From soothing sage to mint condition accents, kitchen garden herb colours help create serene spaces at home.
The colours of herbs are influencing interiors right now. From basil to bay leaf, there’s a shade in furnishings and accessories to suit your home.
Instant ambiance
Standing 13 cm tall, these glass candle sticks from Carolyn Donnelly feature a beautifully detailed flower design with ribbed petals sitting atop a sculpted pedestal base.
Perfect for adding a designer flex to an evening watching the box. With a soft rosemary green base, the Carolyn Donnelly candle holders cost €10 each at Dunnes Stores.
Counterculture
The Aura is a barstool with a generously cushioned seat pad and supportive backrest that delivers a clean, modern silhouette.
The soft upholstery contrasts beautifully with its slim, powder-coated steel frame.
Built to be both sturdy yet lightweight, it comes in the bay leaf shade pictured, or a cornflower blue option, and costs €199 from Pieces.ie.
Ace the base
A table lamp can pack a punch of colour. The flat base of this smaller Wrappling design in antique brass will draw the eye no matter where you put it.
Simple, art-deco stepped rings cross the stranded column for timeless elegance and appeal.
Pictured with a 30cm straight empire shade in mint green shibori linen, it costs about €202, excluding delivery and taxes, from UK-based Pooky.
Princess of print
Scottish designer Donna Wilson’s new cushions are exceedingly covetable.
Stocked exclusively at London-based Heals, her Totem pairs playful geometric shapes with a vibrant mix of colour.
Knitted from soft lambswool and hand-finished by the team at Knit Shop in Dundee, Scotland, it brings warmth, comfort and character to a sofa, chair or bed.
The 50 cm squares cost about €178, excluding delivery.
Play plain with pattern.
Farrow & Ball’s latest launch, The Heritage Papers, comprises three designs, each available in a range of colours that feel right for now.
Taken from source material with a real-world history, Gothic, for example, is an architectural design that was discovered in the stairway of a grand old building in Worcestershire.
Inspired by the shadows in cathedrals, this faithful reproduction is brilliantly atmospheric. Perfect for spooky season, it costs €300 per roll.
Sweet treat
This glass-topped cake stand mixes a basil green base with a blue ribbon-coloured cake slice and plate, covered with a protective dome that also adds a theatrical flourish.
It costs just €10 from Flying Tiger and will keep confections and baked goods from drying out – for as long as they last.
Between the sheets
Make like a Tinseltown star of the silver screen and curl up on silk sheets in the most flattering of soft eau de nil green, a watery shade of sage green.
Crafted from the finest long-strand mulberry silk, the bedding comes in flat sheet, € 497; fitted sheet, €441; and duvet cover, €797 options.
Prices listed are for a king-size bed. The range comes in eight shades, including white, ivory, teal, vintage pink, blush, silver grey, and charcoal.
Pair with matching sage silk pillowcases, about €65 each, and a fitted sheet for a cohesive finish from UK-based Ginger Lily.
