vintage paradox

With a modern approach to the original Art Deco movement, blacks, whites and neutrals continue to dominate in many different styles. Whether it's traditional or contemporary, impressive blacks with a hint of coloured undertones can create amazing drama in any space. Textures are inspiring in this palette, with metallics adding the "shine" in the darker tones.

natural essence

Colours from our natural surroundings, this palette combines the wonders of our environment. Earthy greens and browns, reddish chestnuts and the sandy hues whipped from dunes - all which evoke a love of the land. The beauty around us continues to create incredible inspiration for design and color and a warm comforting space.

An enlightening kaleidoscope of colours in varying shades and tones helps to form a revitalizing eclectic union of non-traditional colour. This dynamic palette breaks the conventional barriers on how colours should be schemed together, but balance is the key when blending clean and muted colours.

self reflection

This lovely palette creates an overwhelming feeling of calmness and serenity in colorful, yet subtle pastels – soft blues, grey-greens, subtle greys, apple greens and mushroom pinks.

The increasing trend in "escapism" or "sea change" from the busy city lifestyle has lead to this peaceful palette of calm and reflective tones. Creating your own personal sanctuary is important and these colours are perfect for home spa's, outdoor kitchens and bedrooms.
