2026 is shaping up to be a year of thoughtful colour choices. Less about dramatic change, more about how colour makes us feel - grounded, calm, energised, at ease.
Colours Used: Inchyra Blue by Farrow & Ball
Earthy depth
Deep, nature-led tones are coming through strongly - olive greens, muddy blues, ochres and warm plums. Used generously, they create cocooning living spaces that feel rich and comforting rather than dark.

Warm foundations
Cool greys continue to fall away in favour of warmer neutrals and mid-tones. These are colours with depth - soft clays, stone shades and gentle khakis, perfect as a base for both bold accents and quiet interiors.

Calm + joy
Alongside deeper hues, lighter tones have a place too. Soft blues, gentle pastels and mood-boosting colours bring balance, especially in bedrooms, kitchens and everyday spaces.
