Colour Trend – Malachite
As Halloween draws closer, it’s time to embrace some witchy colour tones and darker hues to create a glamorous and distinctive interior design. This season designers have gone crazy for luxurious MALACHITE interior colour schemes that create a sophisticated finish in any room or the home. This rich green colour tone will look fabulous in both modern and classic homes and gives a regal ambiance that is chic and stylish.
Colour Palette
Malachite is a versatile colour choice as it can be partnered with both bold and neutral tones depending on the tastes and style of your home. For a fresh and feminine look then partner malachite with crisp white, mint, and teal for a classic and elegant design or include some pops of blue, yellow and pink for a botanical and garden inspired finish. If you prefer a more refined and period style design then mix your chosen malachite tone with deep fern green, black and charcoal for boutique style finish that can be made even more glamorous with a hint of metallic gold and bronze.
Cushions
If you’re not ready for a complete overhaul of your interior decor then cushions provide a great way of introducing a new accent colour into your home without the need to break the bank. Malachite coloured cushions look particularly striking on a simple black sofa or occasional chair and provide a sense of regal elegance in a classic living room interior. Malachite mineral patterns create visual texture and colour and look amazing partnered with a selection of black satin and metallic gold cushions for a luxurious and glamorous look. For a more refined style then opt for crisp white and malachite cushions in geometric prints and designs that will give a more contemporary retro look to a plain white sofa or bedding set.
Upholstery
Green is becoming one of the most popular colour choices for breathing a new lease of life into old and tired upholstery. Malachite green is a rich period style colour tone that will fabulous across a range of soft furnishings and furniture items. French style carved seats and chaise lounges will look amazing with some malachite coloured velvet fabric and can be paired with crisp white frames for a sense of light and space or rich black or gold painted frames for a splash of renaissance opulence and style. If you prefer a more modern or vintage style interior then select striking egg chairs, armchairs or stools and decorate with bold malachite and crisp white fabrics in geometric 1960s prints.
Accessories
Malachite has long been used for decorative purposes in ornaments and artwork due to its unique patterns and rich and inviting colour. Classic style vases, bowls and ornaments will look fabulous scattered along a black painted mantelpiece or statement sideboard to give a zoned area of colour and pattern. If you have concentrated your malachite colour scheme to your walls and furnishings then a simple selection of black or gold accessories will give a refined and opulent finish to your chosen room and look particularly striking in a living room, dining room or bedroom interior.
Furniture
Painted furniture is as popular as ever and with such a fabulous array of colours to choose from it is a simple way to update a tired furniture item with relatively little effort or cost. Select a statement item such as a table or dresser and envelop in a rich malachite chalk paint for a distinctive and personalised furniture item. If you have used malachite colours on your walls or flooring then white painted furniture also works well as it provides a sense of space and light within your home. Black and gold painted furniture will provide an air of regal sophistication in your chosen room but should be used sparingly as to not overpower your interior space.
