Colour Trend – Mulberry
There are some colour schemes that work well throughout all the seasons of the year as they can provide a warm and cosy backdrop in the colder months and a bright and fresh ambiance in spring and summer. MULBERRY colour tones are a perfect blend of sumptuous purple and pink hues that create a floral inspired atmosphere and give a sophisticated finish to both modern and classic home interiors. The deep yet vibrant finish of this colour tone transcends the seasons to give a versatile blast of colour that is welcoming and visually striking.
Colour Palettes
For a bright and illuminating finish then partner your mulberry colour tone with crisp white, pale green and okra for a bold garden inspired look that is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer season. If you prefer a more classic and vintage inspired look then combine mulberry, lilac, chalky blue and mauve that looks particularly great alongside floral patterns and prints for period style feel that works well in living room and conservatory areas. A bold contemporary interior style can be achieved by selecting vibrant mulberry, deep black and pewter tones to create a balance of masculine and feminine tones that give a glamorous boutique finish in any living room or bedroom interior.
Cushions
If you wish to soften a dark or minimal interior space then select a scattering of cushions that can be arranged on a bed or seating area for added comfort and visual detail. Mulberry coloured cushions will look fabulous against both light and dark backdrops and can be displayed in a wide variety of prints and patterns depending on your tastes and style. Floral and botanical designs look particularly elegant in this colour selection and can be partnered with complimentary garden tones such as green, yellow and pink for a soft yet colourful finish. Select poppy, rose and peony prints for a balance of modern and classic style. For a more modern and artistic design then select geometric prints such as stripes, chevrons and polka dots in simple mulberry and white that will look fabulous against a sleek leather sofa or plain white bedding set.
Upholstery
Bold coloured upholstery is bang on trend for spring 2015 and is a great way of introducing colour into your current home decor. Mulberry upholstery looks great on a single sofa or occasional chair and can be partnered with light and dark fabrics for a complimentary visual finish. Plain linen and chenille fabrics will give a simple balance of style and comfort while velvet and satin fabrics give a more glamorous and flamboyant finish that looks great on stylish French armchairs and Chaise lounge items. Mulberry coloured floral fabrics will give a feminine and fresh finish that is perfect for creating a garden inspired interior setting. For a bold and contemporary interior look then create a ‘colour pop’ finish in a minimal white dining room with a selection of mulberry coloured stools or Eames style chairs that will give a bright and artistic finish.
Accessories
Coloured accessories in jewelled colour tones are one of the key trends this season and provide a splash of colour in even the most neutral of interior spaces. A mulberry coloured vase filled with a complimentary floral arrangement will look fabulous on a sunny windowsill or mantelpiece and makes a fabulous centrepiece on a crisp white or black painted dining table. This can be further complimented by a selection of mulberry plates, mugs and glasses to create a bright and illuminating dining area with a springtime theme and ambiance. Mulberry photo frames, lamps and ornaments can be displayed alongside white, black and silver accessories for a balance of feminine elegance and glamour.
Furniture
Mulberry colour palettes work extremely well with a vast range of furniture styles and finishes. For a cosy natural garden look then opt for simple oak furniture items that will blend seamlessly with this bright floral tone. Select traditional styles for a classic country feel or more modern designs for a contemporary look and finish. White painted furniture will also compliment this bright and bold colour backdrop and will create a sense of space and light in smaller home interiors. Statement items such as dining tables and dressers will create a fresh focal point that is subtle yet striking. If you wish to create an air of drama and flamboyance in your home then select silver leaf or black painted furniture items that will create a glamorous finish that works particularly well in bedroom and dining room areas.
