A cozy living space with an open kitchen featuring wooden shelves, a rustic dining table, and a person holding a teacup. The text on the image reads "the ROMANTIC NATURALIST."

Welcome to your Story of Style — a life led as a Romantic Naturalist.

She wakes with the sun, not the alarm. Light spills across wide timber floors and linen sheets still warm from dreaming. A cotton robe drapes gently over a chair. The home breathes — slow, still, and softly alive.

In the kitchen, sage shaker cabinetry frames a farmhouse sink. Herbs from the garden are rinsed beneath brass tapware as the kettle hums. Open shelves cradle mismatched ceramics, sea salt, dried lavender — a collection of moments, not things.

A wooden table bears the marks of meals and memory. A vintage cabinet holds beeswax candles, handwritten recipes, linen napkins.

Chores are rituals. Books are stacked. Cushions invite rest. There’s space for weather-watching and journaling. For incense and imperfection.

At night, the lights dim. The bath runs. And the house exhales.

This isn’t a home for show — it’s a home for feeling. For living, fully and beautifully.

STYLE Notes

    Your Interior Style Match

    *Modern Cottage Farmhouse (the soulful kind)
    Rooted in comfort and simplicity, this style blends old-world charm with quiet modernity. Think soft white walls, shaker cabinetry, aged timber, and heirloom pieces passed down or lovingly found. It’s the warmth of a farmhouse kitchen with the romance of linen aprons, brass fixtures, and a cake cooling on the bench. A space that feels soulful, never styled.

    *Scandi Rustic
    This style brings the stillness of Nordic woods into your home—natural textures, soft muted tones, and simplicity with soul. Pale timbers, brushed brass, ceramic lamps, and layered neutrals create a quiet retreat. You’ll often find handcrafted pieces, vintage accents, and a deep appreciation for light, texture, and negative space. It’s slow, grounding, and effortlessly beautiful.

    *Soft Country / Heritage-Inspired
    A gentle nod to the past, filled with floral wallpaper, collected antiques, copper pans, and well-worn rugs. It’s a soft country style where every piece feels like a memory—layered, sentimental, and storied. Think vinatge clawfoot tubs, timber-framed windows, and wattle in a jar. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence, nostalgia, and the romance of living well.

  • Kitchen with light wood cabinets, marble countertop, and decorative items on a marble backsplash shelf, including vases, picture frame, and a bouquet of greenery and pink flowers.

    Design Cues to Explore

    *She wakes with the sun — light spilling across timber floors, linen sheets rumpled from rest, a cotton robe waiting quietly on the chair.

    *Her day begins at the Luxury Vanity — part of the Modern Muse Collection. Here, rituals unfold slowly: warm water in a handmade bowl, a favourite face oil, gold-handled brushes resting in a ceramic tray. It’s a space to reflect, reset, and prepare with calm intention.

    *The kitchen is a sanctuary — sage shaker cabinetry, garden herbs, brass fixtures, and open shelves holding stories in the form of ceramics, sea salt, and dried lavender.

    *Every object has a memory — a wooden table worn from long dinners, a vintage cabinet filled with beeswax candles, linen napkins, and handwritten recipes.

    *Evenings are slow and scented — linen curtains drawn, vintage lights dimmed, cedarwood and something baking in the air, a warm bath run beneath flickering candlelight.

  • Modern rustic bathroom featuring a freestanding white bathtub near a large arched window, a wooden vanity with two oval mirrors, black fixtures, and a woven wicker basket on a beige rug.

    Colour Palette

    *Begin with nature’s quiet hues — tones found in soil, stone, and softly weathered leaves. Colours that soothe, not shout.

    *Think in greens and warm whites — olive, sage, eucalyptus, and garden herbs; whites that echo bone, chalk, and dried flowers

    *Layer in warm neutrals — clay, oat, sandstone, and riverstone—each carrying the warmth of earth and time.

    *Ground with depth — charcoal, aged bronze, and dusk-like shadows that anchor the palette with quiet strength.

    *Always include timber — soft oak and raw or dark and timeworn, timber brings the story: depth, soul, and timeless beauty.
