Why These Colours Feel Like Summer
Summer colour palettes often feel soft, airy and refreshing. Instead of heavy or overly saturated tones, they use colour in a lighter, more relaxed way.
The soft blues in these wallpapers bring a cool and calming feel, while the yellow adds warmth and optimism. Pink softens the palette further, green adds freshness, and white keeps everything feeling clean and open.
In addition these colours are not just for Summer, but they also suit someone who has a Summer Colour Type.
The combination creates a balanced colour palette that feels nostalgic and modern at the same time inspired by flowing summer fabric, vintage stripes from my youth growing up in the 70's and relaxed holiday styling.
