How to add style to your home with juicy sunshine hues
We’re loving lemon, lime and tangy tangerine for the feel-good factor, says Sam Wylie-Harris.
If you’re tempted by the idea of saturating your space with mouthwatering shades as summer heats up, now’s the time to mix and match your favourite flavours.
Especially with bright seasonal recipes, fruit punches and spritzes putting us in a sunny mood – with holiday hues paying homage to lemon groves and a sunset glow.
