Colour of the month

Gentle yet somehow also a statement shade, soft pink is an evocative hue that has a wonderful sophistication, allowing it to work for both modern and classic rooms

- JO BAILEY

'The undertones of this shade of pink complement the warmth of leather and a range of wood tones. Alternatively, you can bring a pop of colour by pairing with red furnishings for an updated take on the monochromatic style. HELEN SHAW, director, Benjamin Moore

1. Adding a touch of soft pink in the form of curtains can really bring a sense of gentleness and calm to a room. Be wary of anything too saccharine in colour, you'll tire of it very quickly. Instead find a lovely faded out shade. ANGELICA SQUIRE, founder, Studio Squire
