A pared back approach is taken with this living room scheme, where alabaster and setting plaster are contrasted with dark blue-grey, and light woody accents. This muted elegance starts with the foundation of a 100% handspun wool rug, with knots that evoke a wood grain effect that is mirrored in the weathered coffee table, window lintels and wooden beams. 

The tonal path of the room continues through rattan and jute accents, keeping the space light and airy but still grounded. An upholstered rattan armchair adds warmth, while the jute stool offers a relaxed texture and character that feels down-to-earth.

Combining wood tones with a pastel blue-grey hue on the walls and light flooring, brings the outside in to create a dining space that's equally relaxed and grounded. The oak dining table has a live-edge finish that creates an unfussy thread of heritage, whilst handwoven rattan seat of the cross back dining chairs in elm are reminiscent of outdoor seating European bistros.

Natural materials in neutral tones compliment a space that is as good hosting friends, as it is midweek family meals. The woven palm shades add a touch of contemporary tropical aesthetics, when paired with the triptych jacquard tapestry that's understated in palette, yet confident in scale.

A much richer hued take on what it means to incorporate the natural world in our interiors, this living room scheme takes notes from pairing dark woody tones with rust coloured textiles. The deep green paint on the walls is aptly named after the plumage of the mallard, which weaves in through textured cushions, and comfortable accompaniments in the space like the frilled edge ottomans.

Mixing vintage and antique artworks or tapestries, with woollen, textured rugs creates an interior that feels considered without being "over-styled", and the tones in the artwok continue through the dark mango wood coffee table, which in turn contrasts with the lighter toned rug and pumice-toned basketweave sofa
