Some colours instantly change the feeling of a room. They soften the light, add warmth or create a sense of calm without asking for attention. The Summer Collection 2026 is built around exactly those tones, a palette designed to flow naturally through the home.
From warm earthy shades to soft coastal accents, these colours are made to combine effortlessly. Inspired by the layered and atmospheric styling approach visible throughout previous UNC summer stories.
A soft glow with Blush
Blush brings warmth in the gentlest way. The tone feels soft, comforting and quietly elegant, perfect for intimate corners or layered shelf styling.
Vase Sipho in blush works beautifully with off whites, textured ceramics and natural linen. It adds colour without overpowering the space and creates an almost candlelit softness throughout the room.
Natural calm through Beechnut
Beechnut introduces balance. Fresh yet grounded, the colour brings a natural calmness into interiors and works especially well with wood, ceramics and tactile fabrics.
Vase Nika in beechnut feels understated and warm at the same time. Styled on a console or dining table, it creates a quiet focal point that feels timeless rather than seasonal.
Warm simplicity in Starfish
Starfish is one of those shades that instantly makes a room feel lighter. Warm, sandy and soft, it creates the perfect foundation for relaxed summer styling.
Vase Langa in starfish blends effortlessly into neutral interiors while still adding depth and texture. The tone feels timeless and easy to combine with almost any material palette.
Freshness through Sea Foam
Sea Foam introduces a fresher rhythm into the collection. Airy and uplifting, the shade reflects the softness of coastal mornings and open summer spaces.
Lamp Shai in sea foam adds lightness both through colour and silhouette. It brightens everyday corners while keeping the atmosphere calm and balanced.
A balanced softness with Seamist
Seamist feels calm in the most natural way. The colour sits somewhere between muted green and soft grey, making it incredibly versatile throughout the home.
Vase Kudos in seamist blends effortlessly into different spaces, from open shelving to bedside styling. It adds softness without becoming too decorative.
UNC stylist note
“The most beautiful colour palettes never feel forced. Let tones softly blend into each other and allow natural materials to create the contrast.”
