The idea: light through the canopy

Huxberry makes natural and organic sleep: wool, latex, cotton, timber. The identity should feel like standing in a forest clearing in the morning. The deep greens are the trees at the edge. Most of the space is the clearing itself: open, pale, warm and full of light.

That gives one rule that decides most design questions:

Mostly light, anchored by green.

Share of any page, spread or post What fills it
About 80% Light grounds: White, Sand, Linen
About 15% Natural-light photography and soft green grounds (Pale Sage)
5% or less Deep colour: Forest Ink, Deep Green

The green comes mostly from buttons, eyebrows, line art and the photographs themselves. Most web pages have no dark band at all. If a layout feels heavy, remove dark area before adding anything else.

The look in four words: bright, inviting, modern, premium.

Personality

We are So we We are not
Calm Leave space, use few elements, let images breathe Loud, promotional, urgent
Honest Name the material, show the certificate, give the number Vague ("eco", "green", "clean")
Crafted Use careful type, real textures, precise details Glossy, synthetic, over-retouched
Quietly expert Explain how things work in plain words Technical for its own sake, or cute

Tone of voice

Write like a knowledgeable friend in the showroom: plain, specific, warm, never pushy.

Principles

  1. Specific over general. "New Zealand wool from certified farms" beats "premium natural materials".
  2. Prove it. Every organic or safety claim names its certificate (GOTS, GOLS, OEKO-TEX, RWS, CertiPUR-US) or it is not made.
  3. Short sentences, one idea each. Headlines are usually under eight words.
  4. Sentence case everywhere. Headlines, buttons, badges, menus. Capitals only for small eyebrow labels, and the style applies them, not the keyboard.
  5. No pressure. "Lie down. Take your time." not "Hurry, sale ends tonight!"
  6. British English spelling (colour, centre, organise) with AED prices written AED 2,300.
  7. No em dashes. Use a full stop, a comma or a colon instead.
