Colour Trend – Etruscan

This summer is all about creating a warm and sunshiny feel in your interior spaces and we have found the perfect choice for both modern and classic homes. Benjamin Moore’s ETRUSCAN is a gorgeous and rich golden brown hue that can be teamed with rustic and refined home decor to create a sophisticated Mediterranean vibe within your home.

Colour Palette
Etruscan looks great teamed with simple crisp white for a fresh and uplifting ambience that is perfect for smaller rooms of the home. For a more cosy and rustic Italian style interior, partner Etruscan with rich cream, terracotta and mocha hues to create a sophisticated and stylish finish. If you wish to add a pop of colour to your home then team Etruscan with pale blue, grey and sea green for a coastal-inspired design that is perfect for the upcoming summer season.

Cushions

Why not update a sleeping or seating area with a selection of Etruscan, cream and gold cushions in historic Italian prints that will create an air of opulence and luxury within your home. For a more modern and classic look then select some geometric print cushions in Etruscan, white and black that are sure to create a focal point on a sofa, bed or armchair. If you have a coastal-inspired interior then why not add a selection of cool blue, Etruscan and white striped cushions and team with nautical-inspired prints and patterns for a fun and fashionable finish.

Upholstery
Etruscan is the perfect choice for updating your upholstery as it is a perfect balance of neutrality and warmth. Why not give a French carved armchair a new lease of life with Etruscan coloured cotton, linen or satin fabric that will look fabulous teamed with a solid oak or golf leaf framework.  For a more modern or retro style finish then upholstery a simple sofa and footstool with a rich Etruscan coloured leather fabric that will create a sophisticated finish in your living room interior.

Accessories
Gold accessories and ornaments will look fabulous against the bronzed tones of an Etruscan painted wall and will create an air of glamour in any room of the home. For a more light and uplifting finish then why not select some simple white ceramics and pottery that will create a fresh and summery feel to the room. Black accessories will create a visual contrast against the earthen coloured walls and give a masculine twist to any interior space. For a more natural Mediterranean inspired look then opt for wooden ornaments and period style urns and add some potted plants to large planters positioned in the corner of your chosen room.

Furniture
Mahogany and natural oak furniture are a perfect partner to this rich earthen colour scheme and will create warmth and cosiness within the room. For a more natural look then why not opt for some rattan style furniture items to give a summery feel that works particularly well in garden view living rooms or conservatories. If you prefer a more light and elegant design then choose some light white painted furniture items that will create a fresh and feminine feel to your chosen room.
