Colour Trend – Cinnamon
Nothing gets me in the mood for Christmas more than the rich spicy smell of gingerbread and mulled wine that fills the air with the sumptuous scent of festive cheer. This season you can create a stylish spiced interior feel with a CINNAMON interior colour scheme that is warm and cosy and perfect for the upcoming festive season.
This rich tone will add a splash of deep colour whilst maintaining a sense of earthen neutrality that is versatile and elegant and can be used in both contemporary and classic home interiors for a snug and sophisticated ambiance.
Colour palette
Cinnamon colour tones look particularly elegant combined with neutral creams, beige and mocha hues as they provide a simple yet warming colour palette that looks particularly stylish in living room and dining room areas. For a deeper and bolder colour choice then partner your chosen cinnamon palette with deep chocolate and nougat colours or for a more period style finish add bold red and deep royal blue that will create a splash of contrasting yet complimentary colour.
Cushions
If you want to create a change of colour within your chosen interior with minimum effort and expense then a selection of coloured or patterned cushions can completely transform the overall look of your home interior. Cinnamon coloured cushion look perfect against dark brown, black or neutral cream upholstery and will create a subtle hint of colour that is cosy and snug. Natural cottons and suede look particularly stylish in a tribal print or a sophisticated baroque style pattern while rich satin and silk can be used to create a Moroccan style seating area that embraces a range of spicy tones with flamboyant beading and embellishment.
Upholstery
Cinnamon fabrics are the perfect alternative to traditional chocolate brown leathers and suede and also provide a cosier palette than neutral ivory or cream materials. This colour looks amazing as a leather colour tone which perfectly complements the chesterfield style of sofa and also looks refined and stylish as a covering for a foot stool or pouffe. For a stately, country cottage feel opt for a cinnamon coloured, upholstered head board that can be partnered with an oak or mahogany bed frame for a blend of masculinity and feminine softness.
Accessories
If you are looking to create a subtle change of colour in your interior space then cinnamon coloured accessories will create a warm and welcoming ambiance that sits perfectly in a bold or neutral interior backdrop. Ceramic bowls in glazed cinnamon colour tones and terracotta urns will perfectly compliment this chosen colour scheme while natural, wooden ornaments and sculptures will also accentuate the natural, rustic feel of the decor. Look for abstract wooden carvings or wall plaques that will create a sense of countrified beauty whilst retaining a stylish and elegant finish. With the upcoming Christmas celebrations just around the corner you can add some cinnamon wrapped candles, bunches of cinnamon wrapped in ribbons or even adorn your tree with an array of cinnamon decorations that will give a gorgeous smell as well as a traditional Christmas feel.
Furniture
The natural tone of a cinnamon interior colour scheme means that there is a varied choice when it comes to selecting furniture items that will compliment your overall look. Golden oak furniture will create a light and bright interior finish that is both warm and cosy and will not overpower the room or the choice of decor. Deep mahogany and walnut will also look rich and elegant against a cinnamon painted interior and will add a more stately and luxurious feel to your home interior. For a more country cottage inspired theme; a selection of sumptuous cream painted furniture will create a bright yet cosy ambiance that has a refined rural charm.
