  3. Modernize Your Laundry, For Less

We love to renovate our homes, but doing so costs thousands of dollars and it’s a very stressful time to go through. Or if you have renovated, next you need new furnishings and accessories to go with your new look. Here’s an item to help get a modern laundry look for less.

We have a range of laundry baskets and clothes hampers are out now in modern, contemporary colours of charcoal, cool grey, green and crisp white. Plus there are matching buckets and pails in charcoal and white too for a complete ensemble.

If you can’t afford a renovation and want to give your laundry or bathroom a quick lift in its appearance without breaking the bank, updating your clothes baskets or hamper is an easy and affordable way to achieve a fresh new look.

On the other hand, if you have renovated your laundry and have chosen up-to-date neutral tones and shades, HomeLeisure’s range will allow you to team with the theme and achieve a coordinated appearance.

But then again, if you are a traditionalist and prefer everything to be clean and crisp white, that’s covered too.

Here is the range in their new colours:

Grey

Grey may be more your thing. With a close appearance of silver (faux silver, perhaps?), our grey range is another way to give a room an affordable lift and look a little more elegant with a hint of shimmer.

Think of grey as being charcoal’s lighter, brighter sibling. Grey is also colour’s best friend – while looking great together and complimenting each other, grey lets colour be the centre of attention by taking a step back. Grey also goes very well with stone and neutral beiges tones too. And if grey works better in one room and charcoal in others, the two work well together as well so you can use both and still maintain a common theme.

Green

Maybe green is more you style well we have that covered as well with our large 62L Trend Linen Hamper is made with a sturdy plastic design, perfect for all types of laundry before washing day.

White

White is the traditional and most common colour there is in Australian bathrooms and laundries, so naturally, the range is available in white too.

White represents simplicity, clean and open spaces. Especially in bathrooms, we often choose white for tiles and paint with a touch of neutral or colour for trimmings. The best thing with this style is you can then add colour by way of towels and accessories, and then change them cheaply and easily as often as you like. So in a white bathroom, you can maintain the airy feel with a white linen hamper, or go for a bold and daring look with charcoal, meanwhile, in the laundry, a white laundry basket will complement your washing machine and dryer.

Living in an apartment doesn’t mean missing out on the joys of gardening. With a little creativity, your balcony or patio can become a calming, stylish oasis — perfect for unwinding after a busy day.

Why Grow a Balcony Garden?

A green corner isn’t just about looks. Tending to plants is a mindful way to take a break, reduce stress, and bring a bit of nature into your daily routine. Even a few pots can transform your outdoor space into a personal sanctuary.

What to Grow: Best Plants for Small Spaces

If you’re looking to add life to your balcony or patio, start with versatile herbs like mint, basil, rosemary, and parsley. These thrive in sunny spots with 4–6 hours of sunlight daily and need watering when the top inch of soil feels dry, usually two to three times a week. To make maintenance easier, try the HomeLeisure WaterSaver Rect Fluted 480mm Terracotta Pot, which helps keep soil moist without constant attention.

Trailing plants such as pothos, ivy, and string of pearls are perfect for balconies with filtered sunlight. They flourish in indirect light and only need watering every one to two weeks, as they prefer the soil to dry out between waterings. For a stylish, space-saving solution, use the WaterSaver Hanging Basket 440mm Green to display these cascading beauties at eye level.

WaterSaver Hanging Basket 440mm Green

Snake plants, ZZ plants, and succulents are excellent choices if you prefer low-maintenance greenery. These hardy plants only need watering every two to three weeks and are well-suited to low-light conditions, making them ideal for shadier balconies or patios. Pair them with the Replicotta Round Pot 200mm for a modern look that complements any décor.

For those who want to try growing their food, compact edibles like cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and chillies are both rewarding and practical. These plants require full sun—at least six hours daily—and regular watering, making them ideal for sunny balconies in NSW or Victoria. To get started easily, consider the GYO Seedlings 8 Cell Pk8 Sage for a convenient all-in-one kit.

With the right plant choices and a few smart pot selections from HomeLeisure, you can transform even the smallest balcony into a lush, inviting retreat that’s easy to care for and uniquely yours.

Quick Styling Tips

  • Mix heights and textures: Combine tall plants, hanging baskets, and low pots for visual interest.
  • Use lightweight, self-watering pots: They make care easy and let you rearrange your space as needed.
  • Personalize your setup: Add a comfy chair, fairy lights, or a small table to make your green corner inviting.

Start Small, Grow Your Sanctuary

You don’t need a big backyard to enjoy the benefits of gardening. With thoughtful plant choices and a bit of style, your balcony can become your favourite spot to relax, recharge, and express your personality — all in just a few square metres.
