CREAM OF THE CROP
Warm neutrals have taken over from cool greys as our favourite base colours. These gentle, creamy shades create welcoming rooms that feel cosy in winter and stylishly continental in summer.
TOUCH OF DARKNESS
To avoid a washed-out effect, combine pale tones with brown and tan mid-tones. Then add in flashes of dark espresso and even jet black. Use them sparingly to maintain a chilled-out vibe.
EXPRESS YOUR SHELF
You won’t need to use a lot of pattern to make this look feel rich, but your eyes will still want something to fall on. Try out open shelving arranged with carefully curated objects to create interest.
