Colour Inspiration From Kawakawa Leaves
We are surrounded by inspiration, so when developing paint colours, and creating colour schemes, I am always on the look out for new combinations of saturations and tones. The colours of these dried Kawakawa leaves are rich in indigo, soft green, walnut brown, and blushed taupe. It’s one of my favourite teas for a revitalising tonic too. I loved the synchronicity at the launch today of new furniture and furnishings in similar colours.
BTW note no ‘chopped’ cushion in sight !! Stop it with the chopping people.

Colours to Brighten Your Mind
Bright subtropical plants reminiscent of the vibrant colours painted on Mexican Architect, Luis Barrigan’s building – ‘Casa Gilardi’. Ricardo Legoretta, another inspiring Mexican Architect, also embraced these strong bright hues. Legoretta once said about his process “I don’t select colour, I feel it”. The selection of colour is an integral part of their designs.
