes (e.g bright and beautiful in reds, oranges and limes).  However, take care here as too many colours can be rather jarring.

Black and white wallpaper makes a bold statement

 A striped accent can harmonise a busy space.  As this is a simple pattern, stripes interact with plains and other prints to ground the organic lines and unify the hues of the prints and plains.

A cheerful striped rug adds visual charm and unifies a theme.

 Consider using stripes on walls (via wallpaper or paint), rugs, lampshades, cushions, blinds, curtains, crockery, tablecloths, napery, occasional chairs.  A little goes a long way here so be careful not to overdo your enthusiasm.

Retro stripes add a funky vibe to these simple chairs!

Using stripes in napery brings your concept to life.

Of course we all know how fabulous stripes are in our outdoor entertainment areas (i.e – Warwick range).

With the amazing range of Warwick fabrics including choices such as Bondi, Wakiki & Calippo - your outdoor space is only limited by your imagination!  The Warwick range (and many others) available at Miraje Home. 

A blue and white stripe draws the eye.

Bold stripes and patterns add visual interest without overwhelming a room.

Thin or thick, vertical or horizontal, painterly or precise, soft and neutral, bright or bold, stripes are sure to refresh your space.

Cool Summer Decorating

The decorations are all packed away and goodness its bare!! 

Well, Happy New Year and Happy New Look!  

Queensland summer decorating is all about creating cool, 

open spaces where the living is easy.  

Here are three summer themes.....

Gorgeous fresh summer colours to brighten up your home.

 Think fresh cool sorbet colours - pastel and watermelon pink, mint and lime green, pale blues and aquas, with a white background these soft colours look so refreshing on these HOT days.  Feature items in these block colours and create a quirky vintage feel.

Add that tropical feel to your home.

Or you could indulge in the TROPICANA look.  Always a favourite in Queensland, striking geometric brights, prints and patterns just look effortlessly stylish together.  Choose a few new throw cushions, textiles and accessories featuring these stunning patterns.  They will pop against a neutral background, injecting the essence of a tropical holiday into your space.

These graphic outdoor fabrics will enliven your alfresco area.

Vases in this seasons hottest colour - ORANGE!

Perhaps you may prefer the casual, yet stylish ambiance of the celebrated HAMPTON look.  Architecturally infused with classical elegance, Hampton's interiors owe much of their aura and relaxed luxury to the restrained use of colour and careful selection of fabrics, textiles, furniture and accessories.  Colour wise, this polished, but not formal look is quite simple with whites, off whites, pale neutrals, accents of pale green, duck egg blue, light grey or an accent of navy blue or black against an expanse of white brings white back into contrast.  

Accent colours to compliment the Hampton's palate.

The essence of Hampton's style - relaxed, chic and effortless

Classic Hampton's style

You will find plenty of inspiration and gorgeous pieces to achieve these looks at your favourite home decorator store - Miraje Home in Cleveland.

The amazing Christmas wonderland window at Miraje Home

Our kaleidoscope of colour this Christmas will have you merry in moments with Miraje’s selection of this years hottest new ornaments and desirable offerings.

Mixing emerald green, cornflower, turquoise, fuchsia and scarlet creates a contemporary look which packs a real festive punch. The vivid velvet upholstery, the dramatic sparkling black tree with multi-coloured baubles combines with a peacock patterned fabric backdrop to create a most eye catching, masterful window display. Bright and beautiful.

Then we move on to beachy Christmas Hampton style, washed hearts, stars, snowflakes, birds and oceanic features. Christmas by the Bay – cool and relaxing.

The third look is the warm glowing ambience of tawny copper, metallic highlights, faded gold, antique glass and vintage baubles, enchanted forest ornaments, precious wreaths and acorns. Shot with luxurious red, this Parisian/European/Woodland inspired theme, will melt your heart as well.

The colourful clash, Beachy or Parisian – we are brimming with inspiration this Christmas.

Aqua Decorating

From Retro and Vintage, Cottage to Modern, 

Beach to Hollywood Regency, 

Mediterranean and Moroccan, 

let us meet the versatile blue green hue 

which colours water - AQUA.

Accessories add character

Is it Green, or is it blue? Being on the cool side of the spectrum, it turns down the heat in summers and makes small spaces appear larger- perfect for the bayside. Nothing emphasises the magic of coastal living like splashes of aqua in décor pieces, accent walls, cushions, towels, tiles, lamps. Against a background of white or off-white and a mixture of natural materials and fibres, aqua really pops. A perfect example of this is Thea and Sami Aqualicious Fretwork fabric shown here.

Not Surprisingly, aqua can give a retro feel to spaces because many vintage items from the 40s to 70s have hints of aqua. Can you remember this? The Hollywood Regency style used plush aqua in furnishing fabrics, wallpaper, sometimes with pink and black!! – very dramatic and lux.

Dark Furniture mixes beautifully with aqua, relieving the deep colour in the furniture. This is very useful in lounges and bedrooms.

In Mediterranean style, you can combine mandarin orange and vibrant aqua (on the blue side)- a popular pair this summer.
