There are moments in design when colour becomes more than a visual choice, it becomes a feeling. This July, we’re embracing the poetic calm of blue tones, weaving them into a curated space that speaks of quiet luxury, sculptural form, and understated refinement.
In this interior inspirational space, nothing is accidental. Each piece was chosen not only for its aesthetic strength, but for its ability to evoke emotion and create balance. From the fluid silhouette of the Tulip Sofa to the grounded elegance of the Dom Sebastião Sideboard, from nature-inspired details to architectural gestures, this composition tells a story of presence, stillness, and grace.
This is a space for those who design with intention. For those who believe that great interiors are not only seen, but felt.
1. Longjing Rug - A Grounding Element with Subtle Depth
Every great space starts from the ground up. The Longjing Rug offers more than just a foundation. It introduces movement, texture, and quiet complexity through its delicate pattern and layered tones of blue and grey.
Inspired by the flowing lines of nature and traditional Chinese tea fields, this rug invites you to pause. Its understated design doesn’t compete for attention; instead, it subtly supports the surrounding pieces, making them shine. The rich fibres and careful craftsmanship enhance the sense of luxury underfoot, while its visual softness adds tranquillity to the space.
In this composition, the Longjing Rug works as a silent protagonist, anchoring the space and creating a gentle visual rhythm that invites exploration.
2. Tulip Sofa - An Embrace of Form and Sensation
Curves are having a moment, and the Tulip Sofa is leading the way. With its sculptural form and enveloping lines, this piece redefines comfort as a sensual experience. Inspired by the petals of a blooming tulip, its silhouette brings fluidity and organic movement into the space.
Upholstered in a deep, velvety blue, the sofa becomes both a statement and a sanctuary. It evokes a sense of intimacy and softness - an invitation to sink in, disconnect, and rest. But it’s more than just a beautiful shape; its ergonomic design and exquisite finishing reflect the highest standards of craftsmanship.
In this setting, the Tulip Sofa serves as an emotional anchor. It balances art and functionality while speaking directly to the growing trend of comfort-driven luxury.
3. McCool Coffee Table - Geometry Meets Playfulness
The Mccool Coffee Table stands as a visual counterpoint to the soft curves of the seating area. With its bold geometric base and natural wood top, it adds architectural interest to the composition without overwhelming it.
Its presence is strong but not imposing, offering balance and contrast. The use of solid wood introduces warmth into the otherwise cool-toned setting, creating a sensory tension that adds depth to the design. There’s a certain playfulness in its proportions and unexpected angles - an echo of mid-century influences reimagined for contemporary tastes.
Placed centrally, the McCool Coffee Table acts as a conversation hub - functional, expressive, and entirely in tune with the rhythm of the space.
4. Dom Sebastião Sideboard - Heritage Reinterpreted
Named after the legendary Portuguese king, the Dom Sebastião Sideboard is a tribute to legacy and reinvention. Its design reflects the grandeur of historical furniture, reinterpreted with minimalist lines and a modern sensibility.
The sideboard’s front showcases a subtle relief pattern reminiscent of architectural detailing, evoking palatial elegance. Finished in a dark, oceanic blue, it ties beautifully with the overall palette while standing proudly on its own. Inside, practicality reigns, ample storage, clean organisation, and refined hardware meet the expectations of contemporary living.
This piece brings narrative weight to the space. It connects past and present, tradition and innovation, reminding us that the most meaningful interiors are those that tell stories.
5. Costa Nova Armchair - Coastal Elegance with a Relaxed Spirit
Drawing inspiration from the breezy charm of Portugal’s coastal architecture, the Costa Nova Armchair brings an air of relaxed elegance to the scene. With its light upholstery, open silhouette and delicate curves, it invites a more informal interaction with the space.
Its low, comfortable seat encourages lingering, while the thoughtful details - refined stitching, gentle wood accents, and ergonomic shape - reflect a meticulous design process. This is not just a decorative chair; it’s a place to unwind, to read, to sip coffee as natural light dances across the room.
The Costa Nova Armchair is a masterclass in restraint: luxurious without excess, refined yet approachable.
6. Ginkgo Side Table - The Art of the Accent
No space is complete without a poetic detail and the Ginkgo Side Table delivers just that. Inspired by the fan-shaped leaves of the ginkgo biloba tree, this piece combines natural inspiration with sculptural refinement.
Its small size belies its impact. Crafted in a metallic finish that subtly reflects the surrounding colours, it acts as both a functional surface and an ornamental accent. The asymmetry of its base adds a touch of spontaneity, contrasting with the more structured elements of the space.
Placed next to the sofa or armchair, the Ginkgo Side Table is an invitation to notice the details. It captures the essence of refined living: the beauty of small moments.
Timeless by Nature, Emotional by Design
July’s trend isn’t just about colour - it’s about emotion. The blue palette in this composition evokes calm, introspection, and a sense of timelessness. Each piece plays its role in crafting an atmosphere where elegance meets emotion, where every detail matters.
This is the kind of interior that lingers in memory - not for its loud statements, but for its harmony, its rhythm, and the way it makes you feel.
