Colour Trend – Damson
Purple is a great colour choice for modern and classic home interiors as it compliments a wide range of decor and styles to create a sophisticated finish within your chosen space. DAMSON is tipped to be one of the most popular colour schemes of 2016 due to its unique balance of bold and dusky tones that look great on a feature wall or as an accent colour on your soft furnishings and accessories.
Colour Palette
For a fresh and bright interior design select damson, lilac, lemon and lime colour tones that come together to create a Moroccan inspired, summer time look that will work particularly well in living room and conservatory interiors. If you prefer a more sleek and masculine look them team damson with monochrome and grey hues that will create a rich and luxurious designer feel in your chosen space. Zesty and fruity tones such as damson, blueberry, raspberry and lemon will look great combined with crisp white or sherbet colour tones for a perfect balance of vibrancy and tranquillity.
Cushions
Damson colours work incredibly well with floral prints and patterns to give textural and tonal variation on a plain sofa or bed set. Opt for classic rose and hydrangea prints with soft greens and lemon for a traditional English garden look or select more bold and abstract leaf, daisy and poppy print cushions in damson, white, aubergine and lime for a stylish contemporary finish. Plain chenille or velvet cushions look great in a damson colour scheme and can be paired with historic baroque or fleur-de-lys prints for a more period style design. A crisp, clean and minimal appearance can be achieved with a scattering of simple white and damson striped cushions that give a chic and elegant finish in both modern and classic homes.
Upholstery
To create a focalised and zoned area of colour in your home then a simple change of upholstery could be the perfect choice. Upholster an ornate and curvaceous white, silver or black framed chair with a plain damson, satin fabric or a bold floral print material that will work wonderfully as a single reading chair or combined with a dressing table for a hint of opulent luxury. Oak stools or dining chairs can be given a hint of colour with a simple damson coloured cotton fabric in a plain, striped or textural linen pattern for a cosy country cottage appearance.
Accessories
For a sumptuous Moroccan influence in your chosen home interior display a selection of filigree effect, freestanding or hanging lanterns with damson coloured glass or mosaic accents that will give and exotic feel to even the plainest of interior spaces. A classic oak dining table can be decorated with a selection of damson and white crockery in bold floral patterns for a botanical finish or a simple stripe or plaid design for a more rustic country influence. If you have concentrated your damson colour scheme to your walls and furnishings then use a selection of crisp white or cut glass accessories for a light and illuminating look or sleek black or silver for a hint of masculine glamour.
Furniture
White painted furniture will provide a sense of space and light in a damson coloured interior backdrop and will create a chateau style feel in any living room, dining room or bedroom. Grey painted furniture will also look great with a damson colour palette and provides a country style charm that is perfect for vintage or shabby chic style interiors. A classic look and finish can be achieved with a selection of modern oak furniture that gives a cosy and welcoming finish in a wide range of interior settings. If you prefer furniture that creates a visual impact in your chosen room then opt for sleek black or shimmering silver designs and select statement items that will provide a centrepiece to your home.
