Fundamentals for Choosing Capsule Essentials

A capsule approach is the secret to interiors that are complementary and cohesive. Every item is maximised which helps give you greater clarity about your interior style preferences. Regardless of if you’re editing down your current furniture or are in-store choosing your next dining table, a curated home capsule should be based upon the following considerations:

Versatility of a piece and ensuring the investment suits your needs and lifestyle. Functionality often means that you need double duty items, such as the Montreux bar table that you can use as a desk or a storage saver like the Taylor ottoman. Equally, the Lola Grey sofa bed can be used in a main living space or relocated to a spare room ready to welcome guests. This principle is about extending the life of every piece.

Interior Style depending on whether you’re minimalist, Scandi, eclectic, industrial, shabby chic, French classic, country, rustic or a mix! Express your taste in statement pieces such as a stunning bench that can be reworked so that there’s always a specific styling strategy at play in your home. The blush Tablet velvet bench is a fabulous investment for your kitchen, entryway, and foot of your bed.

Seasons and Climate are a major factor in what makes it into your capsule because it should withstand the extremes of wherever you are. Living in Ireland, with its distinct weather patterns, you naturally yearn for a cosy living space with a comfortable couch in an exquisite shape like the Scott Concrete Velvet Corner Sofa. Take the time to work out what gets most use in your home over a 12-month period and then choose your pieces accordingly so you can rotate as the seasons change.

Capsule Décor Checklist - Hero Pieces & Standout Accents

To get started with your capsule home update and furniture shopping, use this curation checklist while being mindful of your preferred palette, fabrics, finishes and lifestyle must-haves. Hero pieces will anchor a room and enable liveability while accent pieces can be rotated through seasons and spaces. Show personality through the furniture’s silhouette, the fabric and finishes, and unexpected details that juxtapose texture and colour.

Living Room

Hero Pieces:
Everyone heads for the sofa in this hub for relaxation so choose wisely here. Your sofa is about comfort and space with the Inspire Corner Sofa in navy velvet an idyllic fit for a plush yet supportive spot for unwinding. Space restrictions needn’t impinge on comfort with the sumptuous Quincy Grey 2 Seater seamlessly working in a smaller room in an on-trend neutral shade with modern wooden legs.

Accents:
Aim for softness with throw cushions galore in a myriad of shades and patterns. The shimmering effect of the Oksana in blue will bring serenity to any room plus it suits the golden hue of the Milana Terra with its playful fabric border. Pay attention to ergonomics that amp up style in metallics. Try the Amaro 2 Side Table Set in gorgeous gold that can be split up and repurposed in other rooms for plants, snacks or even as a bedside table. A final finishing touch is the patterned Divine large rug with its jacquard print deliciously luxurious underfoot no matter which room of the house it’s in.

Bedroom

Hero Pieces:
Take an expansive approach to the bedroom with a great investment bedframe that gives the room its own distinctive look. The intricate wood patina of the Loft Reclaimed Pine works with a range of colour schemes so you can switch up your bedding with each season. Or try a fabric bedframe like the Embrace that lends an elegant tapestry effect of modern art to a bedroom in an irresistibly rich velvet. 

Accents:
Streamline with accent pieces that amp up comfort and keep everything you need at hand. The layering benefits of throw rugs mean they can round out the styling of a room during the day and give extra warmth at night. Try a mix of textures with an understated patterned faux fur Oslo throw and a lightly honeycomb printed velvet Halo throw in taupe. When they’re not on the bed, keep them stored in another core accent piece: the bedside table. Try mixing up your standard bedside locker with the Batavia 2 Hole Cube that works here for a lamp and in the living room for books.

Entryway

Hero Pieces:
This area of a home benefits from pieces that have utility without adding clutter. A sideboard such as the Loire works here to subtly showcase different style elements (such as if you’re a wine lover) and corral life essentials. A sideboard or cabinet is effortlessly switched into a living, dining or open space, as with the Camille wherein a stacking coordinating collection with individual pieces allows you to rework the setting in other rooms where needed.

Accents:
The right accessories both enhance the visual and extend the functional capabilities of an entryway. Consider the range of each piece and how you can rotate it where needed. A mirror is always practical with the Fenton’s shape and opulent elements chic in every room all while making the space feel bigger. Incorporate lighting to add a welcoming touch that will eliminate the need to have overhead lights on when you’re in other rooms. The Vancouver antique lamp glows beautifully with the black hardware working just as well in a dining or reading nook.
