Coastal Ambience
Integrate soft natural hues of sand, sun, and shells to create a soothing aesthetic reminiscent of taking in ocean views on a warm, breezy day. Interior spaces highlight neutrality with warm whites and natural light wood tones. Light greige, taupe, creamy white, dusty pink, and blush beautifully complement the beachy atmosphere. Accents of textured materials like reeded surfaces, caning, rattan, and twisted rope create interest, while plush bouclé adds a touch of luxury and comfort.
Hipstoric
Mid-century design elements are paired with softer, current shapes for a styling juxtaposition—creating a unique, personalized space with a touch of nostalgia. Autumnal hues, with colors like copper, burnt orange, terracotta, and amber bring a sense of humility. Expressive marble with deep veining in a variety of colors add character and depth. Stone and rock add texture, bring a touch of nature to a space, and can serve as bold wall accents, drawing attention to specific elements.
Artisan Wanderer
Draw inspiration from global décor and craftsmanship by collecting and combining handcrafted and locally sourced materials and elements from various regions and cultures. Warm golden tones infuse the palette with warmth and vibrancy. Upcycled brick and imperfect tiles create a unique aesthetic. Tapestries, geometric patterns, and animal prints add a touch of cultural richness, and handcrafted wovens and natural materials add textural depth.
Natural Immersion
Bring the calming influence of nature indoors through biophilic design elements to offer respite from bustling urban surroundings. Sage, mossy greens, and eucalyptus mixed with wood elements and earthy neutrals, such as terracotta, brown, and beige, connect with drier climates. Recycled content, fibers, raw wood, and eco-friendly resources such as surplus sheep's wool, kelp, hemp, and rattan create beautiful spaces while supporting the environment.
Neo Deco
Art Deco design concepts combined with a neomodern influence create an eye-catching, engaging, and energetic aesthetic. Gracefully curved forms are prevalent, with the arch as a pivotal element. Tubular pieces and irregular shapes add sculptural elements with a hint of surrealism. Evoke happiness with peachy pinks; pair with electric blue to give the interior a vibrant appeal. Metallic finishes are coupled with high-gloss and high-sheen finishes.
Sensorial Wellness
Serene shades of blues and greens paired with soothing beiges and grays set a calming ambience for individuals with various sensory abilities. The inclusion of light wood tones and natural stone along with engaging textures, such as fluting, frost, or iridescence, infuse a sense of warmth and softness into the space. Natural elements and materials can enhance creativity and clarity of thought, and the addition of sound-absorbing elements offers both visual texture and auditory relief from the surrounding environment.
