Browns are a beautiful earthy grounding colour. They vary in tone and shade and can be dark or light. Lighter versions of brown include beige, tans, toffee or taupe. Browns can achieve a feeling of safety and security in your home.
Thoughtful detail
Creating a calm space
The pale buttery yellow Studio Cream stands out in the Still palette. It is a soft highlight in otherwise neutral spaces and a warm and comforting shade for the study, living rooms and bedrooms.
Design tip
Studio Cream adds a perfect lightness when paired with subtle terracottas and browns ranging from toffee to chocolate.
Walls
Studio Cream
Yellows are vibrant and reflective and can create a happy and bright environment. Yellow is warm and is perfectly suited for south-facing spaces. Yellows can be used in casual living areas, hallways and entry spaces to create a light-filled bright setting.
Understated luxury
Demonstrating a broader cultural movement towards sustainability and a renewed appreciation of traditional craftsmanship, the trend is full of thoughtful and considered materiality choices.
Design tip
When considering midtone colours for paint, try using them on all four walls – especially in bedrooms and formal living spaces. For smaller spaces, use smaller volumes on either one or two walls.
Bringing nature into your home
Encouraging a deeper connection with nature, the subdued palette is filled with calming neutrals, and grey midtone shades as accents that exude warmth and a sense of ease.
The Still palette is likely to be popular with home enthusiasts with its beautiful warm neutrals, muted darker tones, yellow-based greens and greyed-off blues.

Eco-mindfulness
Lighter neutrals in this palette such as Slight Mushroom remind us of the need for a deeper connection with nature. Still focuses on design that encourages sustainable living practices, integrating biophilia, the use of eco-friendly and non-toxic or natural materials, recycling or upcycling practices in furniture and décor as well as emphasis on circular manufacturing.
Design tip
Metal accents alongside paper, cord and leather, and primitive-style line work patterns can enrich the sensory experience in your home.
Slow design
The trend demonstrates a broader cultural movement towards sustainability, simplicity and a renewed appreciation of traditional crafts.
Design tip
Consider using darker colours as accents for decorative objects, textures and furniture against a neutral backdrop.
