The STYLE RULES

BE INSPIRED BY NATURE

Utilise a neutral palette to create a sophisticated yet relaxed scheme. Shades of pebble grey and sand work with light wood and rattan accents for an organic feel.

CONTRAST MATERIALS

Juxtapose an exposed grey brick wall and feature timber beams with softer elements such as corduroy and linen upholstery. A plush bobble rug zones a living area.

KEEP PATTERN TO A MINIMUM

Instead focus on texture to provide interest. Tactile fabrics, woven rattan webbing and prominent wood grains all contribute to creating a welcoming environment.

SOOTHE THE EYE

Look for furniture with simple shapes and sleek lines for a clean, uncomplicated look. Origamiinspired lighting and black accessories lend a modern edge.
