5 Best Candy Cane Accessories

This season has seen a rise in popularity in candy coloured interiors that create a soft yet colourful backdrop within your home. I personally love this interior trend as it recalls memories of walking into a sweet shop as a young child and seeing all the fabulous and yummy colours and glistening glass jars that would mesmerise both adults and children alike.

We have selected the 5 best candy cane accessories that will bring mouthwatering pastel shades and ice cream tones into your home interior and create a sumptuous finish to both plain and colourful home decors.

Cushions

My name is Alicia and I am a cushion addict. For me there is no better way to add colour and pattern to your home in a subtle yet eye-catching manner. To create a perfect candy cane arrangement then choose complimentary pastel tones such as peach, pale blue, pink and lemon and create a scattering of alternating colours. For a further nod to the traditional sweet shop interior then why not add some classic candy cane striped patterns that will provide a visual contrast against the plain coloured cushions as well as you chosen sofa or bed fabric.

Rugs

If your not quite brave enough to add colour to your walls then a carefully positioned rug can add the perfect splash of colour that will tie together your fabrics and accessories. Whilst a pastel rug in any shape or size will provide you with a fabulous candy colour palette I think a stylish circular rug or a circle patterned rug (left) creates a fun visual centrepiece that reminds me of bon bons or flying saucer sweets. Choose colours that match your chosen cushions, curtains or wall art for a universal and linear colour scheme that will add a bright yet feminine feel to your interior space.

Mirrors

Mirrors are a fabulous way of creating a sense of space and light in even the most compact of interior spaces. Whether you opt for a wall hanging mirror, free standing or table top design a luxurious coloured frame will create a focal point that looks amazing against a plain or patterned feature wall. Opt for classic period style designs, or shabby chic styles in subtle ice cream tones such as peach, lilac, blue and pink that will create an eye-catching centrepiece above a mantle piece, bed, dressing table or sideboard.

Crockery

With the shabby chic interior trend still as popular as ever, pastel coloured crockery has become readily available on the high street in a range of colours and patterns. Delicate baby blues, pink and lemon create a fun and cheerful table setting on a rustic cottage table or can be arranged neatly in a traditional oak dresser or a pastel painted display cabinet for a splash of colour that looks good enough to eat. Use a mismatch of designs, sizes and patterns for a truly vintage feel.

Chairs

If your dining room is lacking some colour or your living room is feeling a little bland then why not introduce some candy coloured seating that will lift the atmosphere within your chosen interior. Wooden dining chairs can be painted in matching or individual pastel colours that will look great in a vintage dining area or can be paired with a natural oak dining table for a twist on traditional cottage style. If you want to create a statement furniture item then you can reupholster your favourite occasional chair that will provide a zoned area of colour that will transform even the most neutral of interior spaces.
