Colour Trend – Acorn

Natural colour schemes have increased in popularity over the past few years with more and more people opting for calm and cosy interior spaces all year around. An ACORN colour scheme is set to be favoured choice as we move into spring and this nature inspired hue can be teamed with a wide variety of bold and neutral complimentary colour palettes and interior design trends.

Acorn brown will look wonderful with a soft cream colour partnership for a simple and sophisticated look that is perfect for both modern and traditional homes. You can also team this colour pair with a selection of rich orange, chocolate and mustard tones for a vintage interior look. Partner with some bold, retro geometric wallpaper to draw attention to a main feature wall. If you love an injection of colour in your home interior, then you can pair acorn brown with bold and bright red for a modern interior design that is eye-catching and stylish. Bold pops of yellow also work well with an acorn colour palette and can be used as an accent tone against the rich brown backdrop. Natural inspired wallpapers work well with an acorn colour palette and can feature, trees, leaves and flowers as well as a selection of woodland creatures such as deer, rabbits and squirrels for a more unique and fun finish.

Acorn brown is a staple colour choice in many home trends but works particularly well in bohemian style homes. The rich brown tone can be teamed with crisp white and vintage colour tones and used alongside tribal and ethnic patterned curtains, cushions, throws and bedding to create an eye-catching accent in any room of the home. These colour combinations also work well in mid-century styles of interior design and can be used to upholstery a retro egg chair or a large statement headboard in funky retro patterns. If simplicity and elegance are more to your taste them opt for acorn and botanical coloured cushions and curtains featuring floral and branch style patterns that will create a chic garden inspired interior look in any living room, dining room or bedroom interior.

Classic oak furniture is an obvious choice with which to partner an acorn colour palette. The warm golden tones and textural grain will complement the natural tones of the acorn backdrop and is sure to create a warm and cosy ambiance in any room of the home. Cream painted furniture is another great partner to this natural colour palette and will create a sense of space and light within your home while still providing an inviting space in which to relax. If your feeling retro then opt for some vintage or industrial furniture designs featuring wood and metal accents and team with a selection of vintage lighting, ornaments and vases that are sure to create areas of visual detail within your chosen room.
