Sustainability & choosing natural materials
There are lots of benefits to buying natural materials. They’re kinder to the environment, as they don’t contain synthetics or harmful chemicals, and they generally last much longer. They tend to age well too, often getting better with time, and when they eventually wear out, the natural material doesn’t release harmful toxins. And, these fabulous materials are also healthier for us and are calming in our homes.
It’s worth investing a little more for something special. In terms of practicality, good quality products tend to be much more durable and they last longer. Special one-off items, especially those handcrafted by artisans, tend to be treasured, often becoming heirlooms. When the item’s made from a recycled source, like many of our designs, it gives it even more credibility.
Styling with pattern
Pattern can breathe new life into an interior, adding colour, character and texture. And, it’s a fabulous way to stamp your own mark on a space, be it with a tentative cushion, a jolly ottoman or a statement tiled floor. There’s no right or wrong; you just have to let the room dictate to you and be guided by your space. Even happy clashing can work, as long as patterns have a chance to breath and you can create a sense of balance.
Decorative floor and wall tiles are a fabulous way to introduce pattern throughout the home. You might want the tile to be the ‘hero’, for strong visual interest, or to create a feature to complement surrounding décor; perhaps a splashback or feature wall. In either case, think about space, the light in the room and the overall look you want to achieve.
Natural stone flooring
Stone is an enduringly popular finish. It connects our homes with nature and is very grounding underfoot. Pale sandy tones are always a popular choice but warmer colours are on the rise; gentle biscuits, fawn and brown shades, as well as richer chocolate tones.
Alongside our elegant honed designs, textured finishes are very popular. Many create an almost sensory experience, bring a feeling of calm, permanence and a tactile touch. There are a wide variety of patterns to choose from too – random flagstone designs, smart large-format linears and brick-style herringbones. If you’re planning a home to garden make-over, stone is an ideal choice, creating a beautifully seamless look through bi-fold doors. Here, texture works best, combining practical benefits with a stunning aesthetic.
Tactile lamps
Our range of tactile lighting reflects the natural charm of the great outdoors. Rich with texture and organic beauty, these designs are thoughtfully chosen with careful consideration to their material and individual form.
Each lamp is handcrafted from eco-friendly materials, like rattan, bamboo, reclaimed timber and petrified wood, salvaged from underground. There are a variety of styles to suit the mood of the room – be it an elegant table lamp for a cosy reading nook or a stately line of pendants to create a feature above a kitchen island.
Spa-like bathrooms
A tranquil retreat from daily hustle and bustle, a spa-like bathroom – or spathroom – is a beautiful addition to the home. Designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, these spaces take inspiration from spa-retreats and boutique hotels. They combine luxury bathing with a calm environment, along with thoughtful additions to feed the senses.
A neutral colour palette and natural materials, like wood, stone and marble, add to the mood and bring a touch of elegance. Generous showers and roll top baths take centre stage here, and extra wide basins are a must. Ample storage is also important, to keep spaces clutter-free, with fragrant candles, fluffy towels and botanicals adding the finishing touch. And, if space allows, the fabulous spaces can be recreated in the garden too!
