As we heal our rifts with nature, we fill our spaces with humble and authentic tones, inviting in an interplay of beautiful imperfections. The worn and weathered is reborn alongside the new and modern. Optimism and peace is restored.

Hues such as Cinnamon Sand can create a warm but natural colour palette that is perfect in a cosy space. Natural linens, rough painted brick and weathered architectural details create a homely and relaxed atmosphere.

Repair is about using what you have and making it special through the process of mixing and matching with newer, modern pieces. Look for well-loved vintage items that may need some extra care spent to bring them back to life. Use a backdrop of neutral hues such as Ohai Half, allowing furniture details to shine.

Uplifting colours smooth out the rough edges with their authentic optimism. Highlight cabinetry with colour you love and pare back strong schemes with natural finishes such as timber and concrete.

Staying within a colour family is an easy way to create a harmonious colour scheme. Combine mustard with yellow-based green and warm timber finishes for a cohesive look and feel.

While bedlinen is a beautiful way to create layers in your bedroom, there are plenty of other materials that can create interest. Textured linen, rattan, vintage rugs and worn concrete come together for a lovely layered effect.

The Japanese art of Kintsugi brings new beauty to broken items by filling the cracks and scars with gold. Taking inspiration from this craft, Repair celebrates worn, weathered and vintage items that reveal their character and story through their imperfect appearance.
