Calming Neutral colours

There are many benefits to using neutral colours around your home, it’s a classic staple trend that never goes out of style.

Neutral colours work well with other neutral colours- of course they do, but they also work well with bold accent colours, so if you do get a bit bored you can update this style very easily with a pop of colour in small doses.

Did you know that neutral wallpapers work well with texture?

Why not add a textured wallcovering or a tactile cushion to your neutral sanctuary. You will be able to find these in store and our team would be more than happy to point you in the right direction

Add some greenery to your homes

From olive green to racing green, the possibilities are endless with this vibrant colour. Proving to become extremely popular in the interior design world at the minute everybody wants to add some greenery to their home.

Paint experts have predicted that we will be seeing a lot more green within our homes over the next year.

Why not add some real greenery to your home?

Multiple studies have proven that indoor plants keep you healthier and happier, offering both psychological and physical health benefits.

A selection of house plants would be the perfect finishing touch in any home, just remember to keep them watered.

Warming tones

Warm colours are associated with passion, joy, and playfulness, they have a great ability to make big rooms feel cosier and add a dose of positive energy. Perfect for rooms with a lot of activity such as living room, dining room and even kitchens.

Warm colours such as reds, purples, and oranges can really transform a room even if they are used as accents.

In fact, Graham and Browns' colour of the year is Epoch, a proud regal purple that adds that wow factor to any room.

If you plan on using a warm colour as an accent, you will find a range of home decor from mirrors, cushions and more to complement this style in-store.
