The Balance palette features delicate pastels, oceanic hues such as soft greens, and deep moody teals and blues, punctuated with accents of deep garnet and near-black. Colours featured: Dulux Pure Blue Half and Kimberley Sea.
Balance at home
With so much uncertainty and loss of control, there is a need to restore the balance and a sense of calm in our lives. In a post-pandemic world, some of us are needing the reassurance of rules and parameters. Beauty that is underpinned by structure reassures us. The allure of the ocean and its untapped potential draws us in and allows its calming effect to wash over us.
Elegant and refined, the harmonious lines of waves and the movement of the sea inspire colour and pattern in our interiors.

Understated elegance
Considered curation of objects and furniture results in a refined and less decorative look.

Balance Palette

Kimberley Sea and Sea Kelp reflect deeper watery hues. Casper White Quarter and Terrace White provide neutral options that work well with the stronger palette colours. Colours featured: Green Alabaster Half and Casper White Quarter.
