The Dark Side
There’s no need to be afraid of the dark. Velvety hues of indigo, mulberry, charcoal and olive will create a sophisticated look with decadent depth.
It’s time to turn to the dark side...

Precious Jewels
Dark doesn’t mean dingy layers of grey and black. Instead, opt for luxurious jewel tones such as sapphire, amethyst and emerald. These dramatic, colour-rich hues will make your lounge feel warm and welcoming. Mixing dark colours will help to make each one pop, and if you’re brave, why not add some pattern such as our gorgeous Midnight Garden cushion.

Briony 2.5 Seater Pillow Back in Velvet Touch – Woodland Moss
Winter Olive
Rich olive green looks stunning against a backdrop of dark aubergine. If you want to lighten the look, why not add statement pieces of copper such as lighting or vases.

Midnight Berry
Mix deep berry tones with Midnight blue for a dramatic yet relaxing look. Keep the dark theme going with furniture in Walnut and accessories in luxurious black marble.
Finish the Look
Like the idea of dark décor, but not sure how to accessorise? Choose pieces from the dramatic, jewel-toned palette or opt for burnished inspired metallics. Dark florals are a massive trend this season – introduce them in the form of a vintage style print or a huge bouquet of faux flowers. Finish the look with something a little bit quirky – we love this Victorian-inspired cabbage dish and these brass monkey candle holders.
