T.D.C: Styling for Baya Part Two: Summer 2026 Studio Shoot

Part Two of my styling for Baya takes us indoors, exploring the new Summer 2026 collection in a studio setting. This time, it was less about recreating a traditional home and more about evoking a feeling — openness, light, and possibility. I wanted each space to breathe: uncluttered and considered, yet still hinting at a lived-in warmth. Refined, but never over-styled.

I recently chatted with Baya about my styling process — from sourcing furniture, lighting, and accessories, to finding that delicate balance between harmony and contrast. We talked about colour as a starting point, the unexpected pairings that bring energy to a space, and the tactile details that make it feel real and lived in. For this collection I was excited to play with some of the bolder hues — like the rich velvet tones of tobacco, chocolate, and thyme — and the striking new Marlow rug.

The conversation also dives into how rugs anchor the settings, the role of texture and materiality, and how Baya’s design language continues to evolve in such a timeless, natural way.
