Letter From The Editor

Dear Readers,

I know, I know.  We all live in a world that all too often moves at breakneck speed.  So our homes become temples — the place we go to catch our breath, recharge our spirit and reconnect with what really matters. That’s why our Earth Tones issue, Embracing Nature Indoors, is a tribute to warmth, harmony and the ability of earth tones to turn our homes into bubbles of peace and tranquility.

Earth tones, those luxurious browns, calming greens and grounding terracotta have long been linked with comfort and stability. They're more than just a design trend, those colors are a reminder of the bond we have with nature. Science says they pave the way for relaxation, creativity and emotional well-being, making the perfect solution for curating a home that looks as good as it feels.

In this issue, let's explore the psychology of earth tones, with expert advice on how they calm us. Our styling guide will guide you in weaving these hues into the fabric of your home, and our shopping list will call out must-have décor that embodies both beauty and sustainability. For the creators, we have compiled easy, minimal projects that will help bring life into your home and give you a personal touch over your earthy escape.

Most importantly, we champion a mindful way of living — selecting pieces with intention, investing in sustainable brands and curating spaces that nurture the soul. Whether you’re on the hunt for a complete home makeover or small-scale ways to incorporate these classic shades, we hope this issue motivates you to soak up the warmth and balance of earth tones.

Here’s to living beautifully, naturally, and with intention.

Warmly,

Nisi Mae
