Jamie Durie’s top five tips for bringing the outdoors in

Today Jamie Durie launched his new book Living Design. The book, a first for Jamie, in collaboration with creative director, Nadine Bush, delivers helpful tips on creating a connection to nature no matter what kind of home you live in. 

“What we are trying to do is re-create the outdoors vibe indoors, because we believe passionately that everything feels better outside— lounging, dining, cooking, sleeping, or chatting with your friends and family” Jamie told 9Homes. 

We caught up with the Durie after his appearance on this morning's Today show segment, to find out his top five tips for bringing the outdoors in: 

1. Bring garden into the home

2. Look at paint finishes that are inspired by nature

3. Go for natural floor coverings

4. Same goes for furnishing materials

5. Where possible, open your kitchen, dining or living room out to its surrounds
