Style 3 ways
The beauty of owning timeless foundation pieces is you can effortlessly style them any way you choose, depending on your mood, the season or whether they move with you to a new home. Key pieces to start a collection include a comfy leather sofa in a buttery vintage brown (Carson 3 Seater Leather Sofa), a rectangular timber coffee table (Oakdale Cross Leg Table) anchored with a textural cream rug (Diamond Trellis Rug). With just three key pieces and a few accessories, you can style to your heart’s content.
1 Blush
For a subtle feminine look, transform the sofa with soft blush-toned cushions and throw, teamed with a touch of navy for depth. Complete the look with delicate ceramics and dried florals.

2 Botanical
If you’re a plant lover, create a botanical retreat with natural tones peppered with olive accents and clusters of potted greenery. Display stems in vases, choose plants in varying scales and foliage types and opt for neutral pots for a cohesive feel. The key to pulling off the look is to keep the colour palette restrained so the deep greenery pops.

3 Coastal
For a casual beach holiday-house feel, layer the sofa with a mix of block-coloured cushions and throws and top the coffee table with weekend reading, colourful vessels and handmade curios. Add coloured glassware for a subtle retro vibe with a hint of nostalgia.
