Coastal, Industrial, Retro and Biophilic Room Ideas

Coastal, industrial, retro and biophilic styles each start from a clear material idea. Coastal uses pale timber and soft blues, industrial leans on brick and metal, retro brings warmer shapes and colours, and biophilic rooms put plants and natural texture first.

Use these styles as a direction rather than a rulebook. One or two strong cues are often enough to change the room without making it feel forced.

Lighting, shelves, rugs and hardware are good low-risk ways to test a style before changing flooring, kitchens or built-in storage.
