How to create Calm in your home
When you simply need your home to be a sanctuary from chaos - curating a Calm vibe helps to balance your energy, and soothes the senses as soon as you walk in the door.
Pippa Jameson, Interior Designer & Sensory Expert
“There’s lots of ways to create a calm home, and one of the most effective is through using biophilic design. You can incorporate this through real or faux foliage, or even wall murals, which are a really simplistic way to have a lovely backdrop - say behind your bed - that will help you really relax.”
How to make Calm your thing
Homes with a Calm vibe tend to have their style rooted in nature, often with a tranquil green colour palette against a backdrop of natural materials, like wood, stone and linen. But it’s far from rustic; adding touches of elegance and indulgence throughout help to elevate your spaces, creating a feel that’s more luxury than bohemian. It’s not all visual - soft funishings and rugs help to soften outside sound, and soothing natural scents will all help to curate your ultimate sanctuary of calm.

The botanical trend has become more luxurious; Nature Luxe combines forest greens and earthy neutrals with a mix of warm woods, then introduces an unexpected touch of luxury with hints of gold. Bouclés and velvets work well for upholstery - look for curved sofas and round tables to echo organic forms found in nature.
To nail the coastal living look, pick key pieces of timeless furniture in classic shapes, but look for the latest fabric trends, such as bouclé. Choose a coordinated colour palette of blues, sand and off-whites, and accessorise with stripes, washed linens, nautical weaves and driftwood - connecting the coastline to the interior.
