Embrace the season with fabrics inspired by this designer’s love of the great outdoors.

Ground yourself this season with the latest indoor/outdoor collection by Californian textiles and wallpaper designer, Kelly Wearstler. The third instalment of Wearstler’s ever-popular Terra Firma story, its earthy tones and organic textures that evoke desert sands, sea-green oceanscapes and rocky coastlines will infuse your indoor living spaces with a calming touch of nature. Or take full advantage of the range’s durable, Sunbrella acrylic yarn construction and immerse yourself in the elements while the weather permits. There’s nothing like the crisp air and sun on your face as you enjoy that first cup of tea in the morning, however, with autumn’s arrival, now is also the time to prepare your home for the months ahead. Take a cue from Terra Firma III and keep colour subdued, using pattern and texture to add interesting dimensions to a room or cosy corner within. Mix and match geometric prints such as the checkerboard-style ‘Quay’ (second from right), and the plaid ‘Riptide’ (far right) in harmonious shades for an effortless effect that speaks to the perfect randomness of the natural world.
