Play with Pops of Colour
It's no surprise that neutrals and muted colours are all the rage — a well-curated neutral palette is timeless. However, introducing a splash of colour into your living space is a great way to add some joy and personality to your home. Although decorating with colour might seem intimidating at first, you can find hues that not only enhance your home but also complement your lifestyle and bring out your personality. Buckle down, take a deep breath, and open your mind – and eyes – to the beautiful possibilities of colour.
Small colour treasures

Colour your kitchen Your kitchen is the heart of your home, and adding colour is the perfect way to bring an extra element of warmth. Pedersen + Lennard has created some fun pieces to accomplish this. Their Breadbin, a birch ply structure with a mild steel lid that doubles as a recipe book stand, will not only add a lifetime of use but also bring joy to this special space. And you’ll be spoiled for choice when deciding on a shade. Yellow for cheerfulness, teal for a sense of calm, red for exuberance and passion – these and several other options are available and ready to colour your kitchen.
For the counter, why not look at their iconic bucket bar stool? These handmade steel bucket chairs have been featured all across the globe and still, they are one of our firm favourites!
