The Summer Edit: A Postcard from Beverly Hills Hotel

Our journey with The Summer Edit takes a turn, as we move from quiet countryside lanes and coastal escapes to something altogether more polished. This stop takes us to a place where glamour feels effortless and colour has always been part of the charm. A space where blush tones meet deep marble veining, and every room has a hint of Old Hollywood elegance.

This edit is inspired by the timeless appeal of Californian interiors. Think sweeping hallways finished in cool stone, soft pastel walls that catch the evening light, and accents that feel bold without shouting.

Beverly Hills is a place that has always known how to make an entrance. The wide palm-lined streets, iconic pink facades and mid-century buildings have long set the tone for laid-back luxury. Inside, you’ll find rooms filled with soft green palms, plush furniture and a mix of materials that strike the perfect balance between playful and refined.

It is this blend of colour, pattern and tone that has shaped the Beverly Hills look, and it captures a mood more than a trend. This is a style that lives confidently in the present, with a subtle acknowledgement to the glamour of the past.

This edit is all about combining shape, texture and a hint of theatre. The foundation begins with Novene™ Carrara, a soft faux marble tile with a realistic honed finish. It brings light into the room and works across larger surfaces, making bathrooms feel spacious and kitchens quietly sophisticated.

For something more structured, Istrian White and Istrian Charcoal provide a classic monochrome base. The matte texture and clean edges create the perfect canvas for a checkerboard design that feels rooted in Art Deco influence. It’s a look that works just as well in a hallway as it does underfoot in a dressing room.

Ribbon Artichoke introduces colour in a way that feels calm and elevated. Its fluted surface and soft green shade echo the leafy gardens and vintage furniture that define this aesthetic. Use it to wrap a vanity area or highlight a smaller feature wall. The shape gives gentle rhythm, without overwhelming the space.

To bring it all together, BAL MM3 Eco Grout in Powdered Rose offers a soft-toned finish that helps the lighter tiles blend naturally. Pair it with Complements™ Brushed Dark Bronze Trim for a frame that has depth and distinct character, echoing the metallic details seen in vintage mirrors, cabinet handles and statement light fittings.

With the tiles in place, supporting pieces can help tell the rest of the story. Blossom™ Snow and Blossom™ Shadow echo the curves of shell-like seating and retro wall panels. The fan shape brings quiet movement to a wall, ideal for alcoves or areas where detail matters most.

Matrix® Quartz Pink and Wilderness Green continue the colour story with smooth finishes and soft, almost powdered tones. Use them as a feature or an accent to draw out the blush and botanical notes in the palette. For added texture, Flute™ Terracotta Decor gives a sculptural feel to the space. Its reeded surface is easy on the eye and subtly elevates the surrounding materials.

The styling in a Beverly Hills Hotel inspired space should feel light and considered. Add greenery, glass and velvet touches, a brushed metal lamp or a low curved coffee table. Keep things open, relaxed and full of personality.
