cool COASTAL
Transform your home with Habitat’s new Mediterranean summer 2022 collection full of azure blues, neutral hues and earthy tones. Andrew Tanner, Habitat’s Design Manager, says: ‘Channelling the allure of the Amalfi coast, azure and terracotta offer a timeless appeal when combined. Promoting serenity, this calming blue is combined with the grounded stability of earth tones for a harmonious scheme that strikes a balance between warm and cool notes’. The collection also features updates for bedrooms and living rooms, but we love the stylish pieces in its dining range.
