T<br />
he meshing together of –<br />
at times opposing – trends<br />
has seen a beautiful cohesion<br />
emerge in interior design.<br />
It is simple to recreate<br />
these looks, and you don’t<br />
need to go big each time.<br />
Often a thoughtful addition,<br />
such as a wishbone-backed<br />
chair with a linen throw, can<br />
conjure the vibe. Or, simply<br />
update the colour palette<br />
because, where once styles<br />
drove the colour, it is now<br />
colour that leads the way.<br />
Back to earth<br />
The urge to reconnect to our natural<br />
environment has influenced today’s colour<br />
palettes.<br />
• Calibrate – explore and embrace<br />
changes in a positive way. Tones<br />
include soft coral and rose, with silver<br />
and gold as an antidote.<br />
• Balance – achieved with colours of sky,<br />
sand, rose terracottas, smudgy neutrals<br />
and, of course, everlasting green.<br />
• Equilibrium – reflects what we see in<br />
our natural environment, particularly in<br />
the leafy green palette.<br />
• Light – inspired by the ocean, with<br />
vibrant and deep blues, and a whisper<br />
of fragility in the lighter shades.<br />
• Neutrals – celebrate that home is<br />
truly where the heart is. A warm and<br />
relaxed palette, from beige through<br />
to a beautiful soft range of browns<br />
with red undertones. Neutrals are<br />
rich, soothing and provide a sense of<br />
harmony within the home.<br />
• Structurals – lead the way with black,<br />
brown, dark grey and muddy/burnt<br />
caramels to encase all other colours.
