This palette was inspired by a need to find a somewhere for clarity and contemplation – a place to think. This is a smooth, polished and refined look but with a relaxed edge. It’s about achieving a balance between boutique hotel chic and real house warmth.

A peaceful bedroom

In the bedroom above, an elegant mix of warm neutrals, with the rich tones of Spiced Honey (Creme Brulee 00YY 26/220) at its heart, sets up a mood of calm and contemporary comfort. Mid-century modern furniture and brass and copper detailing give an edge that is contrasted with tactile velvets and soft knitted fabrics.

A soothing kitchen

This kitchen creates subtle drama which lies in the contrast between its offbeat shades. From the intense charcoal-blue of the cabinets, to the neutral-pink of the walls and the versatile Spiced Honey (Creme Brulee 00YY 26/220) that here takes on a golden tone in the slender stripe near the ceiling. Graphic artwork and copper accessories complete this quirky but refined room.
