DUSKY PASTELS

-

Soft botanical shades, earth and sea tones and other colours inspired by nature look beautiful teamed with shades of grey. Or, combine dusty tones with bold and bright shades to create the ultimate colour pop. This palette lends itself well to either a neutral floor colour in cooler tones or something with guts, like a dark charcoal or deep grey taupe. A short cut pile carpet is a luxe base for this look.

> Don’t be afraid to use colour on walls, floors, furniture and fabrics. Soft textures such as velvet work well with softer hues and help to create depth. > Dusty pink hues are popular, and almost considered a new neutral that can add warmth to a room, with jewel tones following close behind.

> Team pastels with bold navy or dark green accents to strike a balance between masculine and feminine shades.
