Colour tips to complement the seasons
As we spend time indoors to hibernate during the cooler months, there’s never been a better opportunity to grab a brush, shake things up and transform your home into your very own cosy sanctuary. Ready to roll? Here’s our round-up of hues to love right now.
Go neutral, stay natural
As the temperature drops, our desire to create a sense of warmth increases. To capture the seasonal mood, one of the key trends is a shift towards colours inspired by nature’s most desirable textures and shades including clay, leaves, wood, sand or stone.
Think muted tones and warm neutrals like beige, blush or deep greens to add calming properties to your space. And the best part? These hues score bonus points for longevity, as they’ll look just as good when we hit the summer months.

Don’t be afraid of colour
Colour can be daunting. But if you want to go all out and splash your walls with a vibrant hue, then go for it. Bold colours create a positive atmosphere that will make your space more homely and inviting.
Some of our go-to shades for are Sunken Treasure and Coast to Coast for vibrant blue-greens, or rich reds like Wine and Unwind or Close Your Eyes to create a coy space you’ll never want to leave.
Once your walls (and maybe even ceilings!) are painted, don’t be afraid to continue weaving colour into your life — try layering variations of your chosen shade with textiles, artwork and ceramics.

Layer up
Just like throwing on a knitted jumper, layering similar hues in your home creates a sense of warmth that the cooler months call for. To make this trend work for you, start with your winter shade of choice and build the room around your walls. By keeping a colour theme in your space you can easy add items that will give added personality to the room but all tie in nicely together.
This can also be achieved by reviving an old piece of furniture to match back with the colours you already have in your space. Painting a key piece of furniture or even a door in a space can really change the feel of a room. And keeping color changes to smaller projects like this make it super easy to replace when the time is right to change it up.
