Looking to learn from traditional crafts and techniques, Legacy takes iconic forms and elegant looks and marries them with modern statements of style. It calls up history’s most cherished classics and icons and adapts them to fit a new, modern vision.

Saturated hues are tempered by paler shades such as Legendary Lilac and Pink Linen Half, creating a perfect backdrop to an intermingling of old-world charm and new-world chic.

Rich, bold colour can be a powerful decorating tool. For a tonally immersive experience, call on variations within the same colour family. Here we’ve graduated from the rich red of Dulux Belly Fire, through to the softer pinks of Dulux Pink Linen Half.

You may fall in love with a fabric, an artwork or the embroidery on your favourite cushion; try sourcing your wall colour from these most-loved elements. Here we feature Deep Aqua, inspired by this botanical patterned bed linen.

Purple hues such as Hothouse Orchid and Purple Verbena can exude a certain luxury when paired with pieces that balance elegance and austerity with elements of the precious and plush.

The Legacy trend mixes up design references and takes inspiration from a whole range of eras in order to create something new. Celebrating iconic designs through the re-release of a classic piece, like this Featherston Expo Talking chair, is a perfect example of how Legacy pays homage to its past, with a vision to the future.

Use your existing spaces to prompt new decorating ideas. Details like this beautiful leadlight window can be a great source of inspiration. The colours of the Legacy palette are drawn from these more traditional features, but can appear more contemporary when used in a bold way.
