Natural Style Living

 

 

White, rattan, wood, combined with neutral tones and perhaps a little bit of grey.
 To me this combination never gets boring.
 This natural style is especially perfect in summer time!

White & Wood

White and Wood - Get The Look

I always favour clean design lines and simple colour palettes especially when it comes to coastal decorating. It seems a pity to distract one from the beauty of the natural surroundings therefore I am loving this new trend that we are seeing on blogs and in mags of the combination of white and wood. It pays homage to the simplicity and purity of Scandinavian design. It's a trend that lends itself beautifully to beach house decorating. These images are the stunning work French photographer Romain Ricard.

I love the natural details in all these inviting white interiors.

It's Only Natural

I'm in the process of upgrading a bit of furniture and artwork in the house. After ten years trends and tastes change and things start to look a bit shabby, so it's time to freshen up. I have taken inspiration from all the natural influences around me like the the beach, sand dunes and dry grasses for a soft, natural look. There will be some new shell artwork and plenty of natural materials like cane, sisal, linen and rattan incorporated into the new scheme.
