Learn to layer for a cosy look

We live increasingly multi-dimensional lives, with hidden depths revealing themselves the more we look. Tell your own story through design by creating a rich layered effect using colours, fabrics and furniture.

The colours that make up this trend are soft, sunny pastels with a nostalgic, childhood feel – think egg yolk yellow, warm terracotta, blush pink, eggshell blue and lilac tones.

Complemented by warm neutrals like pale parchment and sand, you will find that this beautiful palette is both uplifting and calming.

Tap into this trend using clusters or groups of colour, rather than one single shade on its own. Continue the theme by choosing furniture in subtle neutral shades, like blonde wood and honey-coloured beech. Then, add more layers with your choice of fabrics and ornaments – this will help you create a sense of depth.

You will find that this multi-faceted scheme reflects the busy world outside, while the fresh colour palette creates a beautiful, calm atmosphere to relax in.
