Breathing life into all white rooms

In interior design, white never goes out of style. It is cool, calm and neutral and helps to create a feeling of light and space. We think that last year’s trend for all white rooms was a little too much of a good thing, though – having a monochrome palette can be flat and boring and makes it hard to stamp your personality on a space.

Fortunately, it is easy to inject a pop of colour into a neutral background to brighten it. Placing carefully chosen splashes of bold colour and texture draws the eye to a focal point and adds interest. The beauty of using accessories to add colour is that it is easy to change the look without major work or redecoration – think of your white room as a canvas, and use accessories to create the look that you want.

Colour can have a strong effect on your mood, with blues and greens being calming and soothing, reds and pinks bringing warmth and a sense of cosiness and yellow and orange making you feel energised and uplifted. Adding some of our beautiful, bold, handmade cushions or bed runners to plain white bedding will give it an instant lift, adding texture as well as colour.

All our products are Fairtrade, handmade with love and pride in Sri Lanka by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and paid a fair wage for their skill. The results are stunning home accessories, each one slightly different and unique, which will breathe life and warmth into any room.
