RESTORE
Movies are delivered to the screen at a touch of a button.  For some, the future is about a conscious decision to stay in, order in, cocoon in.  When the world begins to take its ever increasing hold, home becomes a sanctuary, and not just a place to sleep.  People are now choosing to spend time at home, and holiday at home.  Time at home also means time to tinker and create the perfect environment.  This trend could well be financially driven, as the cost of living continues to rise.

FOLK
Looking back to the things our grandparents taught us, and teaching our children the very same things.  Be it baking cheese scones, knitting and crocheting or making your own gift cards, these colours are using technology in the best possible way to evoke the natural dyes and pigments from the past.  There is a resurgence in dinnerware and fabric patterns from the archives being reprinted, books that have been out of print for decades being published.

ESCAPE
Creating a home that feels like a spa.  A place to be pampered, and to pamper those we love.  The mood is calm, spohisticated with attention to the finest detail.  Even the lighting is quiet.  Furniture is highlighted with the use of plush rugs and carpets, and sleek oversized tiles and polished stone floors. 
Compatible colours - Aphrodities White, Persia, Turtle, Buena Vista, Acacia, Antique, Eclipse, Sea Change, Storm, Double Wisdom, Transfixed, Moody Hue

A BRIGHTER WORLD
Worrying about what our children will inherit and how we can help make the world a better place.  Everyday conscious choices both big and small - bamboo instead of plastic, clean, green products to use in our homes that won't harm our planet.  Choosing products that will last a life time, carbon footprints, solar power and windpower are no longer "greenies" ideals, but common sense daily practices.  For some that future is already here.
