For my neutral living space I wanted to create a warm and sophisticated sanctuary. The Dulux Colours of New Zealand collection has a beautiful range of neutrals to choose from, and by carrying these hues through to the furniture and accessories, I was able to achieve a calming, tonal effect. Drawn to the luxe velvet and soft curves of the Gubi Stay Sofa, I paired this with a travertine table and sculptural accents. For elegant finishing touches I added pieces in wood, ceramic and brass.

The feature includes additional paint swatches to reflect the palette of my room. To see it in full alongside Evie’s contrasting bold space, pick up the latest Homestyle magazine, now on sale. With a focus on ‘moments of calm’ this issue, I’m taking away lots of inspiration from the beautiful pages!
