“Its rich, earthy tones allow it to work harmoniously across different design styles, creating a welcoming and grounded atmosphere,” says Velji, adding that it lends itself beautifully to both walls and cabinetry, where its warmth can create a cozy, refined atmosphere. He suggests pairing it with contrasting elements, such as matte black or polished brass fixtures, to highlight its richness. “For added depth and texture, incorporate natural stone materials like marble to provide a stunning contrast, one which balances the warmth of the colour with the coolness of the stone to create a sophisticated, yet inviting space,” he says.
