THE SPRING MOODBOARD MAKING OF

To welcome the rejuvenating spirit of spring, we craft our moodboard with a focus on light. Airy fabrics and silk are perfect bases, their textures and weights mimicking the gentle caress of a warm breeze. We chose a palette of soothing pastels and vibrant floral hues that draw inspiration directly from the blossoming outdoors, reflecting nature&rsquo;s own color scheme.
Also we added another layer of depth and luxury with pieces of soft, colored leather. These elements bring a rich, tactile sensation to your board, offering a contrast to the finer fabrics. Leather in shades of sage, blush, and sky invoke the earthy tones of spring, making the connection to nature both visual and textural.

Embellishments like tassels and brass fittings infuse a playful, dynamic edge. Tassels, especially, capture the whimsical movement of spring's airy days, while brass elements add a touch of timeless warmth, reminiscent of the sun&rsquo;s comforting glow. Both materials work harmoniously to mirror the lively yet peaceful essence of the season.
&nbsp;
Finally, we incorporated natural stones or polished pebbles to ground your moodboard with an elemental touch. These stones, with their cool, smooth surfaces, offer a calming balance to the array of textures, serving as a tangible reminder of the rocky riverbeds and pebbled paths that dot the landscape. Each piece, inspired by nature&rsquo;s diverse forms, contributes to a moodboard that not only captures the essence of spring but also encourages a deeper connection with the natural world.

A space for sleep and sanctuary, your bedroom decor should evoke your senses. This week, we’re feeling inspired by our COMO Collection and this serene bedroom. Let’s take a closer look at how the elements come together. Our COMO Bed is an escape from the world outside with its bold structure, combining fabric, solid wood and brushed brass in a design that touches on industrial. The futuristic shape is perfectly paired with our COLMAR Bedside Table thanks to the soft curves. We’ve made it even softer with an inviting run and plenty of scatter cushions and throws. Equally alluring is our COMO Armchair, with its deep, circular shape that invites you to sink right in. The perfect place for unwinding as you contemplate the day you’ve just left behind. It’s matched with our HAMPTONS Side Tables in two sizes to add depth and texture to the room. Bringing a little luxury is our PARMA Dresser with matching stool and mirror, which reflects the light, opening up the space. And for those that see the beauty in organisation – our KYIV Closet. This modular unit can be made to suit your requirements with hanging space, shelves and drawers. The structured inlay mirrors the COMO Bed bringing the entire room together.
