First things first: a busy space needs something that brings in a sense of calm. Think nature-inspired textiles, leaf motif cushions finished by hand and affordable accessories in organic shapes.

Exposed bulbs and pared back pieces made from light wood have an industrial and unfinished – but very stylish – appeal to them. Layer with artwork, rugs and accessories for a contemporary take that is super comfortable, too.

Create quiet cohesion in a busy space with a palette of natural, tactile materials. Try woven rattan chairs or jute floor coverings to bring a natural vibe that feels wonderful to the touch.
