As we age, our homes often become an extension of ourselves, a place where memories are cherished and personal style is expressed. For many of us in the over-60s club, the thought of a home makeover can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Embracing color is one of the simplest yet most transformative ways to refresh your living space, and thanks to some inspiration from Kmart, it's easier than ever to achieve a stunning result.


The concept is straightforward but impactful: choose a color you adore and make it the hero of your home. This approach to home styling is gaining traction, and it's not hard to see why. It's a liberating shift from the often overwhelming task of mixing and matching different hues and patterns. By committing to one color and layering different tones and textures, you can create a cohesive and sophisticated look that feels both intentional and effortless.


Nicholas Holmes, a Kmart home buyer, shares his insights with 9honey Living on how to master this trend. 'It's a really easy way to elevate a space – it feels really considered and designed without too much effort,' he explains. The key is to start with a neutral base, such as a wooden bed frame or white linens, and then layer your chosen color on top.


Take, for example, a bedroom styled by Kmart. The neutral base consists of white sheets and a wooden bed frame, accented with sand-colored pillowcases and an ivory throw. The hero color comes alive with a cotton quilt cover set and a velvet-striped cushion, both in a delightful shade of pink. This color extends into the adjoining bathroom, with pink towels, artwork, and accessories creating a seamless flow.

But how much is too much? Holmes advises restraint to avoid overwhelming the senses. 'Focus on small spaces when you're going to layer a color,' he suggests. 'You don't need to layer it across the whole home.' By concentrating on specific areas, like bathroom towels or sofa cushions, you can achieve balance and avoid color overload.

The beauty of this trend is its versatility. While Kmart's example uses pink, you can choose any color that resonates with you. If you're keen on staying current, sage green and its various hues are still in vogue, offering a timeless appeal that won't quickly go out of style. Holmes reassures that favorite colors like sage and sunset pink are here to stay, allowing you to layer and build upon them without the need for a complete overhaul.


For those looking to add a personal touch, consider incorporating emerging colors like blues, lilacs, and brighter pinks. Mixing materials – from the gloss of furniture finishes to the softness of cushions – can also add depth and sophistication to your space.
