The Moody Blues

Refreshing and tranquil, cool blues never go out of fashion – have fun playing with unusual combinations that make a statement in every room.

The dark side

 Cool and quirky, turquoise is seldom teamed with black. But Katie Farringer isn’t afraid of unusual colour combinations. The matte black backdrop for the blue kitchen cupboards in her Sky View Manor Guesthouse outside Stellenbosch not only makes the turquoise pop, but also makes the kitchen look bigger as it creates the illusion that the wall is receding. Yellow table legs and flower decals on the wall add a bit of fun.
