With Living in Colour, we’re inviting you to explore how colour shows up in your home and what it means to you. We've gathered together lots of different ideas and inspiration below all around exploring the joy of colour.
Whether you lean towards soft, calming colours or joyful, louder ones, we hope these pages help you think about how you use colour to create spaces that feel personal, comforting and full of life.

Our Colour Worlds
Sunshine Softened
This palette is rich and full of warmth – earthy saffron, deep olive, terracotta and powder blue, all softened with time. Like a spice market at golden hour, it’s both grounding and uplifting. There’s a sense of adventure here. These colours will bring depth to any room. These are colours that spark the senses and stir the soul, and we’re very exited to be here.
Summer by the Sea
This colour palette is sunshine-soft and joyfully nostalgic. Mellow yellows that feel like morning light, with fresh greens and easygoing blues that feel familiar like the playful spirit of the 1980’s. A tiny pop of pink brings just the right amount of fun, adding warmth and whimsy without stealing the show.
Barely There
This palette is soft and sun-faded – gentle blues, earthy greens and dusty romantic pinks, like colours you’d find in old botanical prints or washed-out summer linens. Nothing too bold here, just a calming blend that feels lived-in, loved, and super easy to layer.
