Choose a calming palette

When you want to bring serenity into your room, make friends with gentle shades of off-white. Play around with layers of textiles and accessories to build up the mood and express your ideas.

Switch things up with a cushion or two

Cushions are easy change-makers – even in an all-white colour scheme. Focus on combining a mix of textures and patterns in off-white tones and light neutrals for a tactile and calming finish.
