The shades that defined 2016

In 2016, there was no escaping the pink craze. Pantone named the soft and soothing Rose Quartz its Colour of the Year, while shades like rose gold and berry-toned reds inspired by nature also rose to prominence. To balance the sweetness of pink, grey stepped in as the perfect counterpoint, softening the romance and offering a modern alternative to classic beige and white backdrops.

More is more

Ten years ago, homes became an even stronger stage for self-expression. Organic shapes, visible craftsmanship, and a collected, curated feel brought warmth storytelling into interiors, while rich patterns, graphic prints, bold colours, and layered details made each home truly one of a kind. In 2016, your home was absolutely allowed to look like you – and personality, by the way, is a trend always worth embracing.
