"watery colours" decorate the kitchen, bathrooms and
bedroom. Our living room is made up of a collection of
colours ranging from orange to camel to red with gold
accents. It could be a forest of leaves if it weren’t for the crisp
white backdrop of the walls. Our dining room has dark
brown furniture, honey-coloured carpet and woven raffia
on the walls that glow like candlelight in the evening.
Coming from someone who has owned two red sofas
in her life (I replaced a worn-out one with virtually the
same colour) I don’t believe in fearing colour. I know
the palette(s) I feel most at home with and can’t imagine
living with any other way, therefore "getting sick of them"
isn’t a worry. Our personal palette comes from a blend of
lifelong influences and usually we know what’s right if we
listen and trust our instincts. Thankfully home fashion
is all about personal taste now rather than conformist
trends. Go with your gut; enjoy your home with passion,
and be confident in your choices, knowing you can’t go
wrong if it feels right. And your rooms will show it.
