Complement pastel tones with white furnishings for a cosy, casual atmosphere. While the delicate hues are perfect for bedrooms, they’ll make kitchens or living rooms feel more peaceful and tranquil too. Introduce plants or fresh blooms in complementary hues to add a vibrant contrast.

Less is more – just a hint of gold will instantly add a luxurious touch to your home.
Look out for pieces that incorporate gold elements with other textures like wood and glass.
Since gold is eye-catching, make it a focal point on a table or ceiling, and try playing up shine with matte.
Gold Rush

Gold or brass-coloured accents are a sure way to elevate the luxe factor of a room. Choose from smaller decorative accents, like photo frames, or get bold with standout tables and chairs.
