Colours are magical. Each colour has its own meaning and effect. What’s more, in combination they can create a very particular atmosphere in your home. For example, combining similar tones from the same colour family creates harmony, while the combination of contemporary colours creates striking contrasts, which can even appear to flicker for a lively ambience, in the fullest sense of the word.
There are many possible combinations, but certain colours are more difficult to coordinate. Although beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, when it comes to certain colour combinations, they can often appear to clash.

The light-coloured wall panelling brings out the charm of these well-loved objects and places them front and centre. Traces of wear tell the story of an object – and that is exactly what makes shabby chic and vintage looks so unique.
