Colour Trend – Rhubarb

Fruity colour schemes are all the rage this autumn/winter so why not add a mouth watering RHUBARB colour tone to your chosen interior space. This pink/red tone is perfect for adding some warmth and cheerfulness to your home during the dreary winter months and is a versatile choice for a wide variety of homes. It can be used to create a rich eastern inspired interior design, a vibrant modern look or can be added as an accent tone to create visual detail in minimal homes.

For a sleek and crisp interior finish, why not add rhubarb to a simple white backdrop or a monochrome colour palette for a sophisticated minimal appearance. If you prefer a cosier, tonal look then partner rhubarb with a variety of grey hues from dove grey to charcoal and pewter for a muted and chic designer finish. For a pop of summery colour then why not marry rhubarb with other juicy tones such as raspberry, peach, orange and lemon that are sure to create a focal point within your chosen room. Floral print wallpaper will look wonderful in soft botanical hues featuring mint, rhubarb and lilac or for a more statement finish then select a black and rhubarb baroque print design for a perfect blend of traditional and modern interior design.

Rhubarb makes a wonderful accent tone to use on your interior soft furnishings as it will create a pop of colour in even the plainest of home interiors. For a simple yet eye-catching finish, opt for plain white and rhubarb striped curtains that will look great against a neutral painted wall or for a more bold yet classic look select bright floral print curtains that can be co-ordinated with floral wallpaper and botanical organic cushions for a chic and feminine feel. If you prefer a more exotic, eastern inspired design in your chosen room you can stake a selection of Moroccan style cushions in juicy jewelled tones such as rhubarb, emerald, turquoise and orange and layer them in varying styles and sizes across a seating or sleeping area. Opt for cushions featuring tassels, beads and sequins with metallic gold and silver for added visual detail.

White painted furniture makes a perfect partner to a bold and juicy rhubarb colour scheme and is the perfect way to create a light and open ambiance in smaller interior spaces. Opt for classic rustic style items for a country cottage style or chic and elegant French carved designs for a more refined, period style look. If you prefer a more sleek and minimal design then some contemporary white or black high gloss furniture will create a designer feel against the pop of juicy colour. Classic oak furniture will accentuate the warming tones of the rhubarb colour scheme and works equally well in both modern and traditional home interiors to create a timeless and welcoming ambiance.
