Blonde tones are beautiful - indoors and outdoors. Blonde is a warm and super versatile 'neutral' to build your overall look on. It looks clean and classy, and also happens to be very on-trend. 

From inside to out, this New Zealand beach house makes a real feature of bleached and natural timber. Did you spot that blonde kitchen cabinetry? We'd love to see one of our Driftwood-coloured bean bag loungers on that deck...

This homeowner has casual chic sussed. We love that natural timber sofa frame, the rustic wooden stool and the sandy blonde cushions in a chunky knit. And did you spy those herringbone wooden floors? We think a Lujo ottoman - in Taupe - would look awesome as a coffee table, in place of that chair.

When you go for natural sand and blonde neutrals, you can get away with really mixing up your textures. Here, a contemporary sand-coloured couch sits superbly alongside a rough, rustic rug and chunky wooden table. 

Airy, light kitchen cabinets create a Scandinavian-style space.

Luxurious Minimalism! We especially love the grand-scale sliding door, leading out to a private patio. Great spot to put a couple of outdoor ottomans, positioned to catch the sun.

Grey is a perfect partner for blonde and natural wood. One of our grey bean bag chairs would look seriously cool in this funky room. Loving the little pops of hot pink!

Here's the same house. The exposed blonde beams are such a gorgeous feature, don't you think?

Blonde wooden floors with black - such a graphic and dramatic colour palette. Even the Eames armchair and ottoman (in the far corner) is light wood and black. We love how the contrasting underside of the stairs creates a bold statement.
