COOL
13 Pins
COOL / Style Decoded: cool connotes laid-back, chilled, recessive spaces; places that act as a backdrop to life, a stage allowing the occupants to be the performers. They do not shout, they whisper. Surfaces are smooth, superbly finished and most-likely to be glossy; bare wood is not part of this vocabulary. This is slick, urban style. However, cool is never allowed to be cold for there must always be an abundance of texture.
CALM
16 Pins
CALM / Style Decoded: calm is a super power. Collected, strong yet also soft enough to be accommodating. These are spaces that gently cosset, wrapping around their owners like a warm towel as you step out of a scented bath. They are gentle; the introduction of pale blue or pink tones taking the edge off cool. Natural textures start to creep in, and surfaces range from matt to metallics.
EASY
47 Pins
EASY / Style Decoded: Easy like Sunday mornings means an environment that soothes and relaxes; one that feels like a warm salve or a cold compress depending on what you need. As such the colours spring from the softer sides of the green and blue families, but add touches of grey and powder pink to lift and delight. A dash of turquoise or even chartreuse, would also work; and consider navy as your undertone. After all, you don't want everything to become so laid-back it verges on the lethargic!
EARTHY
22 Pins
EARTHY / Style Decoded: this is a palette that goes back to fundamentals; nature. Think elemental materials, in particular wood, balanced by the colours of the natural world from pale sky blues through the greens to terracotta, brown umber and burnt sienna. It's warm, enveloping, easy and made for comfort.
WARM
21 Pins
WARM / Style Decoded: How to do warm rooms without it feeling muddy. Think pale pinks, amber, umber hues.
WATERY
15 Pins
WATERY / Style Decoded: Oceanic hues. Deep blues and emerald greens. Cool and calming yet also warm and enveloping, a tricky double act to pull off! It's all about cosy green undertones here, not grey, as otherwise it'd all feel too cold.
DEEP
19 Pins
DEEP / Style Decoded: delving into deep, darker hues here. Rich plums, and other vine fruit shades! Kept contemporary though with smudges of grey and top notes of celadon. These are the complementary colours that balance out what could otherwise be the overly regal or arrogant overtones of the plum to purple spectrum.
