THE COLOUR STORY OF YOUR HOME

Does your home have its own red thread, or, as it’s known in Scandinavia, ‘röda tråden’ – a common or creative connection that holds something together? If you delve deeper into the concept, you’ll discover Theseus in Greek mythology, who escapes from a labyrinth by following a red thread; or the invisible red string of fate in Eastern mythology, which the gods tied around the ankles of people destined to meet. It seems that a red thread, if followed, is a good guide.

We’re certainly not suggesting you unravel balls of red string around your home as if). ‘The red thread is a natural part of a cohesive, harmonious scheme where you’ll have a particular colour or colours that organically pop up in different parts of the house.’
