Colour tip

Selecting a decadent colour, such as a rich red or earthy brown, can add an essence of sophistication, and the feeling of connection and security in the space.

A warm, vivid sunset palette

A warm, vivid sunset palette helps to create an emotive space designed for lingering. Focus on toasty shades of burgundy, brown, reds and oranges to create a cosy, indulgent place to escape.
