As the season turns, the fashion world embraces a new palette. In the wake of London and Paris Fashion Weeks, we’re looking to the 
catwalk for inspiration and to the Clarendon collection for beautiful ways to bring the season’s colours into our homes.

Art makes it wonderfully easy to live with the colours you love. A single piece can change the mood of a familiar room, 
introduce a shade you might never have considered before, or become the starting point for an entirely new look.

Autumn’s deeper shades have an irresistible richness. From wine reds and warm chestnuts to the almost-black intensity of aubergine, these are colours that bring depth and atmosphere into a room. An artwork alive with deep, earthy colour can completely change the feeling of a familiar space, bringing warmth to pale surroundings or adding another layer of richness to a more dramatic interior.

For those who like their colour with a little more confidence, saturated shades make an immediate impact. Cobalt and electric blue bring clarity and energy, while flashes of turquoise and scarlet demand attention. Artwork gives you the freedom to be adventurous with these shades. A vivid painting or brilliantly coloured sculpture can inject energy into a neutral room, pick up a colour already present in your surroundings or simply provide one glorious hit of colour that makes the whole space feel different.

Not every colour needs to shout. Butter yellow, pale pink and peach offer a softer counterpoint to autumn’s deeper tones, bringing warmth, light and an uplifting quality to the spaces around us. These gentler shades can make a room feel instantly more inviting, whether they appear as a subtle wash of colour or take centre stage in the artwork itself. The result feels fresh and contemporary, and wonderfully easy to live with.

Just as the most memorable looks on the runway combine colour with confidence and individuality, the art we choose for our homes says something about us too. You may find a work that sits beautifully within the colours you already love, choose something completely unexpected that changes the mood of a room, or fall for a piece so completely that everything else follows.
