    Keep the lighting soft and natural to differentiate from our other brands. Avoid hard shadows and overlay effects.

  • Vibrant Backdrops
    Now Designs Don'ts

    Vibrant Backdrops

    Stay away from bightly coloured, painted backdrops to differentiate from our other brands. Think classic home and kitchen surfaces.

  • Dark & Rustic Backdrops
    Now Designs Don'ts

    Dark & Rustic Backdrops

    Avoid dark, rustic wood and weathered surfaces to differentiate from our other brands. The Now Designs home is more modern with lighter woods and clasic kitchen surfaces.

    Dried Flowers & Cacti

    Keep it fresh! Go for fresh flowers, herbs and produce instead of dried. Avoid succulents, cacti and sculpted plants to differentiate from our other brands.
