Designing a space can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing especially when trends are constantly coming and going. At RS Living, we’re bringing a fresh perspective to home design by creating timeless, functional pieces that adapt to the way you live. Here are a few of our current inspirations – that provide simple ways to refresh your home while keeping that effortless feel. 


1. Earthy Tones and Natural Textures

Close your eyes and picture warm terracotta, sage green, sand and clay tones, woven fibers. What emotions do these elements evoke? Do they provide a sense of calm and grounding sensation? We think so too. To make it your own, try pairing organic fabrics with light filtering window shades that provide the perfect amount of warm light. Add ceramic decor and natural wood pieces beside linen textiles to create a natural environment with functional appeal. The natural materials are durable, comfortable, and easy to maintain while creating a calm, livable atmosphere.


2. Mixed Materials and Soft Contrasts  

Mixed materials are a great way to create balance in any space. This can be accomplished by combining smooth and textured pieces, soft versus structured shapes, and matte or gloss finishes. Together, these details will create a space that feels cohesive, modern, and full of life, Envision your living room with a cozy blanket or throw over a tan leather accent chair, a combination of metal accents and natural fibers, and to pull it all together – a consistent use of color families you love to keep it cohesive. 


3. Smart and Sustainable Design

Intentional living involves curating pieces that are efficient for your lifestyle and are long-lasting. Rather than chasing quick seasonal trends, focus on pieces that look good, serve a purpose, and endure. Pieces such as solid wood bring warmth and durability. Quality fabrics offer comfort and everyday resilience. Add soft neutral or muted tones that create calm and flexibility. Thoughtful designs evolve with you, so you can enjoy your space without the need to redecorate again and again.

 

It is all about balance and beauty that works for you. Make choices that align with your lifestyle. The most important thing is that you feel comforted and at home in your space.
