Soft and simple, these sanctuary colours create a hushed environment to retreat to, and to embark on mindful living. Somewhere we can recharge our emotional and physical batteries after being constantly bombarded by technology, social media and fast-paced graphics. This is the Scandi look of recent years, but in a slightly stronger way. The colours are still soft but where there might have been just pale grey and cool white, there are now a range of soft muddied pastels. Weathered, aged surfaces feed our souls with nostalgia. Possessions are restricted to only those we love, which are purposeful and beautiful as we shift our clutter online and into the cloud. Colours are warm greys, weathered pinks, ochres, dusty greens, washed blues and aged translucent creams. Seek sanctuary with hushed tones.
