Minty Fresh

Gone are the days of grey everything. In no time at all it is going to stand out as a dated look. But, if like so many people (coz let’s not lie, grey was once upon a time a fresh and very long-lasting trend) you embraced it and went all out in your homes, then injecting some minty freshness could be the perfect way to gradually update and banish the grey. Mint green brings a sophistication amongst a heavy dose of grey. It’s a perfect upscaling colour. Leading to pairings with other colours, and in time making the grey in your homes a neutral accent colour rather than the main act. Consider a statement piece like a sofa in a fresh spearmint colour, with soft furnishings; rugs, throws, curtains and accessories in varying minty hues and you are well on your way to an updated modern look.
