HOME + GARDEN
“ After a long love affair with slightly chilly greys, homes are finally thawing out and we’ re seeing a return to wonderfully earthy palettes that hero rich, grounded tones- think mocha, terracotta and ochre. These hues really come to life on tactile upholstery like rich supple velvets and honest linens. Add a textured cushion and the comfort of a gorgeous chunky knit throw and‘ voila’, your living room begins to feel like a warm hug rather than an insouciant shrug.”

RICH COLOURS

The shift away from grey-scale continues into furnishings- and sofas are the perfect focal point for some colour-led expression that doesn’ t require whole decor scheme updates. Deep emerald, inky blue, rust and warm plums and reds will bring drama and personality, grounding a space while also injecting warmth.
