Rolling Seas is what a beach house looks like when nobody is trying too hard. Weathered timber, white flowers that never need water, a round mirror catching the light, and a room that smells good when you walk in.
The edit brings together recycled teak benches and round stools from our Flux Home range, faux white orchids, tulips and a potted cactus from Artificial Flora, organic ceramic vases from Ned Collections including the Boban, Bernie and Harmie shapes, the Yuri table lamp and the Umbra HUB round mirror. Ecoya reed diffusers and Madison Jar candles, the Juniper Berry and Mint kitchen hand wash and the Tahitian Lime and Grapefruit kitchen gift set take care of scent in the living room and at the bench.
To get the look, keep floors and walls pale, then add warmth with timber in a raw or black finish. For more in the same spirit, browse our coastal collection.
How do I get a coastal look without it feeling themed?
Skip the anchors and seashell prints. Use a pale base, natural timber, white ceramics and a few soft greens, then add texture through linen, woven pieces and rough-finished wood. The coast should be a mood rather than a motif.
What sizes do the recycled teak benches come in?
Our recycled teak range includes a small bench of about 40 x 20 x 39cm in natural or black, an 80cm bench, a long bench for an entryway and a round stool. Recycled timber varies in grain and colour, so each piece is slightly different.
Which Ecoya products suit a coastal home?
Fresh, clean notes work well. Put the Juniper Berry and Mint kitchen hand wash or the Tahitian Lime and Grapefruit kitchen gift set at the sink, and an Ecoya reed diffuser in the living room, where it scents the space without a flame.
How do I keep faux orchids looking real?
Choose realistic stems, such as the 76cm Real Touch White Moth Orchid, and style them in a ceramic pot rather than clear glass. Dust them regularly with a soft brush or a hairdryer on cool, and keep them out of harsh sun to protect the colour.
