The Return of Colour

Believe it or not but it's true... colour is making a comeback. I have to say that as much as we are the main advocate for simple, natural design, it's quite refreshing to see an outburst of colour - especially in London!

We're predicting a very colourful year at Maison et Objet this September! ;)







Pastel Tones

Pastel tones are a great addition to a modern, minimal interior. Pastels look best in small amounts, just as bright accent colours, so use sparingly to add a bit of warmth. I especially love the idea of painting the backs of chairs with different pastel colours!









A Touch of Sunshine

Since it's apparent that the British summer is never going to reach the temperatures we all hope for, I think it's time to take things into our own hands and insert a touch of sunshine into our lives through our interiors. A splash of yellow sunshine here and there as an accent colour would do us all good. ;)









Peonies

Another one of my favourite flowers but so difficult to get hold of. I know they don't bloom just yet but I'm posting about them in anticipation of early summer, when for a few weeks I can decorate my home (and probably our office too) with peonies.







Seeing Red

We are currently stepping right out of our comfort zone with a RED room design for a client. We've almost had to be convinced of this choice as we would rarely recommend for a whole room to be painted in one, dark colour but we have to say that it does work! When this room is finished it's going to be fantastic and we can't wait to take some nice pictures of it to add to our website.

Here are some other red rooms we think work:







Grey and Yellow

Our favourite colour and a bright accent colour.
We love this colour combination as there are so many ways to do it - depending on the grey you choose, you can achieve either a very bold contrast or a more soft, harmonious difference. Either way, it always looks great as long as you keep the yellow to a minimum!






Bursts of Colour

England, especially London, can be so very dull at times. Not that we're ones to talk with our natural grey colour palettes but we should all strive to use more colour! It's not like we'd every go crazy with colour (simple does it), but we LOVE little additions or BURSTS of colour as we like to call them - accents can add so much to a design without being overwhelming.







Silhouettes

I've seen a lot of black and white silhouettes being used in design recently and there's something about this statement style that I really like, especially as it can be done in so many different ways. Although I like the bold contrast, I am personally more keen on the subtle, soft silhouettes.
