The interior

-

Feeling inspired by Commune’s modern take on classic California­n style? The look is all about creating a snug vibe by blending warm, red-toned woods with tactile textiles (chunky knits, sheepskins and plaids), vintage furniture and organic ceramics. Textures abound on walls (try a rye-grass wallpaper) and the colour palette is natural – think ochre, tobacco, indigo and bone.

1 With vintage pieces (including Fredrik A Kayser’s ‘Model 711’ armchairs) and panelling grounded by the rug, this Sydney cottage by Mary Ellen Hudson nails the look (meharchite­cts.format.com)

2 In Markham Roberts’ upstate New York guesthouse, the boarded walls are the perfect foil for printed textiles (markhamrob­erts.com)

3 You don’t have to panel an entire wall for a cabin-like feel; in this bedroom by Objek Architects, a headboard with integrated bedside tables (the work of Gio Ponti) does the job just as well. Linen bedding and stripy cushions pick up the tones of the painting by South African artist John Murray (objek.co.za)

4 Family heirlooms fill the summerhous­e of Belgian designer Derek Van Heurck. Green cement walls and lacquered mahogany nod to the outdoors, while sheepskins soften hard surfaces (@derekvh)

5 Bringing in the warm, earthy tones of the California­n landscape, Claybrook Studio’s ‘Superstar Visage’ encaustic tiles make a folk-inspired splashback for this kitchen (claybrooks­tudio.co.uk)

6 The forest-green A Rum Fellow’s ‘Fable’ fabric, used on a sofa and curtains, sits against a wooden background, while vivid dashes of red from the lamp and jug lift this scheme (arumfellow.com) ➤
