CHEYENNE | 407A

A softer, more human version of grey, Moon Shot forms a perfect backdrop for a minimalistic lifestyle.

Soft Minimalism embraces the raw beauty of materials in their most natural state. It celebrates imperfection as a design strength rather than a flaw. The style evokes a sense of organic, natural calm rooted in a palette of muted blue-grey, soft blush and warm greige.

Celebrate patterns and craftsmanship. Play with the palette on a variety of surfaces and in a variety of products and sheens. Embrace textures and materials. Don’t just decorate. Create. Make an art piece or accent wall to showcase coordinating colours.
