Forget buffalo check and reclaimed timber. The new chalet chic mixes rustic textures with a slushy palette.
Shearling takes any upholstered piece such as CB2′s Matador chair in an extra cushy direction and looks coolest juxtaposed against harder surfaces. Perch it next to Kar Studio’s Pudding table, which mimics the look of an iceberg melting into the sea.
For accessories, layer in natural elements: a woven straw trivet hung on the wall as art; a lamp that glows through its alabaster shade; or a ceramic accent in an organic shape.
As a finishing touch, light one of Ilse Crawford’s new bonfire-scented candles for Ikea. The British designer says she chose the smell because it signals warmth, comfort and refuge. In other words, the ideal parameters for the perfect winter room.
