1. Take a cue from Santorini and pair crisp whites with piercing blues: Perhaps the most popular of the Cyclades islands, Santorini is known for its whitewashed buildings which pop against the backdrop of the deep blue Aegean Sea. The bright white is utterly striking when paired with the natural blues of the coast, and this is a combination that we also love within the home. Perfect for creating a relaxed feeling that’s just as breezy as the days spent swimming and sunning in Santorini, blue and white are ideal for the summer months and beyond! For a piercing blue, try our shades Petronilla or Neptune from our new MoodBoards range with House & Home.

2. Make a Moroccan- inspired lounge with plenty of cushions and comfort: If you were to travel to Morocco you’d likely find plenty of places that maximise their space and comfort through the use of soft cushions in all shapes and sizes, low and long sofas, and plush throws. Our Style Guide Cathy has created a gorgeous garden oasis that is giving us major Moroccan vibes with its styling and we are here for it! If you want to bring some of Morocco’s charm to your home, decorate with cushions and textiles in various colours, sizes, and patterns. Floor cushions are particularly useful when striving for that authentic Moroccan magnificence. 

3. Create an al-fresco dining experience to rival Italy with thoughtful lighting: Picture this: a romantic side street in Rome, a small cafe that makes the world’s best ravioli, a table for two outside in the moonlight, the sound of music floating out from the live performance inside and the smell of fresh basil finding its way to your nose and awakening your senses. A beautiful and surprisingly inexpensive bottle of red sits mere inches from your hand, and twinkling festoon lights help reflect the magic of the evening... Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? While you may not be jetting off to Italy in the near future, you can bring some of that Italian ambiance to your garden with a stunning outdoor dining experience. Set the mood for you and your nearest and dearest with candles and string lights. 

4. Bring some of Bali’s lushness to your home with potted plants: Bali is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the world. With its striking landscapes that range from white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters to dense green jungles, Bali is a land of wonder. Bali’s beauty relies heavily on nature and the plants and trees that are native to the area. Get inspired by Bali’s beauty and surround yourself with natural greenery in the form of potted plants. These will not only have a calming impact to your space, but will also add interest and style. If you want to take the gorgeous greens of Bali a step further, a paint colour like our MoodBoards shades Aloe There or In Between will do the trick!
