A finely crafted approach to interiors that
blends together a soft minimalism with an
almost Japanese aesthetic and sensibility.
The colours are simple parings of subtle
whites and bold leafy greens providing a
palette that is both fresh and balanced.
This palette encourages spaces that blur
the lines between both inside and out,
where there is no need for divides but an
overall aesthetic that unifies spaces and
creates both harmony and positivity within
interiors and exteriors. It’s an ethos of
sophisticated design that brings only the
essentials into the home, cultivating spaces
that are easy to live in.

A rich and earthy palette that mimics the
colours found in the layers of the earth.
The diversity of the colours is reminiscent
of those variations found in the
environment we live in. It features gorgeous
tans and browns, paired with lush deep
greens found in fauna and plant life,
reflects the deep blue of the sea and is
complemented by neutral base colours.
The introduction to interiors of such
a raw natural aesthetic adds a quality
of “true grit” and a sense of realness
and humbleness to the palette, in turn
encouraging us to create interiors that feel
both natural and secure. This palette can be
used in various combinations to really bring
the colours of the landscape to life.

P I T C H D A R K
An undefinable palette that challenges the
senses and plays on the idea of finding
dark spaces more relaxing, meditative and
exploratory which in the past has been
associated with light colours. It’s a new way
forward for interiors and the use of strong
colours like blacks and dark charcoals,
combined with rich reds, moody nudes
and deep blue is a palette that is coming
into its own. As we start to learn that we
can use the power we gain by unlocking
the unknown, we start to understand that
to explore and discover the new, is both
liberating and empowering.
