Let us show you how to create a soothing room with these relaxed and timeless looks

This trend is all about creating restful and restorative spaces that are a pleasure to live, work and play in.

Let us help you find your happy place with blinds, curtains and shutters that promote better sleep, the raw simplicity of natural materials, cosy textures and a soothing palette of calming neutrals.

Cosy corners

Find a peaceful area in your home and create a cosy sanctuary where you can relax. Whether it’s a dedicated bedroom or a quiet corner of your lounge, transforming it into a haven of tranquility is essential for well-being. 

In this yoga room, a textured Roman blind helps harness a calming atmosphere and a therapeutic color palette finishes the look, creating a place to focus on happiness and self-care.

For a coordinated finish, choose cushions in the same fabric – or one that  matches your window dressing – to create a finish that subtly flows through your whole room.

Serene sheers

Exposure to daylight can improve your wellbeing, increase your connection to nature and help to calm your surroundings. Voile curtains are perfect for achieving just that. By allowing natural light to flood your living space, you can create a serene and inviting atmosphere that promotes relaxation and reduces stress

Made from delicate, sheer fabrics, they're a contemporary alternative to net curtains, providing privacy while maintaining a sense of openness. Your advisor can fit a double track system if you'd like to pair them with curtains for a cosy finish, offering the best of both worlds: light and airy during the day, warm and snug in the evening.

Calming colours

Neutrals are so easy to live with, and this season’s warmer tones are particularly cosy and calming. Combine nude tones with soft cream and rich biscuit to add depth. Make sure you get the right lighting too. You can easily achieve a soft glow with lanterns or fairy lights strung about the place. It will make everything feel nice and cosy.

The beautiful olive stripe of our Duke Olive Roman blind matches the colour of these landing walls perfectly. Whether you're looking for a peaceful reading corner or an elegant space to welcome guests, the earthy charm of this fabric is a calming addition to this space.

I'm all about being calm so all the colours I've chosen throughout my home are very calming. I love when I walk through my front door, it doesn't matter what kind of day I've had, I'll always feel relaxed as soon as I step inside.

Relaxing home office décor

Transform your workspace into a serene sanctuary with carefully curated decor. Opt for a calming color palette of soft blues, greens, or neutrals to create a soothing atmosphere and incorporate natural elements like houseplants or wooden accents to bring a touch of the outdoors in.

Soft, textured fabrics for your chair and any additional seating can enhance comfort and reduce stress. Minimal clutter is essential for a tranquil space, so invest in storage solutions that keep your workspace organised

Find your calm

Create a serene spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom with carefully chosen décor. Soft, neutral tones and natural materials are key to achieving a tranquil space.

Try incorporating plush towels and in calming hues like white, grey, or beige and introduce natural elements through plants, such as a small orchid or bamboo to bring a touch of the outdoors in.

Here, a Faux Wood blinds adds warmth and character to the room, while providing practical light control. With a wipe-clean finish, it's are ideal for bathrooms and areas that are subject to excess moisture.

 

Green with envy

To complement the relaxed ambiance, we've chosen a casual pencil pleat header for the curtains. This uncomplicated style allows the focus to remain on the room's natural beauty. The stand-out fabric adds a touch of sophistication, elevating the overall look while maintaining the laid-back feel.
