Colour Trends

Colour is always an exciting way to awaken a space. Injecting new colour can be done inexpensively through the use of cushions and accent pieces and can keep your space look alive and up to date.

In 2011, grey continues to be a hot neutral. Grey works wonderfully as a neutral because it’s less stark than black or white, but can still provide a great backdrop for bold colours to be their best. Grey can be either warm with overtones of taupe, or it can be cool with the addition of blue, evoking the feeling of steel.

To pair with your fabulous new grey neutral, think about using citrine or popsickle yellow. Or a colour that packs a punch - purple. Purple brings up feelings of luxury and decadence. Purple’s rich colour pairs wonderfully with other vibrant colours, and works well in both cool and warm seasons.

Lastly, blues and turquoise. Blue brings peace and serenity to spaces. If your life is hectic, and you need some tranquillity in your home, try some blue cushions, a rug, and artwork. Navy, cornflower, sea foam, azure, agean…blue comes in so many hues your options really are endless! But it also makes a nice balance to all the vibrancy of the greens and purples.
