Let’s explore how you can transform your home with these stunning hues and complementary décor ideas to bring the essence of nature into your space.
Embracing Earthy Elegance with Majestic Beauty (Y7-D2-2)
Majestic Beauty is an earthy green with warm yellow undertones, making it the perfect base colour for any room. Its grounded feel brings a natural sophistication, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or spaces where you want to create a calming, elegant ambiance.
Design Inspiration:
Pair Majestic Beauty with organic textures such as linen, wool, or jute to create a warm and welcoming environment. Add wooden furniture with light finishes to enhance the earthy feel, or bring in accents of soft peach and pastel tones to complement the warmth.
Pastel Serenity with Plum’s the Word (P6-B2-1)
Looking for something soft yet distinct? Plum’s the Word offers a lovely pastel plum that adds a delicate touch of colour without overwhelming the space. This shade is ideal for creating a serene, light-filled atmosphere in bedrooms, nurseries, or reading nooks.
Design Inspiration:
To play up this gentle hue, consider white or cream-colored furniture, airy drapes, and plush rugs. For a bolder look, accentuate Plum’s the Word with soft gold or brass décor elements like mirrors or lighting fixtures.
Energise with Cedarburg (O4-A1-1)
For those wanting to make a statement, Cedarburg delivers a vibrant, bright orange that will bring a burst of energy into any room. This colour is perfect for feature walls or accent pieces in kitchens, dining rooms, or sunrooms, creating an inviting and invigorating space.
Design Inspiration:
Pair Cedarburg with modern furniture that has clean lines, perhaps in shades of white, grey, or navy, to let the orange pop. Incorporate natural elements like woven baskets, leafy plants, or even clay pottery to enhance the earthy, yet bold, vibe.
Soft & Subtle with Wind Drift (O1-B2-2)
If you’re after a delicate, barely-there touch of warmth, Wind Drift is a delicate peach hue with a subtle orange undertone. This colour brings a soft elegance to any room, making it a perfect backdrop for minimalist spaces, kitchens, or bathrooms.
Design Inspiration:
Combine Wind Drift with pale woods or light greys to maintain a soft, neutral palette. Enhance the delicate nature of this shade with transparent glass vases, neutral-toned textiles, and delicate plants like orchids or ferns.
Bring Nature Indoors with Silk Cocoon (Y7-A2-2)
Silk Cocoon is a greeny-yellow neutral that brings the vibrancy of nature indoors. It offers a refreshing, natural tone that works wonderfully in spaces where you want to feel connected to the outdoors, such as home offices, sunrooms, or entryways.
Design Inspiration:
Complement Silk Cocoon with natural materials like bamboo furniture, stone accents, and plenty of indoor plants. Add touches of white or beige to create a light and airy feel, or experiment with bold, patterned textiles in green and yellow hues to amplify the natural theme.
A Burst of Sunshine with Lemon Tang (Y6-A1-3)
Bright and cheerful, Lemon Tang is the ultimate sunny yellow that brings warmth and happiness into any room. This colour is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or spaces where you want to encourage energy and creativity.
Design Inspiration:
Pair Lemon Tang with crisp white walls or furniture for a fresh, modern look. For an even more playful feel, combine it with the vibrant green of Granny Apple (G2-A1-1) for a stunning contrast. Complete the look with bold artwork or colourful accessories to make the space truly pop.
Go Bold with Granny Apple (G2-A1-1)
Granny Apple offers a bright, vibrant green that’s all about bringing life and energy into your home. It’s perfect for accent walls, feature pieces, or even cabinetry, particularly in spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, or kid’s rooms.
Design Inspiration:
To balance the boldness of Granny Apple, pair it with natural wood tones, white walls, or soft beige upholstery. For a fun and lively vibe, accessorize with tropical plants, botanical prints, and colourful, eclectic artwork.
Luxurious Depth with Majestic Mountain (G2-D1-1)
Majestic Mountain, reminiscent of deep jungle green and monstera leaves, creates a dramatic and luxurious feel in any space. This rich colour works well in bedrooms, living rooms, or home libraries, where you want to evoke a sense of tranquillity and depth.
Design Inspiration:
Enhance the opulence of Majestic Mountain with dark wood furniture, gold accents, and velvet textures. Add a few large indoor plants, such as a monstera or fiddle leaf fig, to tie in the natural theme and create a space that feels lush and cozy.
