So what is our final verdict?
Tranquil Dawn may feel like a safe colour choice for some, but for us, we love how commercial and usable this colour is. It wont take much to imagine this soft pastel shade as an easy update in our own homes, whether it's used on walls, window treatments or accessories, It's not loud or shouty - Its simple and calming. The four very different palettes prove that it can translate perfectly across all interior styles.
Another reason we love Tranquil Dawn is that we have been huge advocates of 'bringing the outdoors in' when it comes to home decor. The societal shift in the popularity of biophilic design, sustainability and wellness in our lifestyles reinforces that this reconnection with nature is actually becoming more important to us all.
So as we approach a new decade and a period of uncertainty - Tranquil Dawn is the perfect fresh start we all need.
