In uncertain times, our home moves centre stage. Now more than ever, interior spaces are meeting functional and emotional needs. In other words, emotion is becoming a primary function. love of home conveys security and safety, while at the same time providing delight as well as scope for our personal tastes. It’s a discerning theme that clears away anything that seems superfluous or too cold. It presents itself in velvety colours and carefully selected objects that create a long-term feeling of well-being: for an intimate and dreamy interior environment where we can happily spend a lot of time. It is also clearly structured, with a sense of the essential that has nothing to do with asceticism.

Warm vintage colours such as peach, blush, washed-out forget-me-not blue, nude and nectar yellow create a comforting, intimate atmosphere. Reminiscent of brightly coloured summer meadows, wrapped in rich golden sunlight, come to mind. These soothing colours with their nostalgic appeal are outlined by radiant white, dark liquorice and mint, which bring freshness, clarity and structure.

The materials, too, radiate well-being and comfort. Floral decorations and romantic motifs offer an invitation to dream in the here and now. The look is cosy and pleasing, but not too luxurious – simply suitable for the setting. Straightforward but sophisticated: cushions and throws with ruffled trims, glass vases with iridescent surfaces.

love of home focuses on the place where we not only enjoy a good night’s sleep. It’s also where we may work on project costings in our home office, practice yoga with our online teacher, share dinner with the whole family and, possibly, celebrate a Japanese tea ceremony at a lovingly set table. The interior experience is rounded off by our favourite room fragrance, which, with its selected essences, continually reminds us where we are – at home.
