More of a
movement than a trend, sustainability and the use of organic materials have
become prominent in interior design. Key pieces are carefully considered investments,
the design aesthetic is as important as the origins of the materials used. Sustainable
design incorporates reclaimed wood, recycled glass, and organic textiles.
These
design values are intrinsic to our client’s organic wool-based bedding. Here we
used a neutral colour palette and the use of natural materials are combined to
create a relaxing, mindful space that is a perfect backdrop to showcase their
products.
How to style up this look
- Keep your
colour palette earthy and neutral
- Use furniture
and accessories that are made from sustainable materials
- Choose
textiles made from organic or recycled materials
- Display
dried pampas and palm leaves to complete the look

First impressions count and the entrance to your home is no exception. Our modern classic design scheme has industrial touches with luxe brass detailing that can easily be translated to your home.
When updating your hallway consider the practicalities. Here we used a hardwearing oak floor, making sure the surface can stand up to the demands of the space. If budget allows why not invest in a statement black and white floor tile or crittall section dividers? Both will add architectural detail and help to elevate the space.
Storage is an important element of a design scheme; we included a sleek console table to quickly tuck away keys and unopened post.
How to style up this look
• Invest in a hardwearing floor for the high traffic area.
• Allow the light in and exclude drafts with crittall doors.
