As the days get shorter and the mornings darker, so do our colour palettes. Although dark colours may be an intimidating addition to a space, when used correctly have the power to completely transform the look and feel of a room.
Colour used is Haymes Midnight Blue
The Verge palette is a mix of sultry, midnight greys, contrasted against pops of berry, plum and teal that elevate any space. This blend of cool tone shades works well to highlight architectural features in period homes, as well as adding depth and complexity to contemporary builds.

Although luxe furnishings run the risk of making a space looking overdressed, the use of dark colours adds depth and interest without overstating itself. Dark tones also work well with most existing furnishings, as they work well with pieces that both match and contrast.
Colour used is Haymes Artisan Soft Chalk in Strong Teal
Although it's commonly believed that dark colours make a space look smaller, quite the opposite can be true. Unlike white and bright colours that reflect light, dark colours absorb light and blur the boundaries of a space to the human eye. Dark, deep tones are also effective in adding vertical space to a room, and work well on feature walls in homes with high ceilings.

The Verge palette also features a selection of the Haymes Artisan collection, introducing traditionally luxe textures like metallic Artisan Metal Trace in Rustic Gold, and the velvety finish of Artisan Soft Chalk in Velvet Black.
