Lux living

This space was a beautiful, light-filled contemporary extension. Adding a warm and rich colour helped celebrate the home's great architectural details. The overall feeling of light and warm was kept with the soft neutral of Basic Coral on the cabinetry balanced with the bold, dramatic Murray Red on the wall. Decadent fabrics such as velvet and silk complete the look.

Cabinetry colour: Basic Coral
Wall colour: Murray Red

A sense of nostalgia

Combine these rich colours with decadently rounded forms and a new interpretation on 1970s retro-futuristic style to clash with opulent Art Deco vibes. Jewelled colours help to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Play with deeper purples and ruby reds to create a luxurious appeal.
