How to decorate with autumnal cinnamon and cream
Inspired by the interior of bakery Signor Lievito by Hannes Peer, these pieces create the perfect transitional scheme
The heat of summer days can be felt in the parched, baked-clay colours of this transitional decorating palette, which also nods to the approach of hygge season with a sprinkling of cinnamon and luxurious, comforting cream. It’s a combination of hues inspired by designer Hannes Peer’s design for Signor Lievito, a Milan-based boulangerie owned by former model Natalija Nikitina, wife of fashion brand No 21’s founder Alessandro Dell’Acqua, which is notable for its perfectly proved colour scheme.
