Home Décor Predictions: Colour Trends for Spring 2018
Guest post
If you ‘re looking to captivate the feeling of spring in your home, this post is for you.
Not only does spring bring sunny days and warm weather, but it also fills our homes with a sense of freshness and positivity. Spring-inspired décor truly exudes openness and airiness, featuring light, subtle design and simple elegance. This spring, we’ll be seeing diverse, but equally enchanting colour palettes with refreshing, enticing and dramatic hues. By welcoming them into your home, you’ll be able to elevate your home décor and capture the spirit of spring.
Toned-down orange for versatility
This subtle shade of orange gives it a rather versatile nature, brining plenty of design opportunities. Toned-down orange will energise a space without creating an overbearing look. It works perfectly with taupe, ivory and brown, giving a space an earthy flair. On the other hand, it can also be used to create a more modern appeal in combination with different shades of grey and white.
In your home: You can use toned-down orange with other earthy hues to create a bohemian-inspired look. Accent details, such as throw pillows, covers and area rugs will add a stylish pop of colour. For a modern look, you should keep it balanced and introduce just a few subtle, yet conspicuous details in this refreshing shade.
Ice-cream colours for a playful effect
Gelato-inspired shades, such as guava, a warm shade of pink, peach, cotton candy, mint and others, are expected to be a major trend for this spring. They are a perfect choice for spring-inspired décor as they portray the upcoming positivity. The combination of these colours will create an atmosphere of playfulness and truly give character to a space.
In your home: You can create your own palette based on your favourite ice-cream flavours. There’s no reason to stick to a single hue – by combining several muted gelato colours, you will truly create an inspiring look for your home this spring.
Turquoise for a stunning statement
Turquoise is a perfect colour for making a design statement since it’s vibrant yet eye-pleasing. Even a single accent detail in turquoise will brighten up a space and work as an enchanting focal point. Whether it’s an accent wall or a range of turquoise details, this shade will be the statement colour for spring in 2018.
In your home: Since turquoise is all about making a statement, why not try something bold and use it for your ceiling? Using ceiling as a statement is another popular trend for 2018 that will create an authentic look in your home. However, make sure to use safe and sturdy scaffolding so that you ensure your safety. The same goes for any other high areas in your home – safety comes first.
Pantone’s Intensity palette for a dramatic look
For a slightly more dramatic, rich appeal, Pantone’s Intensity colour palette is just the perfect choice. Combining warm brown with a red undertone, energetic orange shade of red with a touch of gold for opulence and black for drama, this palette represents an eclectic mix that truly creates an intense, but sophisticated appeal.
In your home: If you’re a design enthusiast who doesn’t mind a little drama, you should welcome Pantone’s Intensity to your home. For a truly mesmerising effect, you can paint a single wall in matte black. It will work as a perfect backdrop to an orangey red armchair. Paired up with occasional gold details, such as accent lamps and throw pillows, such a mesmerising combination will truly create a powerful yet glamorous visual appeal.
Pastels for minimalist beauty
A subtle palette of pastels has replaced the traditional minimalist black-and-white combination. In spring 2018, pastel hues, such as sandy pink and mint green, in combination with white will truly create an atmosphere of sincerity and serenity in a home. Soft neutrals provide a stunning backdrop to pastel shades that set the tone of subtle elegance.
In your home: If you want to create an open, airy and peaceful look in your home for spring, this palette is a perfect choice. A mint green or sandy pink accent wall will stand perfectly against a white backdrop and dark hardwood floors. This colour scheme will help you create a minimalist modern look that exudes elegance and simplicity.
Spring is bringing a range of inspiring colour palettes that will truly transform your home. While some will create an open, airy atmosphere, others will help you express yourself in a truly authentic way.
