04 — Principles

Three rules of the palette.

  1. ILow horizonFurniture sits low and long. Sightlines stay open, ceilings feel taller, rooms feel calmer.
  2. IIWarm neutralsBone, oat and oak, with a single dark accent to anchor each room. Colour comes from material, not paint.
  3. IIIFewer, betterOne handmade object where three factory ones would go. Every surface earns its place.
