The ultimate celebration of plant power, Botanical Noir highlights the relationship between nature and architecture. The trend examines how the boundaries of space are ultimately blurred.

The combination of harsh structural geometry and soft organic forms are revealed through the use of light and shadow. On top of that a myriad of deep and mysterious tones, from palm spring green to warm gold metallic, creates a space that is rich and inviting.

Shadowed yet vibrant with bohemian elements.

“Botanical Noir explores the way nature and architecture are

intrinsically linked. This trend explores contrasts: geometric

structures reflect architectural lines whilst the organic forms of the

foliage provide a soft relief. The glimmer of metallic adds a touch

of luxury whilst a hint of pink provides the perfect contrast to the

dark and shadowy greens.”

“This trend merges indoor living with the charm and benefits of

outdoor living. Deep organic green and teal in structured forms

are softened by playful pink and a touch of botanical prints and

succulent foliage.”

“In the era of diminishing plastic we turn back to basics, rediscovering

raw natural materials and the earthy tones they bring with them.

Powdered Clay is a hero of this colour palette and unprocessed

rough surfaces are appreciated for their natural beauty.”

“Tones of clay, terracotta and charcoal make a palette that is purely

natural. Here is a look that champions imperfection and celebrates

the hand made. The look is relaxed, simple, fluid. Colours work in

harmony, mixing and blending into each other.”

Justyna Korczynska - Crown Design Studio

Judy Smith - Crown Colour Consultant

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection; it overlooks the stigma of the imperfect and the incomplete. Unprocessed similarly resists the neat precision of modern life and instead celebrates the natural world, just as it is.

The palette draws colours from the earth, including baked earth terracotta and sun-bleached wheatgrass. Altogether the colours are raw, untreated, layered and yet perfect together as a whole.

Diverse and interesting but, at the same time, completely unified and proportioned.

“This colour collection takes its inspiration from the artists pigments where

layered paint builds on the palette to create deep tonal texture that conjures

up the atmosphere of the old masters. This influence embraces the luxury

of velvet fabrics and reflective metals to layer textures in a way that reflects

the moody atmosphere of the artist’s studio.”

“Inspired by the concept of a master’s studio and lit to mimic a Dutch

master’s still life. Colours are dark, rich and inviting. Walls are painterly,

created to look like ‘mixed’ pigments as the studio becomes the palette.”Neville Knott - Crown Colour Consultant

Kathryn Lloyd - Crown Colour Specialist

Pigment reaches into the roots of colour to inspire a recollective respect for the great old master’s studio. The genesis of colour is reduced to particles and pigments, which is where this trend owes its namesake.

From chocolate suede and granite top grey to metallic rose gold, the palette embraces the luxury of velvet fabrics and reflective metals to create a sumptuous space.

The walls are painterly, with layered light, colours and textures; transforming the walls into the canvas.
