The Wholeself Palette
Wholeself warms you up and cools you down with soft blushes and hints of grey-green. Enticing neutrals and glamorous golds are tempered by a cool base of mauve greys.
A soothing tonal palette helps to create a room where you can switch off both visually and mentally. Beauty is found in subtle textural details and quiet colour accents.
Evoke a feeling of relaxation and wellness
Evoke a feeling of relaxation and wellness in your guest room or retreat by using a soft green such as Dulux Wainui Beach. For a truly chilled space, choose tonal hues for your other elements.
Decor
Cavelli Islands
Cavelli Islands a bright and zesty yellow with a green undertone. Use it as an accent colour such as on a front door for a bright and cheerful welcome.
Classic and bold
Crumbling antiques create a beautiful contrast against contemporary décor in classic forms, and precious materials of brass and marble. Bold modern colour breaks from tradition and creates a distinction from the past.
Add a touch of indulgence to your spaces by combining luxe finishes with a palette of precious jewel tones. 20th century relics are reborn into the new millennium.
Be adventurous with colours you love. Deep moody hues when combined with classic 30's cues blend with bold 60's style create an ‘eclectic classic’ look.
