Laid-back luxury

The secret to this look is to surround yourself with natural yet luxurious materials that feel good to the touch. Choose pure linen bedding and pile the bed high with squishy pillows to make lazy lie-ins a pleasure. Opt for furniture that’s upholstered in soft cotton velvets with deep buttoning and pleated details for a touch of indulgence. Juxtapose this with rustic touches, such as woven seagrass storage baskets and hand-thrown pottery vases. Continue the natural theme with dark-wood flooring softened with flatweave cotton rugs. Use a subdued washed-out palette, incorporating colours inspired by nature, such as sky blue, chalky coral, leaf green, cloudy grey and sandy taupe.
