Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made the move to the US, they have made many virtual appearances from their lavish Montecito home. Instead of the standard white wall or bookcase shot that you may see on many Zoom videos, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a few carefully curated backdrops for their calls – and here's how you can get the look!

HELLO! exclusively spoke to Michelle Kear, Web Merchandiser for Homes at La Redoute to understand what makes their stunning living space so perfect for Zoom. It turns out their love for natural colours and materials is key to making their space look effortlessly elegant. 

WATCH: Look inside Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's immaculate home

She said: "Harry and Meghan's background features lovely clean lines, such as the large flat mantel, balanced with more curved pieces. To recreate the look, incorporate softer accessories into your space. Rounded candles, fresh flowers, and curved vases are great touches to bring a neutral space to life.

A wooden ladder, a folded throw blanket, a framed abstract art piece, a lit candle, and a white sculpture.

Inspiration to style up your space like the Duke and Duchess 

"Using neutral colour palettes of creams and taupes, and pairing this colouring with natural textures, a room will instantly give off a calming vibe. To turn your home into a sanctuary fit for royalty, introduce décor in muted colourways and made of natural materials like rattan, stone, and wood."
