Open Up Your Space With White!
Clean, crisp, comfortable. These are all words we associate with white - making it the perfect base colour when decorating with colour. From cathartic paint on your walls through to calming furniture, there are endless possibilities when considering infusing white into your space! Whether you want to choose our elegant white bedding set or want something a bit more lively, such as this textured Applewood signature set, white is the perfect starting point for interior design!
Whether you’re going for the Scandinavian, maximalist, simply want timeless bedding that goes with absolutely anything - white is a versatile way to complement any decor.
Add Colourful Accessories
Brightly coloured cushions, curtains and throws are the perfect way to add some spice to your space. Whether you want plush comfort or simply need an extra pop of colour, accent cushions are a fantastic means of decorating with colour, especially if you carefully clash prints for a dramatic finish.
Looking for something a tad more muted? Invest in a gorgeous, tasselled throw that complements every colour. Or, if you’re looking for a DIY project, you can invest in a range of exotic fabric, such as our Paradise fabric, a trendy floral pattern that is sure to catch your eye.
