1 UNEXPECTED COLOUR HITS
The free-spirited soul in you will delight in colour’s powerful ability to deliver a welcome upbeat energy to neutral spaces. Art was the springboard for the happy colours of the sofas, while cushions offer able assistance in tying the two colours together.

Designing a new home or remodelling? Make maximising views and light your goal. And what better way to accomplish that than to have large panes of glass integrated into the design? Not only do they connect indoors and out, they also offer an airy openness you can accentuate with a vaulted ceiling. The clean lines of modern architecture call for windows with a contemporary edge, but for personality, allow for a hint of rusticity in your home’s material choices, and bold colour.
2 OPEN YET CONNECTED
Nurturing neutrals and large expanses of glass bestow a sense of space to rooms – not small, nor huge – that need to multi-task without feeling cramped. Tools to define zones yet maintain an outdoor connection include woody materials, colour and size-appropriate furniture.
