Colour Trend – Chartreuse
Rich yellow based colour schemes are a popular trend this autumn/winter season as they provide a bold and colourful finish that is also rich and cosy. CHARTREUSE is a gorgeous hue that sits somewhere between yellow and green and looks fabulous in both modern and classic home interiors. The sumptuous tones will look great on a feature wall or as an accent tone in a neutral interior space.
Colour Palette
For a light and bright home interior, select botanical garden inspired tones that will create a sense of space and light within the home. Opt for chartreuse, fern green and lemon that give a zesty ambiance that works particularly well in conservatory and living room interiors. For a more refined and classic look, select muted and sophisticated tones such as chartreuse, olive green and lavender that create a chateau style feel with a subtle pop of colour. If you wish to incorporate a more contemporary feel in your home then select chartreuse, black and white, grey and navy that will give a more masculine ambiance within your chosen room.
Cushions
Coloured cushions are a cheap and effective way of introducing a new accent colour to your current home interior. A selection of chartreuse, grey, black and white cushions will look great on a simple leather sofa and can be partnered with geometric prints for a sleek and modern finish. For a more feminine feel then select linen and cotton chartreuse cushions with lilac, green and lemon floral designs to create a bold and colourful focal point. If you love a retro inspired home interior then select classic 60s and 70s patterns and prints in chartreuse, mustard, brown and cream for a cosy and detailed vintage finish.
Upholstery
If you want to make a quick and simple update to your interior space then a bold pop of colour on your upholstery will create a focal point in any room of the home. Rich chartreuse velvet upholstery will make a statement on an ornate occasional chair or chaise lounge and looks fabulous teamed with a deep black painted or gold leaf frame for added glamour and luxury. For a chic and elegant dining set, upholster your oak chairs with a classic floral fabric in chartreuse, and fern green that will give a botanical beauty to your dining room interior. If you wish to create a statement in your bedroom space then upholster a large headboard in a chartreuse fabric and finish with classic chesterfield style button detailing for classic period flair.
Accessories
A chartreuse painted interior decor can be complimented by a wide range of coloured home accessories. For a sleek and refined look then place a selection of black candlesticks, frames and ornaments along a mantelpiece or sideboard to create a contrasting visual detail against a chartreuse painted feature wall. A rich and opulent finish can be created using a selection of glittering gold accessories such as photo frames and vases that will create a glistening and illuminating ambiance in your chosen room. If you wish to create a classic winter inspired table setting for your new year’s parties then why not combine chartreuse, black and gold on your table cloth, crockery and glasses for a chic and luxurious statement.
Furniture
For a cosy and traditional home interior then partner your chartreuse colour scheme with a selection on solid oak furniture that will give a warm and inviting ambiance to your room. A more cottage inspired design can be achieved with a collection of cream painted furniture that will compliment the rich coloured decor and create a sense of space in more compact home interiors. For a splash of masculine style then select statement black painted furniture items that will create a contrast against the colourful backdrop or for a more opulent and dazzling design opt for shimmering gold leaf furniture items that will create an air of palatial glamour that works particularly well in bedroom or dining room interiors.
