Soft & Stable

A calming trio of warm, grounded neutrals that bring quiet confidence to any space. Think of these shades like a supportive backdrop to life at home. Mindful sets the tone with its barely-there taupe, Naptime adds soft warmth, and Sweater Season rounds things off with a gentle sandiness. These shades all feel steady, soothing, and contemporary too.

Living Nature

Living Nature is a grounded edit, driven by the earthy shades that we naturally connect with. Colours that are observed a lot in nature make us feel effortlessly at ease. Jojo’s Green leads as a mineral, greyed-off green that’s fast becoming a classic. Next Tuesday builds on it with more warmth. Rooted completes the trio as an earthy mid-beige that's quite unique - but comforting. Together these shades harness the power of what we observe in nature.

Quietly Confident Colour

This feel-good edit is about leaning in to colour, that feels effortless and never shout-y. Reverie sets the mood as a dusty, architectural pink that feels soft and grow up. La Torre adds depth as a grounded, earthy red that manages to be confident but softly-spoken. Ziggy’s Yellow completes the trio with a sunlit warmth that brightens spaces but never dominates them. Together, they create an uplifting palette of future classics designed to add colour - not distraction.
