Rich Accent Hues

A touch of colour can completely transform the mood of a space, elevating a neutral palette and imbuing richness and depth to a pared-back interior. You don’t need bright hues to discover the power of colour in your home. In fact, keeping to more muted tones, with versatile pieces such as blankets and throws, can make an elegant style statement with minimal fuss.     Colour palette: Linen in Kali, Nox and Petra with a Crush Merino Blanket in Oro.   The first consideration when introducing colourful accents in the overarching palette of a room. A grey, concrete interior can be enlivened and rejuvenated with a pop of colour such as Oro, our soft and muted saffron hue. Golden, mustard tones work beautifully with greys, with an indulgent layering of Brun, Russo and Sable effectively bringing warmth to a cool, contemporary scheme.    Featuring: Colour palette of Brun (back pillow) Maiz and Russo (front pillows) Sable base.    In this beautiful, textural interior project by Arent&Pyke, warm, earthy tones from our pure linen collection create an ambient glow amid brick, concrete, and cool, grey tones. Our Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Maiz and Russo and our Flocca Linen Body Cushion in Brun tie in with accents of terracotta and timber throughout the home.    If you are starting from scratch, consider the room’s existing finishes such as timber floors, carpet, walls, and other larger surfaces. Do you want your palette to be warm and cosy or cool and soothing? Furniture such as a sofa or armchair in a moody hue can make a bold statement, however the simple addition of textiles such as bed linen, throws and cushions can also have a big impact while allowing you to experiment with different looks and combinations.   Discover these popular colour stories from our collection:   Linen palette of Bere (top left) Rosa (bottom right) and Brun with a Crush Double Throw in Moro/Floss.     Linen Palette of Mare (top left), Argent (bottom right) and a Flocca Macaron Cushion in Roy and Crush Double Throw in Kali/Petra.     Linen Palette of Russo (top left), Brun (bottom right) and Carmel with a Crush Linen Throw in Armee.

A Masterclass in Pillows

Pillows and cushions are a simple and versatile way to elevate your bedroom or refresh your space with a new look, with many variations to mix, match and layer. Here, our stylist shares some expert tips and tricks to create an inviting bedscape that exudes elegance and comfort.     Standard Pillows and Cushions   From classic pillows to bolsters and scatter cushions, there are plenty of options available when it comes to styling these versatile bedroom accessories. Here are a few of our go-to ideas for achieving a timeless look that can be easily adapted to suit your interior design scheme.       The king of relaxed bed styling: The body cushion     Featuring: Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Petra, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Sable and Flocca Linen Body Cushion in Floss. Position 1-2 standard pillows upright rather than laying them flat, which will likely result in your pillows and body cushion sitting at the same height and appearing odd from your bed’s side profile. Your two upright pillows will frame your body cushion as they are a fraction taller, and will work to best effect if chosen in a contrasting colour.     The classic combo: Flocca Linen Cushion (50 x 50cm) & Basix Stripe Cushion   Featuring: Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Russo, Basix Stripe Cushion on Brun/Sable and Flocca Linen Cushion in Brun. This classic look is perfectly proportioned and works well with standard pillows, both upright or flat. Sit your 50 x 50cm cushion just off-centre to one side and your 40 x 60cm cushion in the centre, overlapping the front of the other by approximately half. You could also consider swapping the 40 x 60cm cushion for a bolster cushion or the 50 x 50cm for a Euro for that extra wow factor – the same styling applies.     Two’s company: A matching pair    Featuring: Flocca Linen Pillowcase (back) in Carmel, Basix Linen Pillowcases in Petra and Basix Bolster Cushion in Brun/Sable. This look features two of the same cushions symmetrically positioned at the front of your pillows, creating a timeless and cohesive look. While this style can work with flat pillows, the look will have the best impact when created with standard pillows that are positioned upright. Try 50 x 50cm sizing for a classic aesthetic or a bolster or striped 40 x 60cm cushion for a more personalised pairing.       Arranging with Euros Traditionally, European pillows, or Euros, are positioned at the back followed by standard pillows at the front. Large and decorative, they make an elegant addition to any bedroom as well as offering comfort and support. Here are some handy tips on how they can be used to effortlessly elevate your look.   Try bringing your Euros to the front and standard pillows to the back. This will help give your bed a volumising lift without loading up with scatter cushions. Be sure to have a nice amount of standard pillows showing at each end of the bed to frame your Euros and create symmetry. You can also add a body cushion for a further layer of texture and colour.    Featuring: Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Mare, Flocca European Pillowcases in Argent and Flocca Linen Body Cushion in Floss.     Introduce scatter/throw cushions. Your Euros will look best at the back when including a cushion taller than, or propped up higher than, your standard pillows. In the instance where you have shorter cushions such as a 40 x 60cm or a bolster, you may want to move your Euros in front of your standard-sized pillows to avoid a waterfall effect (tall to short pillows) which can make your whole bed appear as though it’s sloping down.    Featuring: Flocca European Linen Pillowcases in Tempest, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Tempest and Flocca Linen Cushion in Bere.     Go for a grand, traditional look with Euros placed at the back. This works particularly well on a king bed. Two to three is the optimum number, with king standard pillows advised and taller cushion clusters recommended to balance the length. Alternatively, positioning king standard pillows at the back and two Euros at the front will add elegance and height.   Featuring: Flocca European Pillowcases in Russo and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Rosa.   For more inspiration on how to style your pure linen bedding, and to explore inviting color combinations for your bedroom and living spaces,  visit Shop Our Style.

Project Feature: A Modernist Toorak Mansion

Imbuing a highly contemporary space with softness and warmth takes skill and creativity,  qualities innate to the interior design team at Flack Studio who have achieved an inviting balance of sleek modernism and colorful character in this stunning Toorak residence. Blending streamlined finishes and elevated materials with personalized accents, this new build exudes a warm, textural minimalism that is both modernist and classic.   Interiors: @flackstudio_ | Architecture:@blightblightandblight | Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell | via: @bellemagazineau The brief was for a considered family home that would get better with age, fit harmoniously into its surrounds – a neighborhood renowned for its architectural history – and maximize its aspect by creating a strong connection to the outdoors. Collaborating with architect Richard Blight of Blight, Blight and Blight, David Flack of Flack Studio took inspiration from the suburban landscape as well as the daily habits of the residents, a couple with three young adult children who enjoy cooking, reading and spending time together.   Interiors: @flackstudio_ | Architecture:@blightblightandblight | Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell | via: @bellemagazineauDesigned to support the family’s lifestyle, the home’s seamless flow and voluminous proportions were carefully considered, the team utilizing a selection of materials including black steel, grey render and natural stone as well as timber joinery and aged brass fixtures that would continue to improve aesthetically over time. Color-wise, the objective was to offer a tonal palette throughout the building while harnessing bursts of color in the powder room and library. Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the centre of the home, a dark American oak staircase with an organic, fluid form creates a dramatic sculptural feature, introducing a natural warmth and texture to a cool white palette and travertine floor tiles. Tactile accents and vintage pieces add personalised touches, with a thoughtful curation of décor, art, furniture and lighting elevating each space with a sense of understated luxury that eliminates the need for fussy ornamentation and embellishments.    Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the powder room, floor-to-ceiling green marble tiles and a custom marble basin create a striking scheme, with sophisticated aged-brass fixtures carrying through from the kitchen and dressing room. In the library, the colorful spines of hundreds of books enliven the American oak shelves, while large windows are strategically positioned to maximize natural light and views of the garden.    Interiors: @flackstudio_  | Architecture:@blightblightandblight  |  Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell  |  via: @bellemagazineau   In the master bedroom, a striking leather bedhead is complemented by pure linen bedding in our softened and muted mulberry shade Moro, with pieces from our signature Flocca range including our Flocca Linen Duvet Cover and Flocca European Linen Pillowcases lending an earthy richness to this elegant space. Layered over pure linen sheets and pillows in our warm and sandy Sable hue, Moro adds just the right amount of sumptuous color, with the exquisitely hand-tufted edges of our Flocca range offering a subtle, textural detail in fitting with the home’s commitment to quiet indulgence.   Interiors: @flackstudio_ | Architecture:@blightblightandblight | Photography: ⁠@smartanson + @derek_swalwell | via: @bellemagazineauFeaturing: Flocca Linen Duvet in Moro, Flocca Linen Euro pillowcase in Moro, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Moro, Basix Linen Pillowcases in Sable and Basix Linen Fitted Sheet in Sable.   Explore our scrumptious collection of Moro and try pairing Sable/Brun Stripe pillowcases and accessories with Sable sheets, as well as a Crush Linen Blanket in Quill for added textural and tonal appeal.

Styling a Monochrome Palette

Styling a Monochrome Palette

There are few interior schemes more classic and adaptable than monochrome. Inherently elegant, this timeless look creates a calm and cohesive appearance that works in almost any home, from traditional to contemporary, with a tonal ombre effect that can be both moody and sophisticated or soothing and subtle. Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Fog, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Ayrton, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Tempest and Flocca European Pilowcases in Roy. While styling a monochrome scheme may seem simple, the use of similar hues across floors, walls, soft furnishings and decor can easily come across as stark, cold or otherwise inviting when the space is lacking in texture, natural materials, and thoughtful details that imbue warmth and elevate the look with hints of understated luxury. The key to mastering monochrome lies in layering, starting with a base colour on the walls which can then be complemented by soft furnishings to enhance your palette. Layering textures can prevent the space from looking flat, while accent pieces such as lighting, mirrors, plaster features and unique furniture can also help to lift a neutral, monochrome scheme. Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Petra, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Sable and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Petra and Sable. In the stunning Armadale home of architect Rob Mills, elegant and uninterrupted spaces have been achieved by emphasising subtle colour changes and luxurious materials and finishes. In the bedroom, our Flocca Linen Duvet in Nox and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Nox and Sable lend tactile beauty and warmth, with delicately hand-tufted edges and a subtle melange softening a contemporary interior space. Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Nox and Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Sable in Nox. A characteristic of monochrome interiors is a sense of simplicity, with natural materials – from cool marble to warm and textural linen – adding interest and balance without being overpowering. Carrying a similar colour palette throughout a room creates the perfect backdrop for standout pieces such as a unique side table or much-loved vase to be showcased, while pure linen bedding offers the perfect opportunity to build tonal layers that bring a sumptuous, lived-in quality to a modern monochrome look.

Mediterranean Style

The Mediterranean has long had an influence on the world of design, and it’s easy to see why. Synonymous with the good life, the region evokes leisurely days filled with sun and sea, a place rich in history, culture and tradition, and with a glorious climate that lends itself to a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Rooted in centuries of life along one of the world’s most captivating coastlines, this look has classic appeal yet can be easily adapted in more contemporary ways. Via @ad_magazine,Santorini, Greece. Photography @niallkelly18  Homes in the Mediterranean are designed to complement their surroundings, with locally sourced stone and terracotta alongside woven baskets and handmade ceramics. A strong sense of craftsmanship pervades, and the overall sentiment is one of unhurriedness and embracing a slower pace. These homes are made to be lived in, with a focus on open, light-filled spaces, natural materials, and a connection to the outdoors. Thankfully, channelling the carefree feeling of a summer vacation at home doesn't require an Italian villa or a Balearic island getaway. Architectural features aside, the essence of Mediterranean design has some key characteristics that are easy to achieve and work in almost any location, starting with a fresh, light palette. White-washed walls, stone, timber and render coupled with soft curves and organic shapes create a blank canvas to layer raw, tactile materials – clay, linen, rattan and terracotta – that imbue a handmade quality and fuse modern with traditional.   Via @ad_magazine - Photographer @matthieusalvaing Finding a balance so that the look that doesn’t appear ‘themed’ means blending old with new, boho with minimalism. As the Mediterranean is such an eclectic mix of countries and cultures, an eclectic approach to design is key, allowing freedom to adapt this style to suit your interior scheme. There is a focus on pieces that combine functionality with beauty, making spaces highly liveable in a day-to-day environment while offering small moments of pleasure through pieces that elevate everyday routines.In the luxurious, light-filled bathroom of Byron Beach Abodes, the classic dense waffle design of our Flocca Linen Bath Towels add textural appeal and warm contrast to a smooth, white palette reminiscent of classic Mediterranean style. Our pure linen towels make an easy addition to a Mediterranean-inspired scheme, with their breathability, absorbency and fast-drying properties ideal for warmer climates. Our Basix Linen Curtains, alongside a rain shower and freestanding bathtub, further add to the feeling of stepping into a spa-like sanctuary.   The loft bedroom in The Cabin.
