CURATED SCHEME

Vibrant Expression

Fit for an open-plan kitchen-come-dining room, James and Saskia's scheme perfectly balances form and function, blending a coastline-inspired pattern with muted reddish tones and floral motifs. Whilst suitably placed in dining areas, this scheme is easily adapted and can work wonderfully in other living spaces, and even workspaces and bedrooms.

"We looked to global references when shaping the scheme, layering bold, earthy colours and expressive patterns – classic Howark!"
