Welcome to 2023! After the busyness of the holiday season, January is a great place to pause and reflect on the year ahead. This is a time of introspection and focusing on fresh starts. You may be thinking about a new health and wellness routine or planning out your next vacation getaway. It may also be a good time to think about those updates you’ve been putting off around the house. A new paint colour is just the ticket to kick off the year!

Neutrals tones provide a clean slate in any room, providing a background for other whites, neutrals, or accent colours. Tranquil Gray is our feature Colour of the Month for January. Not too warm or cool, it is a delicate taupe-gray that whispers on walls, bringing a sense of balance and harmony to home interiors.

Tranquil Gray has a soothing quality that makes it ideal for bedrooms and can be mixed with white, black, and other tinted neutrals for extra relaxation and a cozy feel.

Tranquil Gray is a calming colour with an essential quality. Its mid-tone value adds a simple sense of elegance.
