The Beauty of Nature – Bloom by RJ Living
RJ Living announces the launch of Bloom, the 2021 Spring Summer Collection. Celebrating the beauty of Australian native flora and dried foliage, the collection is a homage to nature, embodying quality design while inviting the outside in.
Inspired by a natural palette of mossy greens, peachy pinks, rich oranges and stone greys, Bloom is a refreshing take on crafted, quality pieces designed to endure. Imbued with the vibrant essence of the warmer months, the collection encourages the inclusion of living greenery and natural tones into interiors. Proposing opportunities for spaces to evoke the richness of natural landscapes, every product is designed in Melbourne and values an effervescent and sophisticated reimagining of the traditional.
The contemporary collection takes its cues from the fresh and earthy tonalities found in Australian natural landscape. “Focusing on a mix of colour and texture will elevate any space, instantly making it feel welcoming,” explains Milly McEwan, RJ Living Product and Design Manager. “This season, we’ve expanded our material palette with a versatile new walnut stain, unique marble tones and plenty of lush fabrics.” The colours speak to a modern amenity, whilst the more muted tones aim to work in harmony with interiors, setting the scene for versatile, creative and serene projections. Likewise, the introduction of the tactile walnut, bouclé upholstery, glass ceramics and marble materiality assists in crafting an enriched experience unique to each space.
From lavish forest leaves to intricate dried flowers, Bloom reflects the organic textures and curious shapes found within nature, enlivening spaces with an unmatched elegance. Bloom is comprised of a new marble collection – featuring coffee tables, plinths and side tables – as well as graceful new dining pieces and upholstered items in a soft, textural bouclé finish. The solid marble collection showcases the beauty of natural stone, with each piece distinct in its pattern, conjuring meaningful visual interest and injecting colour with ease.

Earlier RJ Living designs are also available in the latest walnut stain – instilling interiors with a warm tonality and a contemporary twist. Each piece is crafted with solid European oak, channelling intricate natural grains and patterns that awaken when combined with the introduction of rich brown walnut colours. The walnut stain similarly epitomises RJ Living’s dedication to sustainable production through the use of timber, a renewable resource, and emphasising minimal wastage.
As an extension of this commitment to environmentally sustainable practices, RJ Living has also announced a charity partnership with Greenfleet, an environmental not-for-profit organisation aiming to protect the climate by restoring biodiverse, native forests. The company’s donations have helped plant a Milestone Forest, working in conjunction with the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the Traditional Owners of the land.
Design-led and innovative in its approach, RJ Living is inspired by international trends, blended with the laidback Australian lifestyle. “This collection is a celebration of Australian flora, using tactile materials and an energising colour palette that reflects the vibrancy of the warmer months,” says Jess Galtry, RJ Living Lead Stylist. “Inspired by a connection to nature, we created a sense of luxurious comfort to embrace the notion that your home is a sanctuary.” Promoting tranquillity and grounded in principles of nature, Bloom, the 2021 Spring Summer Collection is now available.
