Warm meets cool early-spring balance

There’s something about the turn of the seasons that makes us notice our spaces differently. Walls that felt just fine in winter suddenly seem heavy; corners that were once cozy now beg for a touch of light. Spring isn’t just a change outside, it’s an invitation to bring new energy into your home.

Enter two new shades that feel like spring itself: Olive and  Atlantic. One earthy and grounding, the other vibrant and invigorating, together they capture that delicate balance of early spring: the calm of soft mornings and the lively promise of longer days.

Olive is the colour of new leaves just unfurling, of quiet moments spent with a cup of tea by the window. It’s a shade that invites you to slow down, sink into comfort, and feel rooted in your surroundings.

Atlantic on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air. Teal is lively, it carries a sense of movement and optimism, like the thrill of stepping outside after months of grey skies.

Used together, they create a subtle rhythm: calm, vibrant, calm again. Imagine a feature wall in Olive that draws the room in, paired with Atlantic accents that lift and energise. It’s a palette that doesn’t demand attention, but one you notice immediately, your mood shifts without you realising and suddenly the space feels lighter, fresher, more alive.

As designers point out

 "spring isn’t just about brightness — it’s about balance and breathability. Soft greens, gentle blues, and nature-inspired palettes can make interiors feel spacious and refreshed, helping rooms come alive in the same way the garden does outside."

Took from a article on Spring colour ideas to refresh your home this spring from Homes & Gardens.

 

The beauty of cladding in these shades is in the texture as much as the colour. Smooth satin panels catch the light differently across the day, adding depth and quiet drama to a room. Even in the simplest applications on a wall, in a corridor, or framing a ceiling, Olive and Atlantic transform ordinary spaces into interiors that feel considered, warm and full of life.

 

In a world that moves fast, these two shades are a reminder that interiors can be more than walls, they can be moods, moments and small seasonal celebrations, all captured in colour.
