Relaxed Retreat

Enhance your RELAXED RETREAT with the calming elements of earth and water.

This story tells itself most readily in the bath, which has long been a weary soul's last refuge for tranquility at home.

The craving for peace and quiet only magnifies as we invite technology into our lives 24/7. So tired are we of being tired, of being "on," that we're visually cordoning off spaces within the home as "off" zones. Be it a sunroom or courtyard, hearthside niche or window seat, these private retreats elicit a sigh of relief.

There's a just-off-the-clothesline freshness in the colors composing Relaxed Retreat. They're soothing, but with spirit and spark. Breezes seem to flow through them, much like the translucent materials that accompany their use. The colors aren't deep - but instead become more saturated. Some colors even look luminescent.
