Look what’s trending: coastal tones
Living by the sea in Wicklow, in Ireland’s scenic south-east, has made me fall in love with the coastal palette.
On a cloudy day, musky blues and calming greys dominate the sky. On a clear day, bright blues introduce the day and then transform into soothing hues of pink and orange in the evening.
The palette is always complemented by a sandy neutral, and that soft white that tips each breaking wave.
Here are some of my favourite coastal home accessories…
