This design wasn’t a colour palette I would usually go for but that’s what made it exciting. My client loved the elegance of champagne tones, while her husband was drawn to the warmth and vibrance of classic red.

During our styling consultation, we discussed how to balance both preferences without compromising the overall look. That’s when I had the idea: we’d let champagne set the tone soft, luxe, and refined and then weave in touches of red to bring in festive warmth and a lively contrast.

The result? A beautifully unexpected combination. It kept the elegance of a neutral palette, but the pops of red gave the entire space a joyful, celebratory energy. It’s proof that when clients trust the process, even an unlikely pairing can turn into something truly magical.
