How to Create a Calm Oasis at Home
Content editor
Else HuttMinimalist touch
To give your space a serene update, try introducing soft neutral tones and tactile materials, such as wood, textured ceramics and soft furnishings. We’re loving how a textured vase adds shape and contrast. Build on the calming aesthetic with a plush rug to bring visual depth to your space and giving a luxurious feel underfoot.
And relax
Turn your bedroom into the haven you deserve with sumptuous new bedding – you'll find that turning in will suddenly become the highlight of your day (don't say we didn't warn you). Discover our range of crisp neutral bedding sets and cushions in subtly decorated designs that will reboot your sleeping space. Upgrading your bedside lighting is another way to instantly update your bedroom. Consider a sculptural wooden bedside lamp to gently illuminate your bedtime reading.
Raise a glass
Thoughtful glassware is set to elevate any dinner party this season, from goblet-style wine glasses to chic straight-sided tumblers. Glassware with an artisanal feel will add a considered touch to al fresco lunches and sundowners, creating a talking point and a tablescape to remember. Why not check out our cocktail recipes to match the tipple to the glass like a professional?
Plush hour
Cosy cushions add a sense of comfort and ease to any setting, whether artfully arranged on a sofa or piled high on a bed. Our floral-embroidered cushion will elevate your furniture by bringing subtle detail and interest to your space. Consider this broderie design paired with our Dempsey accent chair, the perfect spot for your guests to relax for after-dinner drinks. We also have soft-pile rugs in calming tones: our favourite is this shaggy Matrix rug from Asiatic that's made from wool-rich yarn.
On the shelf
Carefully curated shelves can make a meaningful addition to your living space. It can be helpful to arrange items on the floor to begin with so you can see how your ornaments sit together. Use books and boxes to elevate smaller items and add character. If you want to keep to a tonal scheme, pick items in a variety of textures to avoid it looking too uniform. Place larger home accessories towards the back, then layer with smaller items at the front. Et voilà.
