New neutrals for modern living. Taupe, greige and mushroom have replaced grey as a neutral base and are sky-rocketing in popularity. These warm shades are perfectly placed for any space and can be dressed up or down but stay ever-classy.

The days of optimism are pushing us towards warmer colour schemes; with off-whites and taupes as the foundation colours of the new aesthetic. Once considered as boring and uninspiring, the taupe interior trend is rapidly gaining traction and becoming a chic alternative for design enthusiasts. If you are looking to create a sophisticated space that oozes relaxation and wellness; to escape from the overwhelming hustle of the outside world, warm neutral hues are the way to go. They create a calm, resting environment, allowing us to unwind and regroup our thoughts and feelings.

It’s all about layering to create an interesting cosy feel. Style layers of textured fabrics for a show stopping interior. Think taupe velvet, the Viola Dining chair is a great option, boucle for snuggly texture like the Marie Storage Pouffe, and pair with jute style rugs such at the Etta and organic shaped ceramics. Light the way with sculptural lighting such as the Verona marble table lamp and a dried Wildflower Bouquet to finish off the look.

Beige and off-whites go hand in hand with our desire to surround ourselves with natural materials. We are going back to basics and focusing on tactility rather than visual excitement so our homes take on a more earthy, organic feel.
