Corn Husk | Clever

Hey, you! We see you! You’re a problem-solver, you play well with others and you thrive when consistently rolling with the punches – figuratively, of course. And for you plate-spinners, home-cooked dinner brewers and lunch perfectors, we’ve got the perfect splash of colour.

This autumnal vibe brings forth ease of thought. It’s timeless as well as rich in tone and functions wonderfully against woods and other dark accents in your home. Celebrate your ingenuity and resourcefulness with this tone and express that most useful trait of yours.

Whether you choose lighter accents or darker ones, wood tones in all situations are a fantastic way to compliment this cleverly enthusiastic colour. And, it puts off a smart vibe whether you choose a hang-out space, or perhaps even a wall in the bedroom.

Fern Grotto | Chill

There is nothing worse than being bombarded with rattled and overly enthusiastic co-workers, friends or family that have the ability to throw you off of your game. You take it all in stride though and maintain that level of chill and ease that you are known for. With this gorgeous and bold flavour of colour, you can fully embrace that go-with-the-flow trait.

These natural vibes promote a more tranquil atmosphere, much like surrounding yourself in green vines and living plants, and will seep into your work-life balance as well.

The best way to maintain a natural, even outdoor feel in your space is to pair this cooler hue with white accents like shelves, fixtures and even brighter wood grains. You will feel like you’re working in the park where nothing can shake your chill.

Heirloom | Creative

Ah creatives, your mind is always twirling, cooking up your latest or next creative endeavour, and there’s definitely something to be said for your individuality and sense of style. That unique, slightly off-norm and wonderful eccentricity comes to life in your living space with a colour like Heirloom.

There is a wise and even cozy emotion brought forth by Heirloom. It’s classical music, but also somehow jazz? And that’s exactly who you are in your day-to-day life and your hobbies around the home.

Though it may feel counterintuitive, exploring some pops of bright colours in a room or against an Heirloom-coloured wall - say, in your living room with a splashy rug - is a truly unique and creative way to celebrate your space.

Tuileries Tint | Cheeky

Let’s be real, we can all look around our work-from-home space and pick out one or two things that we’ve placed within camera view that says “Hey! I’m fun!” Well, this is absolutely the perfect colour for those that like to play modern, stay fresh and express a bit of their fun side within their home.

If you’re the type of person that wants a fun and energetic space, but still seeks an elevated and mature take on the colour splash wall, Tuileries Tint is an exceptional choice. Especially for those with a bit of a joyous perk in their attitude.

With such a bright and spunky splash of vibrance on your wall, you will feel comfortable in pairing this colour with black and white accents and furniture. Keep it chromatic, and this tint will make your cheeky face blush with enjoyment.
