Our colour development team

Louise Smith is a senior global colour designer with the Global Aesthetics Center, a team of design experts who predict the colour styles that ultimately influence how we decorate our homes. Louise is instrumental in identifying and developing colour styles for the year ahead, as well as writing the colour styles prediction book, Colour Futures, which brings the styles to life.

Before joining the team, Louise was educated in textile design, and spent over 12 years working for decorative brands in the UK, designing colour collections and directing inspirational photography.
