From rich walls to velvet furnishings and luxurious brass finishes, this season’s interiors are all about colour and texture Words: Gabrielle Blackman
Geometric chic Liſt your bold colour scheme with this pretty, abstract flat-weave rug.
The trend: jewel walls Grey has officially had its day. Tis season, it’s all about sultry shades. Tink midnight-navy, nearly-black green or vibrant teal. Choosing one of these rich, dark wall colours is the quickest way to update your interiors. For a total overhaul, bring the room to life with bright sofas, cushions and lampshades, and complete the look with edgy, industrial finishes and a boldly patterned rug. Tis is the best fun you can have with paint — trust me.
