Core Design Elements
A Warm, Earthy Colour Palette
@colamanz uses beige, cream, camel, and wood brown as his base, creating a soft atmosphere that feels lived-in and authentic. The occasional olive green or faded crimson adds a touch of subtle contrast.
Vintage Materials and Textures
His love for mid-century wood furniture, hand-thrown ceramic vases, and linen textiles adds character to each corner. These materials evoke a sense of nostalgia without being heavy-handed.
Curated Decorative Pieces
Instead of maximalist displays, @colamanz uses carefully chosen vintage finds and artisan objects to express identity. A vintage lamp, abstract sculpture, or ceramic piece adds just enough character.

Spatial Layout and Flow
Open Yet Grounded
While the space is compact, it feels expansive thanks to thoughtful zoning. The use of low furniture and open sight lines maximises flow without losing intimacy.
Anchored Corners
Each room has a clearly defined vignette: a reading chair with a side table and lamp, a console with stacked books and a dried floral arrangement - all creating mini moments of calm.

Styling Tips & Inspiration
Let Each Item Speak
Adopt a "less but better" philosophy. When selecting ceramic decor, choose handmade or subtly imperfect pieces that tell a story.
Lighting, Layers & Mood
One of the signature elements in @colamanz’s home is warm ambient lighting - wall-mounted sconces, pendant lamps, and candles that cast a soft glow across surfaces. Layering light sources creates intimacy and depth.
Mix Modern and Antique
Don’t be afraid to place a sleek speaker atop an aged cabinet, or frame a minimal print beside a 1970s oil painting. This contrast enhances personality.
