When we decorate our homes, neutrals are an essential; they create a unifying palette that allows us to combine bolder accents. The neutrals this season have a stronger emphasis on texture and depth of colour, adding warmth and comfort to our interiors. Take a step away from beige, taupe and white with a hint of something, and move towards a more retro neutral palette of lavender, blush pink, mint and peach; these pastel shades are softer and more subtle than their bubblegum counterparts. The tranquil quality of these neutral shades is enhanced by your choice of materials, textures and finishes for the pieces of furniture in your room, creating a tonal flow of colours that translates seamlessly from one space to the next.
Here is our selection of wallpapers from the latest Spring collections that capture the new neutrals trend.
