Inspired by the rolling tides of our hometown, Southend on Sea, Sea Mist is a delicate tone that sits between misty grey and soft teal. Capturing the tranquillity of the sea meeting the sky, this muted blue evokes a sense of stillness we all desperately need to see us through to the springtime. But why opt for a cool colour like Sea Mist over the traditional winter shades we’re so used to?
In contrast to the enveloping warmth of deep, heavy tones, Sea Mist introduces lightness and balance. While earthy tones do make us feel like we’re protected from that bitter, winter chill, they often make us feel sluggish by closing off a space right when we should be at our most productive. Sea Mist has an ethereal quality, reflecting light and creating an airy sense of space even on the gloomiest of winter days. It’s just what you need to get motivated – what better way to tackle those New Years’ resolutions when the time comes? This shade is the perfect choice for north-facing spaces that crave brightening up or for those looking to add a splash of colour to their interior.
Style this understated colour with thick woollen throws and brass accessories for added warmth, oceanic blues for depth and linen curtains to keep things light and sophisticated. And why not try pairing with natural materials, like ash or oak, to maintain that crisp, coastal aesthetic?
