Spring Clean for Easter!

A crisp, sunny start to March signals the arrival of Spring so time to clear away those Winter warmers and freshen up for Easter! A clean colour palette of gentle chalk tones add a light touch to the home. A tender colour palette of Duck Egg Blue, Leaf, Zinc, Hen's egg, Twig and Blossom refresh and renew.

For more information on anything shown in the above images please click on the names under each photograph to go through to their respective web sites. I create my mood boards/colour palettes with a computer programme called Photoshop by Adobe which is available for both Apple Mac and PC computers.

The colour swatches shown above I create as a suggestion for furnishings, carpets, ornaments, fixtures, fittings and paints. They do not come from manufacturers charts but I am sure that if you want to use them for paint shades that your favourite supplier will be happy to help match them. 

As always, if I have featured your photograph and you would rather I didn't, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will remove it with my sincerest apologies. 

With warmest wishes
