Keep it muted

To start, curate a warm colour palette inspired by global travel. We took inspiration from the olive groves of the Mediterranean and the coral reefs of Australia, but you can take yours from anywhere you love. “Pairing a neutral backdrop with muted, sun-kissed shades evokes a sense of warmer climates,” explains Bana. Elsewhere, soft brown and terracotta bring rustic charm to cosy corners. Don’t forget to layer different shades on your sofa or bed to create balance.

Use nature’s finest materials

Drawing on nature’s natural beauty, this look celebrates raw materials and organic textures. Oak furniture takes centrestage while hints of terracotta pottery and mango wood add depth. Bana’s top tip? Weave handcrafted pieces amongst your larger items. “Earthenware ceramics and jute rugs ground this look in artisanal craftsmanship and natural beauty,” says Bana. For a final flourish, add plants and greenery to keep the space feeling fresh and alive.

Go global

This look invites you to surround yourself with mementos and accessories from your travels. “Look for items on holiday you can bring back and incorporate into your décor,” suggests Bana. Think sunhats, hand-carved figurines and eclectic trinkets. Alternatively, explore vases and storage baskets with a tribal or patterned design. These personal touches will tell your own unique style story and create an atmosphere that feels lived-in and homely.

Blend your design eras

Just like a traveller, this trend takes us on a journey to multiple style destinations. Mid-century pieces and industrial accents work side by side to create an eclectic blend of designs and styles. “Weave furniture from different design eras through each room,” suggests Bana. The key here is to place sharp and soft silhouettes next to each other. For example, a clean-lined, minimalist sideboard and a retro chair feels modern yet timeless.

Create a rustic feel

Introduce earthenware ceramics to bring a rustic charm to the heart of your home. “Artisan details keep the look feeling authentic,” says Bana. Look for handcrafted, imperfect ceramics for your dining table like plates, bowls and glasses with their own unique character. A wooden dining table with a natural finish complements these pieces perfectly, creating an inviting space for shared meals with loved ones.
