Marrying Japanese minimalism with rustic English countryside charm, this corner features a clean-lined paper-cord lounge chair set against a backdrop of lime-washed warm beige walls, bathed in natural light filtered through sheer linen curtains.

  • How to make it: Apply a textured lime wash paint to a single corner to create organic movement. Position a light wood or rattan frame chair next to a tall, slender black metal reading lamp. Add a single ceramic jug filled with dried pampas grass.
  • Tips and variations: Use a low, round oak block as a side table instead of a conventional table to maintain a grounded, earthy silhouette. If you prefer color, substitute beige lime wash with a muted terracotta wash.
  • Needs to make that thing: Lime wash paint kit, modern rattan lounge chair, slender floor lamp, ceramic dried-flower vase, raw wood block stool.
