Step into the modern world with the new colour basics that extend beyond paint to include furnishings and decor

The Colour Edit
ROYAL RULINGS Undeniably the most sensual, colours with a satin, lustre finish have our heart. Used as solids, these jewel tones have quite the luxurious effect

STYLE SPIN

The intensity that jewel tones bring to a home is the very definition of decadence. Now, the misconception that jewel tones immediately translate to ethnic interiors dripping with crystals and bedazzled finishes, is so passé.

For a dramatic, modern space, layer varying tones in one or two colours. What this does, and does so fabulously, is punctuate the jewel effect throughout. Create a style based on contrasts and saturations, bereft of patterns and prints. The idea to is to keep the focus on the colour. Mustard, maroon, Prussian and emerald count as our favourites. What are yours?

MONOCHROME MAGIC

A style so effortless that it stands the test of passing seasons. A monochromatic interior can spell tranquility and drama, all in one breath

STYLE SPIN

Select one colour and just run with it! An interior styled after a monochromatic scheme is actually one of the most difficult styles to pull off. It requires astute layering, an intelligent hand at creating drama with play of light, and clever inclusion of colour variations. For a look that captures the Scandinavian hygge charm, shades of white, beige and brown are great for a monochrome inspired space.

For a dense, brooding approach, charcoal grey or moody blues are finding a lot of takers. These may not be the traditional application of this classic style, but that’s what makes it so relevant.
