PINK AND GREEN SHOULD BE SEEN
Sitting at opposite ends of the colour wheel, pink and green are a match made in heaven. But when they take a pastel twist, the look becomes even more whimsical. This striking wall-hung vanity unit pops against the soft pink wall for a space that will brighten your every morning.

GO ALL OVER WITH ELEGANT LILAC
Lilac is big news in the interior design sphere at the moment, and we’re expecting to see a surge in this pretty pastel shade through spring/ summer 2022. With its bluey undertones, lilac works well in south-facing rooms, where the cool tones balance out the yellow warmth of the sun. We love the colour courage of taking the shade on all walls and floors in this space. Sticking to black and white in the furniture and accessories gives an edge to the scheme but lets the lilac do the talking.
