Go global
Exotic prints evoke a global air, particularly when patterns are mixed and matched and unified by colour. These cushions may range in both price and design, but they all have a Mediterranean vibe that echoes Greek tiles and Turkish mosaics. high-low-breezy-bed-blanket.jpg
Greek inspiration
If you’re inspired by Greece but want to steer clear of Santorini blue, busts of Alexander the Great and paintings of olives, opt for this decorative detail that just hints at Hellas: the Greek key motif. Dainty but masculine, traditional without being tired, it’s a stunning repeat that’s subtle enough to not steal the show. high-low-breezy-bed-table.jpg
Key element
Symbolic of the labyrinth that contained that monstrous Minotaur in Greek mythology, the Greek key pattern – also known as a meander or fret – featured in the architecture, crafts and decor of not only Ancient Greece but also China, Rome and Egypt. high-low-breezy-bed-chest.jpg
Coastal inspiration
"I was inspired by a Mykonos hotel room: whitewashed walls, crisp white linens and the fresh ocean breeze!" Andrea McCrindle, stylist.
