From the comforting warmth of Solstice, the nostalgic vibrancy of Muse, to the rich and eclectic Journey, these palettes are designed to transform spaces into personal havens of expression and storytelling.
Solstice: A Warm Embrace of Sun and Comfort
The Solstice palette is a serene blend of sun-loving warmth, designed to evoke feelings of comfort, familiarity, and welcome. Inspired by the minimalist Scandinavian design style and enriched with the vibrant warmth of the Mediterranean and desert landscapes, Solstice is a celebration of organic hues. These rich colours cocoon us, evoking strength and joy, making it perfect for creating soothing retreats in our homes.
Imagine transforming your living room into a tranquil sanctuary, where the warm tones of the Solstice palette create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and socializing. The palette’s earthy tones, like terracotta and soft beige, pair beautifully with natural textures and materials, bringing a sense of calm and groundedness to your space.
Muse: A Retro Reverie of Color and Style
Muse is a nostalgic journey back to the spirited styles of the postmodern era, particularly the 70s. This palette strikes an exquisite balance between the expressive colours of postmodern interiors and the modern hues of contemporary design. Muse is a colourful array that creates a distinctly modern interior, fused with nostalgic design references from the 60s to the 80s, including the textures and glamour of the 70s.
Envision your dining area adorned in the Muse palette, where bold hues like mustard yellow, burnt orange, and deep teal come together to create a dynamic and lively space. The addition of retro-inspired furniture, patterned fabrics, and vintage accessories enhances the room’s character, making it a perfect setting for lively dinners and gatherings.
Journey: A Cultural Tapestry of Rich Hues and Stories
Journey is inspired by our travels and the cultural differences we embrace. At its core, this palette celebrates the art of storytelling, where mythical iconography and cherished folk traditions add layers of colour and depth. Journey is a maximalist’s dream, featuring rich mid-tone hues that reflect the diverse tapestry of our lives.
Picture your bedroom transformed into an eclectic haven with the Journey palette. Colours like warm ochre, deep blue, and rich red create a bold backdrop. The room is adorned with patterned fabrics, time-worn rugs, wicker chairs, and an array of multi-coloured trinkets. Each element in the room tells a story, reflecting a life well-traveled and rich in experiences.
