Colour Trend – Praline
What better way to celebrate this Easter than with a rich and sumptuous PRALINE colour scheme that will create a soft and cosy ambiance in your home interior. This creamy caramel inspired colour tone will compliment both modern and classic rooms and can be partnered with a wide range of palettes to give a subtle or striking interior finish.
Colour Palettes
For a sophisticated look team praline with deep chocolate, clotted cream and mocha colour tones that will give a warm and refined ambiance in your chosen room. For a more elegant and classic home interior partner praline with cocoa, vintage blue, mustard or peach tones for a splash of colour that is a perfect blend of masculine and feminine style. If you prefer a fresh and contemporary look then select an array of ice cream colour tones such as mint, baby blue, strawberry and lemon and pair with the creamy tones of praline for a bright and illuminating finish that works particularly well in vintage kitchen diners or bedroom interiors.
Cushions
This neutral colour tone works wonderfully on cushions and throws as it provides a cosy texture on any sleeping or seating area. Praline cushions look particularly stylish on a chocolate leather sofa and can be teamed with caramel, butter, beige or metallic gold and bronze for a hint of glamour and elegance. This soft colour also works well in place of white in a monochrome colour scheme with simple stripes or geometric shapes that give a blend of classic and contemporary style. For a pop of colour add blue, peach or mustard cushions in floral or chic French designs or bold red, green or pink for a more striking modern finish.
Upholstery
Neutral upholstery is still as popular as ever as it can be seamlessly placed into a wide range of interior decors and styles. A simple praline linen fabric will look fabulous on a French carved occasional chair or chaise lounge and can be teamed with natural oak or shimmering gold painted frames for a complimentary visual finish. If you prefer a more country style elegance then select a praline and vintage blue floral fabric and upholster some chunky oak dining chairs for a rustic yet feminine design that looks amazing in shabby chic style homes. For a splash of glamour upholster a large padded headboard in praline coloured velvet fabric and add button or stud detailing for a blend of masculine and feminine design features.
Accessories
The rich and neutral base of this colour tone means that it can be complimented with a wide range of home accessories. Cream accessories and natural wood frames, vases and bowls will look wonderful against creamy praline walls and create a light and cosy ambiance that exudes a classic warmth and elegance. For a masculine finish opt for deep chocolate or black accessories that will provide a contrast against the lighter backdrop and creates a focal point when placed on a feature wall, sideboard or bedside table. If you prefer a hint of glamour and opulence then select glistening gold and metallic accessories that look particularly stylish in a living room or bedroom interior.
Furniture
If you wish to accentuate the cosy tones of your praline colour scheme then select simple solid oak furniture in either rustic or contemporary shapes and styles that will create a timeless finish in any room of the home. For a more refined, country cottage style look then select cream painted furniture that will create a light and illuminating finish whilst still maintaining a rich and homely feel. Black painted furniture is great for creating a visual contrast against the neutral praline background and can be teamed with a statement item such as a bed frame, dining table or dresser in metallic gold for a glamorous and palatial interior design.
