Top Summer Trends for Home & Food

As summer 2025 sweeps across Australia, we are embracing trends that celebrate both style and sustainability. From sophisticated home design to fresh culinary delights, here are the season’s must-haves to inspire your lifestyle.

Home Trends: Where Elegance Meets Sustainability
This summer, sustainability is at the forefront of home design. Maison DB offers a stunning selection of antique furniture and homewares, allowing you to add character and history to your space while reducing waste. For those seeking a timeless alternative to mass-produced ceramics, Mud Australia creates handmade pieces that perfectly intersect a minimalist aesthetic with an artisan finish, ensuring both beauty and longevity.

Meanwhile neutral palettes, punctuated with earthy tones and natural textures like rattan and jute, remain popular for creating serene, functional spaces. Indoor greenery also continues to thrive, with low-maintenance plants like monsteras and succulents adding a touch of vitality and freshness. Visit Zjoosh at Kiaora Place for stylish accents that blend sustainability with sophistication.

Food Trends: Fresh, Vibrant, and Locally Sourced
On the culinary front, Australian summer dining is all about celebrating local produce and bold flavours. Explore premium cuts of meat and pantry staples from 1888 Certified, such as artisanal oils, gourmet condiments, and organic grains, to elevate your home-cooked meals. Seafood dishes like grilled barramundi or King Prawn skewers remain classic crowd-pleasers, while plant-based options like zucchini fritters and colourful poke bowls continue to gain popularity. Visit Woolworths at Kiaora Place to discover their extensive ranges of fresh seafood and produce, perfect for creating these vibrant dishes at home.

For beverages, botanical-infused sparkling waters and artisanal cocktails are leading the charge. Head into Dan Murphy's for a curated selection of summer-ready wines, spirits, and mixers, including elderflower tonics and refreshing watermelon spritzers.
