where the energy flow is important.<br />
Symbolism: love, power, strength and passion<br />
How to style it: Red this intense might be intimidating on its own, so use it as an<br />
accent colour with light neutrals, like white & taupe. Red reads very modern, so<br />
contemporary and futuristic patterns will pair better, than cottage & retro.<br />

influences, making it perfect for bedrooms & studies. Small doses of awe have<br />
the power to calm anxiety & improve well-being making it one of the most important<br />

new generation of homeowners, bringing this playful tone to homes. Look for<br />
dopamine popping brands like Cath Kidston for inspiration.<br />
Symbolism: unconditional love, self-care, sympathy and<br />
compassion.<br />
How to style it: Pink can be balanced with contrasted colours of green & teal<br />
for more gender neutral style, while pairing it with purple and white will keep it<br />
feminine. Use it as an all-over colour for modern interior, and even paint upcycled<br />
furniture for extra statement design.
