Colour Trend – Fawn

Neutral and Earthen colour palettes are set to be the biggest trend for 2018 and with such a wide variety of hues to choose from it can be a difficult choice. Neutral tones can range from light and bright off white and cream to rich mocha, taupe and toffee tones. FAWN is an elegant beige/caramel hue that will look fabulous in a wide variety of modern and traditional home interiors. The soft and rich finish will create a sense of space and light in smaller homes but also maintains a cosy and welcoming ambiance that is perfect for everyday living.

For a chic and classic interior finish then why not partner fawn with soft cream, chocolate and mocha hues for a Parisian inspired interior style that is simple yet sophisticated. If you prefer a more cosy country style then display fawn alongside rich red, forest green or deep purple and include some traditional tartan or plaid wallpaper for real visual impact on a large feature wall or chimney breast area. For a lighter and more feminine interior feel then add fawn to a mix and match of pastel hues such as mint, peach, baby pink and duck egg and include some classic floral wallpaper for a cottage or shabby chic style design.

When selecting soft furnishings for your chosen room, fawn makes a great colour choice because it works so well with a wide variety of colours and patterns. For a classic chateau style interior design then upholster some French style chairs, sofas or stools in a soft fawn linen fabric that is elegant yet natural. A more opulent finish can be achieved with some fawn coloured satin fabric that will look great with gold leaf framework. For a hint of colour then add some fawn and red cushions to a plain sofa area or for a cosy and rich finish or add some gold metallic cushions and bolsters with beads or tassel detailing that will compliment the soft fawn colour scheme and create a hint of glamour that works particularly well in bedroom interiors.

Oak furniture will look great against this cosy and neutral colour palette and will create an inviting space in which to relax. Opt for chunky designs for a rustic interior style or lighter and more contemporary designs for modern homes. Cream painted furniture will also look great against this neutral colour choice and is great for creating a sense of light and openness in smaller rooms of the home. Rustic style designs will create a cottage style feel that is feminine and cosy. If you prefer a more vintage interior style then you could select some industrial style furniture items that feature smoked oak and metal accents that create a rugged, loft style ambiance in any living room, dining room or bedroom.
