Eucalyptus has to be one of the most beautiful sprays of greenery to decorate with. I love the delicate blue/green colour that is beautifully touched with grey.

Eucalyptus looks fabulous in any setting and as a colour works perfectly with other neutrals. I have shown it here with a soft pale greige and mid tone and dark browns. This is a stunning natural colour palette that is perfect for interiors.

Lovers of colour and those dedicated to updating their homes will really connect with this quote. It is so true!

I read this in the introduction of one of my favourite books on colour, Farrow & Ball's How to Decorate. This really resonates with me - does it with you?

These are some of my go-to beige colours that I know work really well.

Haymes and Resene paints also make their ranges of beige tones from very pale to dark so that you can select the right tonal level for your home. This can be really useful if you would like to use different strengths of a colour in your bedrooms to the open plan living area.

It also works well for finding the right off white for your trims and ceiling. This way you get a neutral colour palette that works really well.

The full blog post about getting beige right is over on my blog. Click the link in my bio to read more.

If you are looking at buying a classic piece of furniture; sofas, occasional chairs or dining chairs, you should consider using tan leather for a classic piece that will work for many different schemes from Scandi through to Transitional styles.

My blog feature shows you how to incorporate this into different styles and rooms, so if you are looking for a classic piece that will stand the test of time, this may be the right option for you. Click in the link in my bio to read the full post.

Duck Egg Blue has to be one of the most enduring colours in terms of popularity. It is always in fashion in some form or other.

This delicate colour on the cusp of green and blue, works perfectly with white, but you can also use it successfuly with greige and beige tones.

Is this a favourite of yours?

How often have you heard the term, it’s just too

How often have you heard the term, it’s just too beige? You may as well say, something is just too boring.

It is a travesty that poor beige has been relegated to the bottom of the pile when it comes to colour.

It gets such a poor rap, but in my recent post, I will be showing you beige done right: stylish ways to use this classic hue.

How do you like the sound of Putnam Ivory, Jute, Cinnamon Sugar, Sandbar, Parchment or Oak Buff?
Doesn’t this conjure up some fabulous ideas? They’re all beige, from mainstream paint companies, they just sound more exciting.

Beige, unfortunately, has just never incited passion. It is however, a perfect foundation hue, just sitting quietly in the background, letting other colours shine.

When we think of a desert colour palette, we oft

When we think of a desert colour palette, we often think of really warm colours, ochre, reds and sandy yellows.

However, a natural colour palette of browns, greige and greens works equally well to evoke this feeling.

This is my natural colour palette of desert colours to create an organic, earthy style for your home.
