island girl Taking inspiration from her natural endurance in raw coastal conditions, here is our interpretation on how to incorporate the coarse yet comforting aspects this island girl is effortlessly embracing

Tough textures Heavy weaves and thick fibres will endure the brutal elements whilst also adding a strength of character Mix patterns with vigour, but keep the palette to one tone to retain a calm landscape

C O V E R S T O R Y
Embrace informality Loosely layer accessories and soft furnishings in a nonchalant manner. This creates a casual and comfortable environment which eases the spirit and is always inviting

Be bold Add large, time worn, sculptural pieces to a room, especially effective if there is a lack of original architectural features Soften the pow with white linen soft furnishings

Bejewel The seaside is always shimmering with some form of natural jewel Shell, pearls, sea glass, glistening sand and glittery water. These all capture the natural magic of the beach so layer in such elements within smaller accessories
