A casual, cool loft space mixes natural elements such as flowering branches; fun hues of lilac, garnet, and pale pink; and rich textures (note the plentiful sheepskin rugs). The space is featured in Emily Henson’s Life Unstyled: How to Embrace Imperfection and Create a Home You Love (Ryland Peters and Small, 2016), in which the stylist and author reminds us that there’s beauty not just in the “pristine and polished” but also in making “the most of the home you have.” So feel free to mix and match decor for a quirky and collected vibe: try glass blower Joe Cariati’s smoky blue vase, brilliant red tea cups with curlicue handles, and a whimsical lantern in bubble gum pink. Does the space, after bringing together various eras and styles, feel a bit like an eclectic mishmash? Well done, that’s the point.
