Create a calm and peaceful home with these stylish looks.
Bring a sense of serenity to your home with delicate floral patterns, stripped-back furniture and natural materials.
Cushions in golden hues and sky blue shades look stunning piled on a grey sofa. Furniture with clean lines allows light to circulate around the room.
Striking black wire furniture balances beautifully with soft seating and light oak pieces.
Soften white walls with artworks featuring gentle patterns and ceramics in a variety of shapes. Add wood for natural colour.
Take inspiration from traditional Japanese rituals, and add modern touches with this season's new colours – ochre and indigo.
Create a sense of calm with a striking textured pendant lantern in a natural colour, surrounded by soft tones and textiles.
Dark wood and glossy cabinets get a lift with a serene teal hue above the work surface and on the rattan bar stools.
Contrasting patterns in muted tones create a restful bedroom, while wall-mounted lights keep the bedside clear.
Turn a small space into a quiet reading area with a simple bench. Install your own dark panelling or use wood-effect wallpaper.
