Focus on Green
Colour not only has the ability to transform the look and feel of a room, but it can also have a profound effect on our mood and experience within a space. The colour green is well known for its calming properties, believed to soothe and comfort due to being a biophilic hue. After blue, green is the second most prevalent colour found in the natural world, and it’s a colour we associate with fields, forests and fertile landscapes. Green is also the colour of healing, growth and renewal.
Our signature range of hues features four exclusive shades of green, all taking inspiration from nature to offer an earthy, adaptable palette that layers effortlessly with both neutrals and rich tones. At the softer end of the spectrum, Argent is a silvery sage reminiscent of the lovable Lamb’s-ear perennial. This gentle hue pairs beautifully with oceanic Mare and the muted black melange of Nox, as well as imbuing subtle colour when layered with light and airy staples Petra and Sable.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Argent, Crush Linen Throw in Argent Melange paired with Sable.
Colour Palette from top to bottom: Nox, Petra, Argent and KaliMare is an oceanic hue that fills the space between green and blue. Coupled with the dusty cornflower blue of Roy or silvery Argent, Mare evokes a serene coastal scheme, while lending exquisite, understated colour to neutrals Petra and Sable. To add richness and depth to this subtle shade, layer Mare with chocolate-hued Bere for a decadent bedscape that is both grounding and luxurious.
Featuring: Flocca Macaron Cushion in Mare, Basix Stripe Pillowcase and Basix Stripe Cushion in Mare/Bere paired with Bere and Roy.Armee is one of our most coveted hues, a deep, rich khaki reminiscent of lush remote pastures. This versatile green works in a wide range of combinations, whether adding rich colour to Sable and Petra or paired with the sandy grey melange of Kali for a sophisticated look. Try layering Armee with blue shades of Fog and Fonda for a soothing, nature-inspired palette, or create a harmonious contrast with soft, feminine Floss. You can also design a sumptuous bedscape by layering Armee with Brun, our rich toffee tone.

Designed by Yasmine Ghoniem, director of YSG Studio, the seaside sanctuary has been cleverly reimagined with an inviting combination of playfulness and sophistication so that those who walk in are instantly transported to a neverending summer.

Overlooking Pittwater on Sydney’s northern beaches, and with a sweeping vista that extends to the Central Coast, the home’s sunny interior would be right at home in Mexico or the Mediterranean. A warm, layered palette effortlessly melds everything from earthy pinks and burnt orange to vibrant reds and zesty citrus, while a mix of patterns including striped black and white awnings and checked bathroom tiles add eye-catching yet timeless accents.
LA PALMA 2022 @ysg.studio photography @prueruscoeTexture was a key focus for YSG Studio when designing this beachside home, with French washes adding depth to walls and ceilings, and tumbled marble cobblestone enriching the outdoor spaces.

Refresh, Renew
Your bedroom is the place you go to relax and retreat, a soothing sanctuary conducive to a restful night’s sleep. Choosing pure linen bedding for its natural, breathable and sustainable properties is a great start, however, there are also other ways we can rejuvenate our bedroom to create a space that not only looks beautiful but is also good for our mood, health, and wellbeing.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Argent, Crush Linen Throw in Argent, Sheets, and Curtain in Sable.
Declutter
Keep only the bare essentials next to your bed, removing things like magazines and books, hand creams and cosmetics, and storing them out of sight. Technology can have a negative impact on sleep, so be sure to put your phone, iPad and other electronics into a drawer or ideally another room. Keeping your space uncluttered also makes cleaning and dusting much easier.

Style your bedside table
A simple, hierarchical formula made up of three elements is all you need for an appealing nightstand. Assuming your bedside lamp is the tallest element, the secondary element should be around half the size of the lamp and positioned in front, slightly to one side. The smallest element can be at the very front, slightly overlapping the middle element. Play with shape and texture – a tall, skinny lamp juxtaposed with wider pieces such as a square picture frame and a round bowl or vase, for example. No lamp? Use a vase, a stack of books and a small tray to create tall, wide and small elements.
Shop for a new pillow
Just like bed linen, natural is best when it comes to pillows, so look for cotton, bamboo, wool, or natural latex, as well as feather and down pillows purchased from a reputable supplier. Washing pillows occasionally as per the instructions will help to minimise the build-up of allergens such as dust mites, and be sure to replace them by the date advised on the tag.
Give your duvet insert some time in the sun
As feather and down duvets can’t really be washed, make the most of a clear, sunny day by hanging them out in the fresh air to help kill any nasties. While you’re at it, give your pillows some time outside and wash your mattress protector for a fresh, clean foundation that’s ready to be layered and styled with your pure linen bedding.

Choose calming colours
These might not always be the most obvious choices such as blues, greens and whites. Moody charcoal and darker hues such as Nox and Tempest can be equally calming and allow the eyes to rest, while muted shades of terracotta and our dusty clay Rosa hue can transport you elsewhere. Try incorporating these, along with classic calming hues such as Argent, Fog and Mare, into your bedding scheme.

Focus on Stripes
When it comes to accent patterns, there are few more classic and adaptable options than ticking stripes. Pairing beautifully with other striped pieces and adding interest to block colours and neutral palettes without being overpowering, it is easy to see why this simple design is a timeless staple in stylish interiors around the world.
Image via: House & Garden UK | Photography: Owen GaleTicking was traditionally a utility fabric made from cotton or linen that was used to cover mattresses and pillows. In the centuries before open coil and memory foam, mattresses made from straw, horsehair, feathers and other coarse materials needed a sturdy encasing. The word ‘ticking’ derives from the Latin word tica and the Greek word theka, both meaning covering, with this popular iteration originating in Nîmes, France – hence the name French ticking.
Image via: @moro_dabron | Andreas von Einsiedel for The World of Interiors, October 1996.Today, the classic stripe pattern featured on traditional ticking fabric be seen everywhere from clothing and upholstery to curtains and bedding. This adaptable style not only fits into many areas of the home but also works seamlessly with different decorating schemes. Whether choosing classic blue and white for a nautical nod in a coastal cottage, lending an earthy, romantic touch to a country home with pinks and caramels, or opting for charcoal and cool grey for a contemporary look, stripes are an elegant all-rounder.

Bringing Nature Inside
Creating a strong connection between your home’s indoor spaces and the outdoor world has many benefits, both aesthetic and practical. Inviting nature inside, whether through sunlight, leafy views or natural materials, can also be beneficial to your health and wellbeing, imbuing calm and clarity to your day-to-day routine and encouraging a restful night’s sleep.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Fog, Basix Stripe Euros in Tempest/Fog and Basix Stripe Cushion in Tempest/Fog.One of the most effective ways to create a cohesive relationship with the surrounding landscape is with glazing, which maximises views and natural light. Installing glass in a window or door, whether it be a large, dominating wall, a cleverly positioned skylight, or a subtle pigeonhole window in an unexpected place, can immediately create a feeling of openness in even the smallest of spaces.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Blanket in Sable and Flocca Linen Duvet in Fog.Not only is a lush outlook visually pleasing, but studies also show even brief exposure to natural views can have a restorative effect on mental fatigue.

With a few simple design ideas, you can create a restorative indoor oasis that feels seamlessly connected to nature.

Balance of Whites
Effortlessly fresh and adaptable, an all-white interior scheme offers the ideal backdrop to a calming sleep haven. However, while it provides the perfect foundation to build your dream bedscape, an all-white space can appear flat or sterile unless thoughtful layers of colour and texture are introduced. Elevate a white bedroom by bringing in two to three accent hues, layering the most vibrant tone over a more subtle transition hue from the same colour family or in a complementary hue to balance out the contrast. This serene bedroom, featured in an elegant Brisbane residential project by CLO Studios, is a perfect example of how tonal layering can work beautifully from a base of white.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Ayrton, Flocca Flat Sheet and Pillowcases in Rosa and a Basix Fitted Sheet in Floss.CLO Studios has masterfully balanced Ayrton, our classic antique white hue, with accents of Armee, using Fog and Sable as gentle transition hues. In the second bedroom, Ayrton has been paired with a vibrant Rosa accent, while both shades are complemented by a fitted sheet in the soft pink of Floss.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet, pillowcases in Fog, Basix Linen Fitted Sheet in Fog, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet and Pillowcases in Ayrton, Basix linen Bedskirt in Sable and Crush Linen Throw in Armee.Adding textural elements to a predominantly white space can further imbue depth and cosiness, such as plush and high pile rugs, blankets and statement cushions. For a timeless look, keep to natural materials in neutral colours – think sandy, creamy and taupe rather than optic white – and pieces that have a fleck rather than being flat, which will help pick up the light and shadows. Timber lends warmth and texture, whether through a timber bed frame or a timber bedside table, which can be complemented by the tones chosen in your bedding. If you include darker timber pieces, it is even more important to focus on the accent blend in your bedding. Styled by Tess Thyregod for Inside Out Magazine, This property has achieved this with a combination of Argent, Nox, Floss and white base of Petra.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Petra, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Argent, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Nox and Floss and Floss/Moro Crush Throw (in side table).Find a calming and cohesive balance by picking up similar tones to the timber elsewhere in the room, such as with artwork or a feature chair, and by choosing warm-toned accessories when working with whites and pinks instead of cooler shades such as blue and green which may clash.
Featuring: Flocca Linen Duvet in Petra, Flocca Linen Flat Sheet in Ayrton, Flocca Linen Pillowcases in Petra, Ayrton and Argent and a Crush Linen Throw in Argent.This HMCo pure linen bedscape achieves a harmonious balance by layering Ayrton with Argent accents while Petra works as a gentle transition hue.

Earthy Style
Not to be confused with country style, this look takes an organic, environmental approach to design that places emphasis on natural materials and elements. Earthy style can be influenced by weather and climate, as well as the tones and textures of the outdoor landscape, from trees and lush pastures to clay and stone, even berries and flowers.
Contemporary Scandinavian design is a classic nod to earthy style, with architects and designers often making reference to the landscape and natural features of a region while harnessing these elements in their designs. This can involve using raw timber as cladding, and introducing rich, warm tones to cooler elements of stone and blackened oak.
Mornington House by Studio Esteta I Photography: Sharyn Cairns I Published: The Local Project
The natural, textural qualities of linen make it an obvious choice for earthy style, with linen bedding and accessories imbuing a grounded luxury and sumptuous tactility to a nature-inspired scheme. A gentle, organic palette comprising stone hues, warm neutrals of flax and taupe, and rich browns and rusts is the perfect representation of a slower pace and living in harmony with the natural environment.

Country Style
This timeless look draws from a variety of influences, and while there is no one-style-fits-all formula, inspiration generally comes from the natural and immediate environment. This is why we often see rustic timbers and highly textural materials within this interior scheme. Country style can be interpreted in many ways, including 'homestead style', which melds old-world charm with a sense of grandeur; the quaint, handmade appeal of 'cottage style'; and 'modern country', a sensitive pairing of antique and contemporary elements.
Interior published in Haus Love I Photography: Sarah Sheilds
The key to styling a country theme is the considered layering of objects, homewares and furniture, incorporating vintage finds with rustic pieces in a variety of finishes such as glass, timber and metals. In addition, fabric and soft furnishings play an important role in balancing warmth and texture with cool, smooth surfaces.
The Repose Boutique Accommodation in Dubbo I Photography Abbie Melle I HMCo linen purchased through @the_reposeNo matter which interpretation you prefer, one of the most beautifully suited materials in any country style scheme is linen. With a looser weave than most other fabrics, this natural fibre can be applied everywhere from bedding to furniture. For an effortlessly elegant bedscape, take a tonal approach to layering and focus on textural variety such as a throw or blanket in a highly tactile weave, or include a melange weave for added depth and interest.
