How to Create a Cohesive Colour Palette
Creating a cohesive colour palette throughout your home is such an important decorative tool. While it’s important for each room to have to its own personality for diversity, continuity and flow are incredibly important. Our beautiful collection of muted earthy tones, from mid to swampy and dark have all been designed to work alongside each other.
Our earthy, muted soft colours have all been designed to coordinate harmoniously together. From swampy hues and summery grasslands, to winter forests and even the colour of the earth after a downpour, these hues have all been inspired by nurturing landscapes. Blurring the lines between inside and out these stunning hues offer up a beautiful combination of colours that provide a sense of warmth, comfort and security.

Choose the room that you frequent the most as a start point for your whole house scheme.

Pick a Family of Colours
We generally advise between 4-6 colours throughout the whole house no matter how many rooms you have. Add in graduated tones in different strengths as this will provide you with a seamless colour journey from room to room. For example AA has used Madison Grey, Pickle, Hudson Black, Crosby, Kelp, Smudge & Bedford Brown in her pad and layered in both neutral tones and accessories with some inkier darker pieces which ground the whole palette and make it feel super sophisticated.
Create a Visual Link
When you link hallways and landings and powder rooms, clock rooms and mud rooms into your whole house colour scheme, you will create such a beautiful harmonious thread of hues that will have a fabulously cohesive feel. Every room will flow continuously which is what the world’s coolest interior designers routinely do.
