Decorating trend: Carnival spirit
Team soft pink tones with earthy greens for a fresh, exuberant feel.
When used on a print, this combo sings like a bird.
Go wild in the jungle with dramatic wallpaper and lush fabric.
Mix and match for maximum effect.
Play with scale and form to create a riot of colour.
As the party heats up, it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s faux...
Calm things down with neutral shades in subtle tonal shifts.
A touch of verdant green keeps the carnival spirit alive.
