What Does This Mean In Your Home?

Your Design Influences

Effortless coastal elegance with a dash of creativity. This style draws from the vast blues of the ocean, and bright tones of fish and coral from our famous Great Barrier Reef.
You’re inspired by Art Deco with its bold and contrasting colours.

A collection of design and paint sample swatches, a black utility knife, a small orange woven accessory, a gray cleaning brush, and a vintage red rotary telephone on a colorful geometric-patterned surface.

Your Colour Palette

Seafoam, pebble greys and deep navy balance light and depth. Whites are lighter colours with a warm undertone. You use pops of sunset oranges, ultramarine and reds to highlight unique details.

A cozy living room with blue walls, white window shades, a gray sofa with striped pillows, a blue armchair, decorative soft pottery on the floor, a large patterned ottoman with a wooden tray, and a bouquet of white flowers on top.

Furniture & Shapes

Organic forms with gentle symmetry. Be inspired by the movement of water, wind and aquatic life. Open plan spaces keep the room feeling expansive and engages outdoors.

How To Implement This Style?

Use pattern to add colour and drama. Choose pieces that echo the ocean. Keep the palette pale, but never cold.

Start with a traditional base like a white or blue sofa, then look for opportunities to inject your personality. For example, a unique cabinet handle or colourful lamp that looks abstract. Maybe add a vibrant trim to ordinary drapery/sheers. Most people choose the complete scheme for the best result.

To create this look you’ll need:

✔ Complementary materials

✔ A cohesive colour palette

✔ Furniture that works together
