Claudia Kozub, Indie Home Collective

A great way to create a relaxed, comfy vibe in your home is to use lots of layers and textures. Mix homewares such as vases, candles and plants in different shapes and sizes. Create a coffee table centrepiece using a platter, silver tray, low basket or even a beautiful piece of petrified wood as the base. Layer it with vases, foliage, candles and votives. For added texture you could try a large natural crystal, shell cluster or piece of coral.

+ Another fantastic way to create a simple, visually effective look is to group together vases, planters, votives and candles of the same colour. Mix different heights and interesting textures. Add a great plant and you will have an organic, textured look.
