Wherever you live or wherever you’re headed this summer, take inspiration from your surroundings… From a loft-style apartment to a quaint cottage or beachside bungalow, transform your space with accessories that honor your location or desired aesthetic.
City living
Modern and monochrome are two things that always come to mind for urban homes. A contemporary colour combination, you just can’t beat black and white. We love our standout Dulwich Table Lamp and architectural Turville Side Table for a dramatic duo.
Elevate and enhance with stunning marble. Whether it’s a kitchen countertop, or serveware staples, a polished surface makes for a sophisticated feel. Then add brass accents to introduce a touch of luxurious warmth. When it comes to furniture, velvet has a distinctly cosmopolitan appeal. Our occasional chairs are cocktail-hour approved and destined for city dwelling.

Countryside escape
Vintage romance and rural charm are synonymous with a country lifestyle. Think ditsy florals, classic plaid and timeless gingham for a playful take on pattern. Pillows and throws are an easy (and less permanent) way to introduce prints. But, if you’re feeling bold, wallpaper can become a real feature.
From picturesque cabins and cottages to colonial homes with wrap-around porches, natural elements are always key when decorating in the countryside. Blur the boundaries between indoors and out with vases filled with seasonal foliage and tactile, woven accessories.

Coastal retreat
Mirror those cloudless skies and white sandy shores with a palette to match. Pair bone and ivory hues with indigo, navy and Oxford blue for seaside style. The easiest way? Summery stripes across cushions and rugs. Breton definitely isn’t just for your vacation wardrobe.
For texture, wood cladding is key and can be used on ceilings and walls to recreate that beach hut aesthetic. Linen is also a go-to for its relaxed and lived-in feel. Finally, it’s all about weathered finishes to reflect that coastal landscape. It’s no secret we love an antique accessory, so you’ll have no trouble finding beautifully worn pieces.
