Hello Friends,

The days are getting warmer, evenings are getting lighter and flowers are blooming!   

The arrival of Spring is the perfect excuse to revamp, spruce up, and enhance your interior design.  It is a time to experiment with fresh colours and textures, and to discover new patterns and uplifting palettes.  Look out for a new natural designs which reflect a growing interest in sustainability and the environment.
​Colour Schemes

The colours we surround ourselves with can affect our mood, so when it comes to deciding on the palette for a room scheme, there’s much to consider.

Coastal-look kitchen: Snow / Lily / Cactus

For a fresh and natural kitchen colour scheme, paint cabinets and the ceiling a refreshing snow white designed created to look like white walls with sunlight on them.  For the walls, a pale grey neutral colour like Lily will balance the white, and an accent colour like deep Cactus green will look great  on a dresser or your kitchen chairs.

​Smart dining room: Navy & Shell

For a look which is bright by day and atmospheric by night, try Navy blue on the walls and creamy white and beige Shell on the ceiling and woodwork.

Calming bedroom: Mist / Snow / Shell

A relaxing bedroom needs warm, gentle and soothing colours.  Mist is a contemporary mid-grey which works beautifully on walls.  Combine it with Snow white on the ceiling and Shell on the woodwork.  Add a pop of colour with your choice of fabrics and bedlinen.
Family bathroom: Old Rose / Snow / Lily

Warm and comforting Old Rose pink might not the typical colour choice for a bathroom, but its smart appearance really works.  Paint the ceiling in Snow and use neutral Lily for the woodwork and joinery.

Conservatory: Moss

Moss is a cool green-grey that works well in all spaces and looks particularly good with plants.

Study: Old Rose + Smoke / Silver Birch / Snow

For a calm and dignified workspace, choose Old Rose for the walls.  Paint shelves and storage units a strong, deep grey like Smoke.  A warm and rich grey like Silver Birch looks great on the woodwork.  Finish the ceiling with Snow white.

Entrance hall: Fog / Saffron / Shell

In a narrow and dark entrance hall, a rich yellow like Saffron adds warmth and depth to the walls.  Combine it with Fog (a classic grey) on the woodwork and Shell on the ceiling to create a smart but striking first impression.


Ground floor colour flow: Cactus / Moss / French Grey / Lily / Snow

It's a common mistake to think of rooms in isolation when you’ll have views from one room to another indoors.  When planning your revamped interior design, consider creating a flow between rooms using a selection of hues positioned next to each other on the colour wheel - for example a blue, then a navy, and a third colour that’s either a mix of the first two or an accent, such as turquoise.
