Our home has become our retreat from the outside world. Colours inspired from all shades of vegetable greens, accompanied with off-white, shimmer greys and lilac all create a sense of well-being. Mother-of-pearl is going to be big this season.

Chalky paint absorbs the light. Combine this in small quantities wth paint effects onto one feature wall. Pieces of furniture that have been painted to give a 3D wood grain or combed impression, creating an effect similar to rattan, adds natural texture. They also bring a light, airy, outdoor feeling inside.

Natural materials are in - wood, leather, wool, linen, cashmere, fur stone, mother of pearl, suede and cork…all of these evoke a sense of simple, everyday pleasures. It’s all about fulfilling the senses, with fresh air filling your lungs!

Soothing tones or hues, stimulating textures that are rough and raw to touch…. our outdoor space will become an extension of our homes - another space to design. Bring the inside out and outside in.
