Create coastal zen with the calm beach trend
This season’s take on coastal style keeps hold of what we love about the trend, but adds fun new elements - taking this timeless look to cosier, calmer waters. Woods get warmer and darker, we go heavier on the rattan, and while neutral is still key to the look, pops of rusty orange and sage green breathe extra life into spaces. This is the ideal trend to incorporate decor from your travels, or go all out with this season’s must-have statement - a botanical wall mural. With our easy-to-follow tips, creating your own slice of paradise is easier than ever!

2. Tropical and botanical elements
Botanical interior style certainly isn’t going out of style any time soon, and this trend uses a tropical influence for an unexpected twist. It’s time to get inspired by the relaxed, upscale glamour of far-away tropical hotels - White Lotus fans, we’re looking at you! Think palm fronds, woven grasses, sheer curtains wafting in that ocean breeze… And you can even incorporate archways, whether that’s with a full doorway makeover, or simply a painted archway backdrop to zone a space.
3. Natural wood textures
One of the easiest ways to channel this trend is through choosing mostly furniture and accessories made from natural woods. Rattan, bamboo and lighter woods like oak and beech all add to the rustic, zen feel of this trend, and combine beautifully across the different elements of your space. Rattan in particular has been growing in popularity in the interiors space, and you can now find everything from rattan chairs and cabinetry, to statement lampshades and headboards. However, if you’re a fan of medium or darker wood tones, don’t be afraid to mix them in here - who says all your wood tones have to match?!
4. Large scale wall murals
Create your own piece of paradise with one of the oldest decorative treatments - the wall mural. Whether you opt for ready-made large scale wall mural, a feature wall of wallpaper, or even paint your own design - this statement wall decoration is sure to make an impact in your space. Place yours behind your sofa, bed or dining table for an instant wow factor.
5. Pops of colour and pattern
Even if all-white-everything isn’t your vibe, you can still get on board with this trend - in fact, pops of colour and pattern are what elevates the look into upscale elegance. Bold stripe patterns - albeit in softer, neutral tones - are right at home in coastal bedrooms, while oversized tropical leaf prints work on everything from cushions and art to papered accent walls. Just keep to a few softer, more neutral shades to ensure you don’t overpower your space and lose that zen, calming vibe.
