Tutti Frutti Interiors

This summer the interior design world has gone TUTTI FRUTTI crazy with bold and elegant pastel coloured interiors that ooze fun and femininity. This trend is perfect for those who are looking for an injection of colour in an otherwise neutral space as this colour combination works wonderfully in both modern and classic homes.

For a more subtle tutti frutti style then select some softer pastel hues such as pink, peach, duck egg and mint that will create a feminine feel that is bright yet cosy. Opt for simple wallpaper designs such as flowers, spots or stripes that will create a burst of colour on a feature wall or alcove space. Alternatively if you prefer a more modern and funky look then choose some candy or ice-cream print wallpapers or murals that will create an artistic feature that works particularly well in dining rooms and kitchen interiors.

Candy stripe curtains and cushions will look great in soft or bold pastel hues and are sure to create a fun beach hut inspired look that is bright and uplifting. For a more soft and feminine feel, why not select some floral and polka dot fabrics in tutti frutti colour palettes that will create a delicate yet eye-catching shabby chic feel in your chosen room. If you prefer a more bright and modern design, why not add a visual feature to an otherwise minimal room with a selection of funky upholstery in bold fruity tones that can be used to create a zoned area of colour or pattern in any room of the home. If you’re crazy for pattern then opt for fun love heart sweet prints, ice cream cornets or beach hut prints for a bold and fun summer style.

White painted furniture will provide a classic look in your chosen interior space whilst creating an illuminating ambiance that balances the vivid colours and patterns of a tutti frutti room. Classic French designs add to the femininity of the room while more rustic designs are perfect for shabby chic style homes. For a more modern finish choose some white high gloss or mirrored furniture that is sure to create a sense of space and light within the room. Accessorise with pastel coloured floral arrangements, bright coloured ornaments and candles and choose some fun abstract wall art for a striking feature within the room. Alternatively stick to plain white or mirrored accessories that will add a sense of light and freshness that will compliment the bright eye-catching tones of the interior backdrop.
