For the latest issue of Homestyle I was enlisted by Dulux to create a living space alongside fellow Dulux ambassador and talented creative Evie Kemp. With my theme being 'neutrals' and Evie's being 'bold', we had the fun task of combining paint colours to show our take on how to live your best life with the Dulux Colours of New Zealand collection.
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.
