COMPILED BY Rebecca Sayle

We graduate from the modern minimalist and delve into the colour rich, and fabulous palette of inky hues.

Accented with shiny, luminous metal accessories, which bounce light around giving a classic feel, while exaggerating cosiness. We stress to not shy away from the moodiness of this palette, embrace shadows and let corners blur into darkness to give any space plenty of mystery and zing.

*Part of this palettes adornment is from the inspiration from JEWEL TONES. Check here for our favourites - for product requests. Please send an enquiry to editor@traffic.net.nz
