1. Sandstone Sunroom with Woven Warmth
Imagine a sunroom bathed in soft sand-beige walls and terracotta floor tiles. A low, slipcovered linen sofa in mushroom taupe anchors the space, piled with camel and sage pillows.
Woven elements steal the show: a rattan coffee table, bamboo blinds, and a cluster of seagrass baskets on the wall. Add a terracotta pot with a fig tree and a jute rug instant, sun-drenched serenity.
2. Forest-Nook Reading Room
Deep moss green walls and warm waxed pine shelves create a cocooning nook. A vintage leather chair in aged chestnut sits under a brass pharmacy lamp.
Layer a kilim footstool, a striped wool throw, and a stack of linen-bound novels. Finish with a raw-edge wood side table and a ceramic mug for that lived-in library charm.
3. River-Stone Entryway Retreat
Start with a pebble-gray board-and-batten wall and slate floor tiles. A weathered bench with oatmeal cushions sets the tone, with hooks above for straw hats and linen tote bags.
Underneath, two wicker bins corral shoes. A round mirror with a driftwood frame bounces light simple, tidy, and beautifully earthy.
4. Clay & Cream Farmhouse Kitchen
Picture creamy shaker cabinets against a backsplash of hand-pressed clay tiles in soft terracotta. Open oak shelves display stoneware bowls and rolled linen napkins.
A butcher-block island with vintage brass pulls keeps it grounded. Add a runner in rust and ivory and a bundle of eucalyptus in a burled vase for soft, herbal freshness.
5. Hearthside Living Room in Mushroom & Maple
A stone fireplace takes center stage, wrapped in a chunky maple mantel. The palette? Mushroom taupe, maple wood, and smoky charcoal accents.
A plush sofa in nubby oatmeal sits with plaid pillows, a maple coffee table, and a ceramic jug of dried grasses. Iron sconces add a warm, ember glow at dusk.
6. Sage-Garden Cottage Bedroom
Walls in breezy sage and a whitewashed iron bed pile high with quilted layers in fern, ivory, and soft clay. A reclaimed bedside table holds a stone lamp with a linen shade.
Underfoot, a faded Persian rug in olive and rust ties everything together. Finish with a basket of lavender and a lightweight flax curtain fluttering in the breeze.
7. Honey-Pine Dining with Pottery Accents
A long honey-pine table with spindle-back chairs sets a family-friendly tone. Overhead, a woven drum pendant casts a gentle light.
Style the table with a runner in natural linen, stacked speckled ceramics, and a chunky terracotta vase of wildflowers. Warm, welcoming, and ready for stew nights.
8. Pebble & Linen Guest Room
Soft pebble gray walls pair with crisp white bedding and a heavy linen duvet in warm stone. A cane headboard adds airy texture.
A trunk-turned-nightstand holds a glass carafe, while botanical prints in black frames bring contrast. A braided jute rug softens every step.
9. Amber Glow Fireplace Lounge
Think cozy den: paneled walls in putty, amber-glazed pottery on the mantel, and caramel velvet armchairs. A wool plaid throw drapes over a bench seat under the window.
Light with beeswax candles and a metal lantern. The mood is golden hour, all evening long.
10. Olive & Oak Pantry Perfection
Floor-to-ceiling pantry shelves painted deep olive cradle glass jars and woven baskets. Oiled oak countertops add warmth and utility.
A runner in earthy stripes and a peg rail with linen aprons elevate the everyday. Quiet, purposeful, and rustic-chic.
11. Terracotta Garden Bath
Terracotta hex tiles set a sunbaked base, balanced by cream beadboard and a freestanding clawfoot tub. Brass fixtures patinate beautifully over time.
Add potted herbs on a stool, a waffle cotton bath sheet in stone, and a clay soap dish. It’s a cottage spa, with Mediterranean soul.
12. Driftwood-Coastal Sitting Room
Airy but grounded: driftwood-gray floors, white slipcovered chairs, and sandy linen curtains. A reclaimed wood console holds shell-toned ceramics and beach glass.
Layer in a striped rug in oatmeal and stone. A rope-wrapped lamp brings soft coastal texture without going full nautical.
13. Charcoal & Wheat Media Nook
Matte charcoal built-ins frame the TV, while a wheat-toned sectional keeps it cozy. A chunky knit throw and leather poufs invite movie-night lounging.
Style shelves with stacked books, matte black frames, and stoneware vases. The vibe is moody-cottage meets modern comfort.
14. Rustic Study in Umber & Ink
Walls in umber create a grounded backdrop for a vintage writing desk and iron task lamp. A rug in inky blue and rust adds depth.
Wood crates store papers, while a corkboard with linen cover keeps notes tidy. It’s scholarly without feeling stiff.
15. Blackberry & Clay Breakfast Nook
A built-in banquette upholstered in clay-colored linen hugs a round pedestal table. Accent with berry-hued cushions think blackberry and plum for earthy richness.
Above, a pleated shade pendant in natural fiber glows warmly. Hang botanical fruit prints for that cheerful cottage café moment.
16. Meadow-Layered Kids’ Room
Soft buttercream walls with hand-painted meadow motifs grasses, tiny florals, maybe a rabbit or two. A spindle bed in pale sage keeps it sweet and simple.
Storage baskets in seagrass, a braided wool rug, and a low book ledge complete the look. It’s playful, not precious.
17. Clay Plaster Gallery Hall
A narrow hallway gets elevated with clay-plaster walls in a warm beige blush and oil-rubbed bronze picture lights. Black-and-white family photos sit in mismatched wood frames.
A slim runner in rust and sand draws you through. The texture on the walls does the heavy lifting subtle, luxurious, earthy.
18. Stone & Spruce Mudroom
Spruce-green cabinetry with beadboard doors hides the clutter. Slate-look porcelain floors are durable and handsome.
Add shaker pegs for coats, a live-edge bench, and labeled baskets. A striped, scrub-friendly runner keeps the outdoors in check.
19. Warm Clay Craft Corner
An under-stair alcove turns into a crafting haven with warm clay paint and a butcher-block desk. Pegboard organizes scissors, twine, and little jars of buttons.
A stool with a woven seat and a task sconce make it functional. A vase of dried lunaria adds soft shine and texture.
20. Oak & Oatmeal Primary Suite
Keep it restful with oatmeal linen bedding, layered quilts in fawn and ivory, and an oak four-poster bed. Nightstands in barley-toned wood hold ceramic lamps.
Hang pinch-pleat curtains in natural linen and place an oversized jute rug underfoot. A eucalyptus wreath above the headboard adds scent and subtle color.
21. Espresso & Clay Wine Corner
Create a tiny tasting zone with espresso-stained shelves, a clay-toned wall, and a marble-topped bistro table. Cane-backed stools keep it airy.
Style with stone coasters, amber glassware, and a bowl of figs. It’s intimate, earthy, and perfect for slow sips.
- Pro tip: Mix 3 – 4 earthy tones per space think sage, clay, sand, and wood for harmony.
- Layer natural textures like jute, linen, wool, and wood to add dimension.
- Use warm metals (brass, bronze) sparingly to keep that cozy glow.
