It never ceases to amaze me how popular coastal style is with people who live way beyond the reaches of the coastline. But the thing is, you’re not just buying into an interiors aesthetic when you choose to bring this style into your home or garden, you’re buying into a feeling, and a way of life.
Coastal design brings with it a sense of calm, escapism, and a reverence for nature that I think is perfectly captured in MADE.COM’s new summer range. The Sea & Shore Collection is inspired specifically by the Kent coastline.
Where this style can sometimes lean a little on cliché, MADE.COM’s offering brings a sophisticated, design-led approach to the aesthetic. Think soft but elevated coastal colours, organic yet polished forms, and even design-forward glass lighting and tableware that’s reminiscent of seaglass.
It’s a collection with the spirit of the calm escapism of the coast, without having to play it safe.
The collection covers a lot of ground, from indoor to outdoor furniture, lighting to tableware, but I’ve handpicked some of my very favourite pieces to set the tone for what you can expect.
