Design That Feels Collected, Not Chosen
Every month, our design team looks across what’s new from our vendor partners and pulls out what feels genuinely worth specifying. This month’s edit leans into pattern, texture and a sense of history, with collections that bring character to a space without feeling overly styled.
From Thibaut’s fresh take on Arts and Crafts botanicals to York’s relaxed interpretation of modern farmhouse style, September is about creating rooms that feel layered, welcoming and considered. ROMO’s upcoming Averly collection adds another dimension with a mix of fabric, wallpaper and trimmings designed to bring colour, pattern and texture together.
And our Color of the Month follows the same instinct: a warm, faded golden hue that brings a quiet sense of luxury to the spaces we’re designing now.
Here’s what we’re specifying and why.
Buena Vista Gold — 209
Gently faded, Buena Vista Gold is a deep yellow with an understated richness. It brings warmth and a relaxed sense of luxury to a room, adding colour without demanding all the attention.
With an LRV of 48.95, Buena Vista Gold sits comfortably in that sweet spot between light and depth. It has enough presence to hold its own on the walls, while its softened quality keeps the overall feeling approachable.
It’s the kind of colour that can shift beautifully depending on the room and the light — warm, grounded and quietly distinctive.

New This Month
Fairhaven
Fairhaven brings a fresh perspective to the Arts and Crafts movement, pairing the handcrafted character of period-inspired botanicals with fresh colour and playful elegance. The collection features a mix of florals, trailing vines, scenic botanicals, and classic motifs, with patterns ranging from intricate and illustrative to soft and watercolor-like.
Available across wallcovering and select fabrics, Fairhaven offers plenty of versatility for layering pattern throughout a space, whether you’re looking for a statement wall, upholstered piece, or more subtle decorative detail. The collection feels rooted in history while remaining relaxed and current, making it an easy fit for both traditional and transitional interiors.

Modern Farmhouse by Chesapeake
Modern farmhouse continues to evolve, and York’s Modern Farmhouse by Chesapeake gives the familiar aesthetic a more collected, design-forward point of view.
The collection brings together timeless florals and botanicals, scenic hillsides and homespun-inspired designs, creating a sense of relaxed sophistication.
What makes the collection especially interesting is the balance between classic farmhouse references and more contemporary elements. Familiar details such as shiplap and subway tile sit alongside modern, eclectic ideas like botanical gallery walls.
The result is farmhouse style with an urban spin — warm and approachable, but with enough personality to keep it from feeling predictable.
For projects that need a little more character, these are the kinds of patterns that can help build a room layer by layer rather than relying on a single statement moment.

Averly
Launching September 1, ROMO’s Averly collection offers a first look at the brand’s newest approach to fabric, wallpaper and trimmings.
The collection brings together the Averly, Lowen and Pinto ranges, creating a mix of colour, pattern and texture that feels made for layering.
It’s an especially useful direction for projects where the goal is to create a more finished, collected interior. Rather than treating each surface as a separate decision, the combination of wallpaper, textiles and trim allows pattern and texture to work together across the room.
With its September 1 launch, Averly is one to keep on the radar as the new season of projects gets underway.

"Boreal Forest has that ability to make a room feel grounded without making it feel heavy, which is why I keep coming back to it. I love pairing it with Morris & Co. when a project needs a little more history and pattern, and Vignette gives me the softness and flexibility to finish the space without competing with it."

"Autumn Purple is one of those colors that can completely change the mood of a room without needing to take over. I’m drawn to the way a Pacific Design Celestial wallcovering can build on that richness, while Alustra Designer Roller Shades keep the look clean and tailored.”"
