TREND 1: BAREFOOT GLAMOUR
There’s a sense of relaxed, airy beach house with this trend, which is underpinned by an understated, five-star feel delivered by luxury materials such as marble and brushed brass. “Pared back and neutral, this trend allows you to immediately unwind on stepping through the front door,” says HB senior stylist Rachel Peters. A calming colourway includes washed timber, white linen, pale blue and gold. “The emotion these colours may elicit is a cool, overall impression, where an added touch of gold embellishment can bring a sense of luxury,” says Dulux colour expert Andrea Lucena-Orr. “Whites with soft blues create a clean, contemporary feel – so gold balances these colours, contrasting with a richness and warmth.” Colours: Dulux Chalk USA, Stonecrop, Skyway Quarter.
