Calming chalky greens - Is green the new grey?

It's everywhere in interiors right now. It's synonymous with nature and calming qualities, which could explain its popularity for creating a contented home. But for those that can't let go of grey, there's a colour palette to suit.

Crown have identified a trend called 'Liminal' which features a colour palette of chalky aqua shades that are an ode to the natural world. The use of subtle chalky tones and soft grey blues help to create the perfect gentle background to build a furnishing scheme on top of.

'An appreciation of the natural world, Liminal showcases modern minimalism, with beautifully crafted furnishings and a quiet palette of neutral tonal colour' explains Kathryn Lloyd, Crown Colour Consultant. 'Homeowners are now wisely considering exactly what they place in a room – so much so that a space becomes carefully curated. The result is a retreat consisting of dry, chalky, comforting textures and single use, easy on the eye, colour.'
