Cool Kids

Style Tip
A desk space is absolutely essential for homework and doubles as a display for photographs and momentos.

Kids these days… don’t require an old-fashioned, fussy approach to their spaces. Veer away from childish, cutesy and impractical decor and look towards a modern aesthetic that blends stylish design with a touch of wit and whimsy.

California Dreamin’

Style Tip
Create cohesion by using the same woods and metals throughout a space but mix things up with the soft furnishings.

Get lost in a wave of California cool with a perfect mish-mash of earthy, coastal elements and slick, industrial accents. Laidback, mid-century furnishings, nomadic, tropical prints and bursts of muddy citrines and mustards add to the contemporary yet casual feel.

Everything In It’s Place

Style Tip
Take a leaf out of Marie Kondo’s book and invest in different sized storage, catering specifically to the needs of your home.

While the urge to Konmari your entire home may present itself at the start of spring cleaning season, nailing the perfect storage solutions that are both useful and attractive should be the first thing on your to-do list.

Sketchy Business

Style Tip
To add flair to any occasion, look to a mix of vintage glassware such as coupes, flutes and tumblers.

Taking style cues from the iconic Sketch restaurant in London’s Mayfair, a sumptuous feast of brass fixtures, Art Deco nuances and rosy pink accents combine for a feeling of sheer decadence, perfect for the ultimate entertainer’s home.

Slow & Steady

Style Tip
Invest in handmade objects from reputable artisans and makers for items that last and to treasure.

Press pause on the daily hustle and bustle and fill your home with pieces that adhere to an ethos of slow living. Natural, fibrous textiles and artisanal goods in an earthy palette add to the relaxed atmosphere.
