fluidity

Seduced by the current trend for curves and sinuous shapes, we meander into an organic realm where hard edges are softened with flowing lines

Orange and green always work together because they share the commonality of yellow in their make-up. In this room, the stability of the muted green allows the stronger oranges to stand out. The variation of these tones works in harmony due to their inherent warmth. Each hue contains ochre, umber or red oxide, which means the colours relate to each other, translating into a balanced and inviting scheme despite the clear difference in tonal strength. Although orange and green could be thought of as a classic colour scheme, the use of terracotta and high gloss woodwork makes for a more contemporary finish here.

The blend of greens creates depth and dynamism. The tonal variation of khaki, the olive tone of the sofa, the yellow-based green on the ceiling and the mid-green of the plants achieves a balanced scheme. Similarly with the orange and terracotta, each element is a different hue yet the lamp, candle, table and lampshade are all from the same family, working to tie the scheme together.
