Steal This Look: A Hushed Bedroom in Calming Colors

December 16, 2025

Lucky is the home that calls Nina and Craig Plummer its owners. The two are the founders of Ellei Home (formerly called Ingredients LDN), an inspiring online store based in Edinburgh, and the grand apartment they share is a testing ground for the beautiful products sold on their site. Only items that fit their philosophy and aesthetic—the perfect soft palette; natural materials; thoughtful craftsmanship—make it onto their site and into their home.

The result is a wonderfully considered residence. (See the full house tour here.) We’re particularly taken with Nina and Craig’s muted bedroom. Let’s take a tour, then we’ll show you how to get the look.

Here’s how to steal this look. Note: Most of the products are sold on Ellei Home; we’ve tried to source stateside, though, when possible in order to cut down on shipping costs.

The Soft Stuff
