Summer is well and truly upon us at last, and with it our attention turns to taking a break from the familiar nine-to-five routine and heading off for a well-deserved seaside escape. Whether you’re daydreaming about last year’s holiday in Saint Tropez or planning a weekend getaway to Cannes, Francophiles needn’t stray too far from home for a taste of the French Riviera this summer.
It’s not often Chelsea and Marylebone feel like France, but our latest collection and store windows epitomise the French Riviera, minus the sea. Bathed in sunshine and understated glamour, this chic corner of the Mediterranean is represented in a cool wash of snow-white, cobalt-blue and splashes of sunshine-yellow. A few of the visually striking features include a bespoke pebbled bar, geometric patterned tile flooring by Bert & May and flower-filled table settings ideal for your next garden party.
Popular for decades with sun-starved Europeans, the French Riviera bursts into life during the summer months, proving an irresistible draw for stressed-out urbanites. So it’s little wonder we want to channel this haven of calm and poolside perfection into your home. Get the look in-store now with our edit of covetable furniture, kitchen and dining products, lighting and home accessories inspired by sea-chic style.
Whether it’s a relaxed coastal bedroom, vibrant outdoor entertaining area or tranquil living room filled with mosaic furnishings and handcrafted ceramics, you’ll find all the inspiration you need to update your interior or plan a new season makeover. Set sail with colourful glassware, vintage outdoor furniture and woven accessories and your beach dreams will be one step closer to reality.
