Scheming with a soft, natural hue such as Dulux Sandymount creates a calming and flexible colour palette. Layer with textures and add earthy tones to complete the look.

The influence of timber against soothing colours provides a balancing rustic feel, whilst lighter furnishings allow for a more playful use of colour.
