Kinship

It’s time to switch off the noise and drown out the negative vibes. To create space for compassion and kindness, truth and transparency. A colourful mish-mash of cultural influences ignites our sense of community and kinship helping us to renew our faith in one another and the world around us.

A celebration of cultural heritage with fresh, contemporary overtures

In our search for spiritual wellbeing we find comfort in folklore and the revival of long-held traditions. Kinship is a celebration of cultural heritage with fresh, contemporary overtures and colours that have been brought together to lift you up and cocoon you in.

Colour tip

The key to an eclectic colour mix can be as simple as keeping it tonal. Scheme rich ochre with terracotta and rust and use contrasting colours sparingly.

A colourful mish-mash of folklore influences will fill your space with warmth and positivity. Choose colours, art, textiles and objects that make you feel happy, it’s a combination that will always work.

Organic green such as Herbalist pairs perfectly with warmer hues of Motueka and Maiko. To help ground your interior, punctuate it with dark accents such as black, featured in artwork and furniture pieces.

Mix and match your cushions and throws to create a lively interplay of colour and pattern in your living spaces. The subtle blue undertone in Ruski can help elevate a grey scheme, creating interest and contrast against warmer shades in timber finishes.

Create the look: Kinship

I was immediately drawn to Kinship’s palette of deep red, brown and caramel tones. Together with cosy, neutral shades they create a warm, cocoon-like atmosphere perfect for a living room.

I chose Dulux Glinks Gully as a neutral accent to carry through to other furniture selections.
