If your love affair with neutral schemes is fading, then give them a new lease of life with this year’s must have colour - powder pink. A physically soothing colour, soft pinks will calm and reassure, and are the perfect complement to last season’s chalky greys, creams and beiges.

This look is not necessarily feminine, so forget frills and flounces, the idea is to create a soothing, welcoming atmosphere with clean lines and no clutter. Pick up on pink with accessories and soft furnishings or use as a subtle backdrop to a more pared down palette.

Avoid fussy paint effects and go for blocks of subtle colour, for added interest inject just a hint of pattern, then finish with tactile surfaces such as washed woods, linens and textured paints.
