After months of cold and grey, Spring is a chance to get rid of the clutter and get your home summer ready.

There are easy ways of doing so - upping the greenery is always a good bet. Nothing says Spring more than flowers and buds to signify new life. Swapping and upping your accessories is another cost effective and quick way to evoke the freshness of Spring - linen and cotton replace the heavy textiles and colours should reflect the light, bright and airy coming months. Changing the candle scent is another easy win - Bergamot and citrus are perfect summer scents.

Paint is the most dramatic but easiest way to update your home for any season and Graphenstone - the world’s most certified eco paint has launched its Spring Summer 2022 palette consisting of four key colour combinations that embrace a free post-pandemic mindset designed to enhance wellbeing - sustainably.

The edit, by its colour consultant, Betsy Smith is chic and unexpected, “A successful interior should have soul and personality. Environments are becoming increasingly multi sensory as we long for and embrace the restorative properties of nature - natural textures and strong natural colours that reduce stress and create calmness and clarity of thought. The Graphenstone Spring Summer palette is designed to work with and enhance the beauty and honesty of natural materials, particularly sustainable woods, marble, cork, linen, wool, leather, rattan and cane. We accentuate these elements with colour, carefully considering scale and paint finish in response to spaces’ light and architectural qualities.”
