Simple Ways to Give Old Things New Life This Winter at Kawana Shoppingworld
As the weather cools, winter is the perfect time to rediscover comfort in everyday things. Across Kawana Shoppingworld, ideas for fashion, food and everyday living encourage families to restyle, reuse and reconnect throughout the season.
Pantry Rescue Recipes
Rediscover the ingredients forgotten at the back of the pantry and turn everyday leftovers into cosy winter comforts the whole family will love.
To inspire you, consider:
-
Homemade croutons and bread pudding using stale bread
-
Banana bread made with overripe fruit
-
Warming soups created from soft vegetables
Sunlit Asian Supermarket, Aldi, Coles and Woolworths can help with simple staples, fresh ingredients and flavour-packed extras that make it easier to get more out of everyday meals.
If you are after a few more ideas to suit what you fancy, pantry staples can go even further in winter:
-
Slow-cooked broths
-
Freezer-friendly dinners
-
Homemade hot chocolates
-
Dried orange slice decorations
-
Simmer pots or homemade potpourri using leftover citrus, cinnamon sticks, cloves and herbs
These simple ideas can help you waste less and get more out of what you already have at home.
Little Winter Projects
Give slow winter days a creative focus with simple projects, small home updates and activities that make use of what you already have.
To inspire you, consider:
Creating homemade cards or gift tags from leftover paper
-
Starting a scrapbook, journal or winter memory box
-
Refreshing a shelf, desk or reading corner with small decorative touches
-
Setting up a rainy-day puzzle, reading or craft afternoon
-
Reusing jars, ribbons or boxes for simple storage
Cosy Home Reset
Winter is a good time to rethink the spaces you are spending the most time in. A few simple updates from Bed Bath N Table, Adairs, or Big W can help shift the mood at home.
To change the feel of a space:
-
Repaint a side table or shelf for a quick refresh
-
Move furniture around to open up a room
-
Add a plant for a bit more life
-
Style shelves with pieces you already own
-
Layer cushions, throws and lighting to make a corner feel warmer
-
Set up a reading nook, movie corner or rainy-day space for the kids
Sometimes a small change can have the biggest impact.
Refresh Your Favourites
Winter is a good time to look again at the pieces that have been pushed to the back of the wardrobe. With a few repairs, alterations or a little extra care, everyday staples can feel ready to wear again.
A loose button, a worn knit or a pair of jeans that needs hemming can all be enough to stop something getting worn. Pick up sewing accessories from Big W for your own repairs to make everyday pieces feel wearable again.
