Warm Neutrals

Warm neutrals are a go-to for creating a cosy, inviting space. Think shades of beige, taupe, greige and warm whites. These tones work beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens, especially when paired with natural materials like wood and stone. They create a soft, grounded feel that won’t feel outdated in a few years.

Monochrome Elegance

A black and white palette is the definition of timeless. It’s bold, clean and endlessly versatile. Monochrome doesn’t mean boring – you can add depth through different finishes, patterns and textures. Think matte black fixtures against crisp white tiles or a dramatic black feature wall in an all-white room.
