It really makes the space come together.

It is a priority for me in my work to bring a home together with the colour palette. is does not mean a boring, non-descript palette! I prefer to use neutrals yet I like to mix them in unusual ways.

I love oversized bowls filled to the brim with huge pinecones and glass spheres.
