OPPOSITES ATTRACT
Opposites, as we know, attract – and this is definitely the case in the spectrum. Blue and orange are complementary colours that work together beautifully. Lovers of warm, sunny orange will know that it can be a challenge to use, but the coolness of blue counteracts it perfectly, ensuring the palette is balanced.

COASTAL CHIC
The seaside is a place that springs to mind when you think of relaxing environments, and thus a great source of inspiration when it comes to home decorating. For this reason, beach style has never gone out of fashion – and it’s why incorporating a few simple reminders of it always succeeds in creating a feeling that’s welcoming, calm and relaxing.
