Based between busy Sydney and laid back Byron Bay, Shannon Fricke is adept at making sure her life is full of contrast and change. The stylist and author created her own range of bed linen with creative layering and mixing in mind. We asked for her advice on mixing things up...

When you mix up your life, when you make change happen, sometimes big, sometimes small, it keeps you true to your soulful path.



Mix a collection of shells, stones and nature walk finds in a bowl and display as a reminder to go on an adventure.



Leave sticky notes around the house, on mirrors and the dashboard with positive affirmations for pick-me-ups throughout the day.

Mix and match your pillowcases to keep your bed looking fresh.



Pin up magazine clippings, postcards & pictures onto a board so your ultimate desires & goals are always in sight.



Spend the day going wherever the breeze takes you.



Make your bed smell as good as it looks with your own linen spray: 60ml alcohol, 120ml water and 15 drops of your favourite essential oil combinations.

Act on your inner child impulses and pile all of your blankets, pillows and cushions on the floor and nap in a spacious, cosy nest.



Write a daily journal for 30 days - a lovely way to track your life, thoughts and feelings.



Add some fruit and flowers to your ice cube trays before freezing to dress up your cocktails.



Once a week, go without applying makeup or fussing with your hair and embrace the beauty of you.



Snip flowers and herbs from the garden and use as floral arrangements.
