Below, we’ve come up with our top five colour trends of 2023 to inspire your next cosmetic renovation project.
Serene Greens
From light sage to olive and contemporary forest and emerald shades, there are so many greens to choose from. Reminding us of the natural world, green offers a relaxed ambience – ideal for bedrooms and relaxing areas.
Pretty Pastels
