Marsala Magic for your home

Colour is a magical tool to give new life to a room and this year, everyone is giving their home a touch of Marsala.

Pantone’s 2015 Colour of the Year is one that is warm, earthy and elegant and is an instant eye catcher in any home, be it as a feature wall, an exotic rug, vase or scatter cushion.

“It really is a very beautiful colour, truly versatile and we are finding that it appeals to a wide spectrum of clients, whether used matte or gloss, and whether paired with muted taupe or aerated blues,” said Schane Anderson of Olala Interiors at the Lifestyle Centre.

The colour that resembles a robust red wine pairs well with neutrals and can be combined with greys, creams, whites and all shades of beige, adding a warm, sophisticated, natural earthiness reminiscent of an African sunset.

So, whether you are bold and daring or more calm and neutral, add a bit of spice to your home with Marsala.
