Aquamarine
A
quamarine is a style that updates
the traditional maritime feeling.
Living close to the sea is a dream
for many people; the sea’s
fantastic underwater world is a major
source of inspiration.
Watercolour techniques, with colours
running into each other, are used on
prints and bring fabrics alive. Wood is the
most dominant material for furniture in
this style. White-painted garden furniture
is perfect for the patio, but grey-coloured
‘driftwood’ wooden furniture is becoming
increasingly popular. The style is very
Nordic and plays to our deep love of the
sea and our fleeting summers.

The classic marine style is being given
a blue-green makeover. Varying blue,
green and turquoise colours are an
inspiring colour map that we team with
white for the summer. Blue-and-white
is the summer’s strongest mix – on
everything from chinaware to furniture.
Blue seems to be one of the most popular
colours on upholstered furniture ahead of
next season.
