Colour Trend - Atomic Red

Colourful interiors are perfect for the upcoming summer months as they provide a bold and bright foal point in both modern and traditional homes. Atomic Red is a perfect choice for any room in the home as its bright fiery and sunshiny tones will compliment a wide variety of bold and minimal colour palettes. This colour trend can be used to create cosy country style rooms as well as fun retro, tropical and contemporary spaces making it a stylish and versatile choice for any home.

For a simple and clean look that will look amazing in modern home interiors then opt for an atomic red and white colour scheme that will create a fresh and bright feel in any room of the home. For a more masculine twist you could add accents of black, charcoal and tonal grey to create a rich and sophisticated look that can be further complimented with some striped or geometric print wallpaper. If you love classic interior looks then why not pair atomic red with rich cream and orange colour palettes that can be paired with a hounds tooth or tartan wallpaper for a cosy country house design. Atomic red and botanical colours such as lilac, rose and apple green will look amazing with a bold floral wallpaper for the perfect summer look that is reminiscent of a classic British country garden.

Soft furnishings provide the perfect way to introduce a new colour into your home without the need for a complete redecoration of your chosen room. A set of bold atomic red curtains will create a focal point in a plain or minimal space and can be complimented with a scattering of tartan cushions and wildlife inspired cushions or plaid bedding for a stylish highland inspired interior look. If you wish to accentuate the warmer weather and holiday spirit of the summer months then why not add some tropical style to your interior space with some orchid, palm print and parrot cushions, curtains or bedding that will add a splash of pattern and colour to your living room or bedroom interior.

Sometimes matching your furniture to such a bright colour scheme can be a daunting task however there are a wide variety of options that will compliment an atomic red colour scheme. Simple and traditional oak furniture will compliment the warm red undertones of this colour scheme and will create a cosy and inviting ambiance within the room. For a combination of light and cosiness then you could select some cream painted furniture that looks great in both modern and classic homes. A more contemporary look can be achieved with some sleek white high gloss furniture items that will create a minimal and designer interior look that is a perfect contrast against the bold and eye catching red of your walls, soft furnishings and accessories.
