Plus: Win a three-night stay at Cora Hotel & Spa in Greece

Dear Reader,
After a lazy summer it’s time to start revving up for September’s design shows. You may also have children about to fly the nest, back to school and off to university. If they’re feeling anxious, Isabel Dempsey has some design ideas to help them settle in and feel at home in their new surroundings. Had enough of the Cotswolds yet? While we couldn’t get a scoop on JD Vance’s holiday home, we can share Ellen de Generes’ country house aesthetic. At the other end of the style spectrum, Goth is back. Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams in the Netflix series Wednesday will have us lusting after inky hues and jewel-rich velvets.
Lots to look forward to.
Have a great weekend,

Bring The Sun Home With This Tuscan Interiors Trend

With summer drawing to a close, the days are getting noticeably greyer, the air a teensy bit crisper and the nights alarmingly earlier. But don’t let the sight of autumn leaves and blackberries make you feel like you need to let go of that summer holiday magic quite yet. Bring the Mediterranean back home by infusing your space with Tuscan inspired interiors. Luxury interiors expert at LUSSO, Mike Whitfield, gives us the lowdown.
All Organic
Natural and organic materials are integral to Mediterranean design. Embracing imperfection, part of the charm of this aesthetic is watching these organic materials wear and evolve over time, bringing depth and authenticity into your home as they do so. ‘Natural materials create a tactile and visual connection to nature,’ says Mike. ‘Organic materials such as marble and travertine age gracefully, developing character over time, which captures the essence of Mediterranean living.’

Coastal Colours
Drawing inspiration from nature, the Tuscan colour palette is all about creating spaces that feel both calm and characterful. ‘A warm and earthy colour palette is another strong foundation of this style, as it reflects the natural beauty of the Mediterranean landscape,’ says Mike. ‘Neutral tones evoke a sense of warmth and serenity, reminiscent of sun-soaked shores.’ When choosing colours, Mike suggests opting for rich terracottas, warm beiges, soft browns and sky blues.
Bring The Outside In
With their seamless flow between the inside and out, Tuscan interiors bring a sense of peace and calm to your day to day life. As Mike explains, ‘Embracing outdoor living is another key element of Mediterranean style. It creates an inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and enjoyment of nature.’ He recommends incorporating greenery and floor-to-ceiling glass doors which open onto a patio to combine indoor comforts with the tranquility of the outside world. So that your cold British home doesn’t feel too grey and dingy, Mike also suggests enhancing the light in your space by optimising sunlight through large windows or skylights in the kitchen – ‘You could also use sheer curtains that provide a luxury feel and a tranquil ambience.’
