KEEP THE CALM

Right now in interiors there ’ s a running theme in the hottest trends , and that ’ s comfort . Like never before , we are creating spaces that are calm and relaxing – a place to sit back , chill and regenerate . Layering soft cosy materials and textures is a simple and easy way to achieve instant comfort . Introducing a mixture of natural elements – linen , wool , knits , and faux furs on sofas and armchairs will create an instantly inviting space . Experiment with drapes that pool on the floor , loose-fitting slipcovers and tons of pillows for maximum effect . Similar colour shades add personality and character to a room without being overwhelming , and the emphasis on natural pigments seems to be at the forefront of this trend , again . Dulux ’ s colour of the year ‘ Brave Ground ’ is a great example of this – warm , natural and neutral . As well as warmer pinks , beiges , browns , and neutral schemes , capture relaxing poolside and beach getaways with aqua blue for a calm , contemporary look . Calm is the way forward , creating a sanctuary that you can enjoy , and that is comforting and nurturing .
