Colour Lookbook: The understated Calm Curator palette

The phrase “less is more” is often used to describe minimalist style, and though we’re always drawn to colour, spending time in a quiet, but beautifully considered room brings its own kind of joy. Our “paint it your way” campaign shines a spotlight on all kinds of decorating approaches, including that of the Careful Curator – keep scrolling to explore how to create a perfectly tranquil space.

How to create a cocooning two-tone bedroom

Call it the “blank canvas” effect: when you keep a room’s décor simple, the most subtle design details feel doubly impactful. Even though the room above features only two neutral colours from Simply Refresh’s One Coat range, the design instantly catches the eye.

We love the way that Egyptian Cotton coats the wall behind the bed, but is also neatly applied on part of the ceiling and the adjacent walls, framing the bed and making an impression that doesn’t feel minimal at all.

More Calm Curator decorating ideas

White and beige tones are the go-to shades for minimalist decorators, and there’s plenty of inspiration in the Simply Refresh range, from the grey tones of Rock Salt to the honey undercurrent in Natural Calico. For calm and collected décor with a hint of romance, Calm Curators can turn to pale pastel shades such as Tranquil Dawn or the chalky pale blue Mineral Mist – apply these colours across every wall to create a totally immersive look.
