STYLE SPOTLIGHT

Calm house

8 February 2018

Heavily patterned and decadently detailed interiors are banished to the backbenches when it comes to this sleek and contemporary homeware trend. 

Calm House breathes fresh life into your home with an easy-living neutral colour palette and an emphasis on textures. Whether you’re living in a period property in the country or a shiny urban new-build, Calm House is a truly versatile look that suits all spaces and encourages tranquility.

Natural woods 

Wooden furniture is a firm favourite that has stood the test of time. It's simply never out of fashion when it comes to interiors. It ranks highly for being such a practical and easy-to-live-with material and it's, usually, the greener and more environmentally-friendly option as opposed to plastic and man-made materials. Make a sound and guilt-free investment then by opting for simple styled pale wooden designs with a tactile rustic edge. Furniture that has an untreated or whitewashed look is the real deal.

Hand finished ceramics 

There’s a heavy focus on the hand finished aesthetic for Calm House, particularly when it comes to ceramics and glassware. The more rustic and casual your mugs and saucers look, the better. Reactive and hand-dipped glazes are key for this look when choosing table crockery. Create an enviable table top display by collecting a cluster of these beauties - the more the better!

Layered textures 

Casual layering works wonders when adding interest and detail to a neutral scheme such as this. Invest in a selection of different cushions and throws with varying textures – a chunky knit piece layered on top of a faux-fur blanket is so inviting, as is a mixture of plain cotton and linen cushions. Top tip – remember and stick to the colour palette of cream and grey and other muted hues, otherwise it just starts looking messy.
