1. Space Age in aubergine and mustard
Style: Space AgeColours: Aubergine, Mustard, Chrome, Orange
Shop the Look
Space Age is the style of 1960s space-race enthusiasm: round windows, shiny chrome, spheres and arches. This room feels like a lounge in a spaceship flying straight into the sunset.
The aubergine velvet sofa is bold, but its warm colour makes it cosy. The mustard sheepskin is its perfect counterpart. Purple and yellow sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and make each other glow. Chrome, glass globes and the small mushroom lamp complete the Space Age story.
How to get the look
- Use a dark, warm colour like aubergine for the largest piece and keep the walls light.
- Complementary colours create the wow effect: purple and yellow, blue and orange.
- Chrome and glass reflect light, so a bold room still feels light.
- Globe-shaped lights are the easiest Space Age reference.
Right for you if you want to stand out, love retro design and aren't afraid of colour.
2. Modern organic in sage green and terracotta
Style: Modern OrganicColours: Sage green, Terracotta, Travertine, Acacia
Shop the Look
This room shows how bold modern organic can be. Instead of white and beige, terracotta limewashed walls set the mood, as if you were standing in a house by the Mediterranean.
The curved sage-green sofa is the cool counterpoint to the warm walls. Green and terracotta work so well together because both come from nature, like olive leaves against a clay wall. The Berber rug picks up the terracotta tones, while the wavy wooden coffee table and the travertine-look side table add soft, natural shapes.
How to get the look
- Lime plaster or limewash gives walls a lively, cloudy texture that shifts with the light.
- A patterned rug can pick up the wall colour, so the room feels all of a piece.
- A curved sofa looks best floating in the room, not pushed against the wall.
- Large clay pots and plants add to the holiday feeling.
Right for you if you love warm colours and natural materials and want your living room to feel like a holiday home.
3. A 70s lounge in rust, blush and mustard
Style: Space Age with a 70s twistColours: Rust, Blush, Mustard, Gold, Cream
Shop the Look
Welcome to the 70s, only prettier. The sunken seating area beneath the arches recalls the legendary conversation pits of that era: seating wells where you sink in together and talk for hours.
The rust corduroy sofa is the warm centrepiece, while the blush velvet armchair on a gold base adds glamour. Rust, pink and mustard are typical 70s colours. Together they look surprisingly harmonious because all three are warm. The gold arc lamp and the light block coffee table combine retro with modern clarity.
How to get the look
- Corduroy is back: hard-wearing, soft and instantly 70s.
- Combine only warm colours. Then even three strong shades work side by side.
- Shiny surfaces like lacquer or brass amplify warm light in the evening.
- A swivel chair is perfect for conversation because it can turn to everyone.
Right for you if you love vintage, like having friends over and enjoy things warm and a little wild.
4. A green glamour salon in Hollywood Regency style
Style: Hollywood RegencyColours: Emerald, Gold, Marble white, Black
Shop the Look
Hollywood Regency is the style of old film stars: a little glamour, a little theatre and plenty of confidence. In this salon, the dark green wall sets the mood. It makes gold glow warmly and the room especially cosy in the evening.
The forest-green Chesterfield armchair echoes the wall colour. Gold details on the bar cart, mirror and ceiling light add shine. White marble and a graphic black-and-white rug keep the look fresh, so it never feels old-fashioned.
How to get the look
- Start with the wall: dark green looks best matt and across a whole wall.
- Use gold sparingly. Three or four gold accents are enough, otherwise it quickly gets too much.
- A large round mirror makes a dark room brighter and look bigger.
- A bar cart is decoration and storage in one, perfect for an empty corner.
Right for you if you love having guests, enjoy candlelight and aren't afraid of dark colours.
5. A light modern organic living room
Style: Modern OrganicColours: Cream, Oatmeal, Travertine, Rust
Shop the Look
Modern organic combines clean, modern shapes with natural materials. Everything feels soft, light and a little like a holiday.
The cream corner sofa is the calm centre. Around it, round shapes repeat: the fluted coffee table, the small hourglass side table and the round wool rug. The rattan arc lamp adds warmth, the olive tree a bit of life. A single rust accent on the throw is enough to keep the room from feeling bland.
How to get the look
- Repeat curves: when table, rug and lamp are round, the room automatically feels softer.
- Mix surfaces like wool, rattan, stone and wood. That makes light rooms interesting.
- Add one warm accent colour like rust or terracotta, but only in one or two places.
- One large plant replaces almost any decoration.
Right for you if you're looking for calm, love light rooms and like it cosy but not cluttered.
6. A colourful mid-century dining corner
Style: Mid-CenturyColours: Navy, Mustard, White, Walnut
Shop the Look
Mid-century stands for design from the 1950s and 60s: clean shapes, slim legs and cheerful colours. Here, dark blue velvet chairs meet a rug with mustard-yellow fields.
Blue and yellow are a classic pair: the blue calms, the yellow lifts the mood. The round table with its light top lets the colours shine. The globe ceiling light and the arc lamp bring typical retro flair, and a walnut sideboard in the background grounds it all.
How to get the look
- A round table is ideal for small dining areas because nobody has to sit at a corner.
- Dark colours like blue are practical for velvet chairs because stains show less.
- The rug under the table should be big enough for the chairs to stay on it when pulled out.
- Hang the light about 60 to 80 cm above the tabletop.
Right for you if you love hosting, adore colour and want a dining area with character.
7. A calm bedroom between Japandi and Hygge
Style: Japandi meets HyggeColours: Greige, Oatmeal, Walnut, Terracotta
Shop the Look
This bedroom feels like a hug: soft shapes, warm natural tones and hardly anything to distract you. Japandi brings calm and order, Hygge brings cosiness.
The low upholstered bed with its quilted headboard looks like a cloud and is perfect for leaning against. The walnut sideboard with cane webbing adds a touch of retro, while the paper lamp spreads soft light. The sheepskin by the bed makes the first step in the morning a warm one. Terracotta on the throw is the only strong accent.
How to get the look
- Stick to three or four natural tones and repeat them in bedding, wood and wall colour.
- Low furniture makes a bedroom feel bigger and calmer.
- Soft light instead of a harsh ceiling lamp: a table lamp and a pendant are plenty in the evening.
- Cane and linen add texture without feeling busy.
Right for you if you mainly want to switch off in your bedroom and love natural materials.
How to find your look
You don't have to buy all five products at once. Start with the piece that excites you most, often the sofa or the lamp. Then add rug, table and decoration step by step.
What matters is that the colours go together and repeat around the room. Then even a room that comes together over months looks all of a piece.
Shop the Look: frequently asked questions
What does Shop the Look mean?
Shop the Look means you see a fully furnished room and can buy the furniture and lighting from it directly. Below each image you'll find the products shown in the room.
Are the room images real photos?
No, they are AI room studies based on the real product photos. Colours and shapes are close to the originals, but details may differ. The retailer's details are what count.
How do I combine bold colours without overdoing it?
Choose one main colour for the largest piece and a complementary colour for small accents. Keep walls or floor fairly calm. Repeat every colour at least twice in the room, and it will look intentional.
Do I have to buy every product to get the look?
No. Two or three key pieces like the sofa and the lamp are often enough. You can fill in the rest with things you already own.
