Sunny yellow

Sunny hues, that exude energy and vitality, are making a comeback in styling as an option to warm up homes and wardrobes.

CALM AND GROUNDED

Tones that evoke the natural world and warm neutrals that are synonymous with calmness inspire the popular calm and grounded palette of 2022.

Earthy tones

Many interior designers predict that greens of all undertones and shades will rapidly rise in popularity as society craves to bring the look and feel of the natural world into their homes or wardrobes. Additionally, there has been a resurgence in natural surfaces – think terracotta, marble, stoneware and travertine being used throughout the home, from bathtubs to benchtops and decorative objects to imitate the relaxing and restorative atmosphere of the outdoors.

Warm neutrals

Warm neutrals, including ivory, greys, and browns, are versatile and provide a feeling of calm and comfort, while being timeless.
