Colour Trend - Blossom

Spring has finally sprung and it’s time to add some bright and uplifting colours into our home interiors. With fabulous flowers and botanical beauty beginning to emerge in the outdoor spaces why not bring the outside, inside with a gorgeous BLOSSOM interior colour scheme. This beautiful pink hue will create a light and feminine ambiance in any room of the home and gives a classically elegant style to your interior space.

Colour Palette

This delicate colour tone works wonderfully alongside a wide variety of colour combinations to give a light and fresh interior feel. Crisp white, blossom and fuchsia will give a classic floral finish that works particularly well in bedroom and dressing room interiors while soft blossom, mauve, lilac and peach give a striking and sumptuous finish that is bright yet cosy. If you wish to create a garden inspired interior design then partner blossom with white, blue and green for a botanical feel that looks amazing in garden view living rooms and conservatories. For a more elegant and period style colour combination choose blossom, claret and mustard that will give a rich opulence to your chosen room.

Cushions

If you do not wish to change your entire interior space, a selection of cushions on a bed or seating area will create a pop of colour and pattern in your current decor and will create a focal point that is subtle yet striking. Soft blossom, white and shimmering silver will look fabulous on satin cushions that can be given diamante embellishments or tassels for added visual detail and textures. For a classic and chic design opt for blossom and botanical coloured floral cushions such as classic roses or oriental cherry blossom designs for a fresh and feminine finish. Bold geometric designs look great in more contemporary home interiors and can be displayed in blossom and monochrome or blossom and navy to combine two of 2016s biggest trends.

Upholstery

Blossom colours lend themselves perfectly to floral print upholstery as they not only provide colour but visual pattern and print. Bold garden inspired prints will look amazing on a classic armchair, occasional chair or sofa and also make a great addition to solid oak dining chairs for an elegant country cottage look.  For a more glamorous finish select a curvaceous French style chair or chaise and upholster with a soft blossom satin or velvet fabric that can be further accentuated with a crisp white or silver framework for added elegance and opulence. Modern geometric prints in blossom and white, black or navy will look great on a sleek sofa or retro tub chair for a visually detailed area that combines soft and bold colour combinations.

Accessories

Clear glass accessories work particularly well with blossom colour tones as they compliment the illuminating and delicate tones of a pale pink decor. Cut crystal vases look fabulous with a pink and peach blossom floral arrangement and can be placed on a sunny windowsill or in the centre of a table, creating a soft and delicate focal point in your chosen space. This can be partnered with clear glass or silver and glittered accessories that will accentuate the sense of space within your interior and will not distract or overpower the pastel decor. For a more striking visual contrast opt for deep black accessories or shimmering gold that will add an air of glamour and drama to your spring time interior.

Furniture

Pastel tones make a great colour palette as they can be partnered with a wide variety of furniture styles and colours. White painted furniture makes a fabulous partner to blossom colours as it complements the light and soft finish and creates an illusion of space that is perfect for smaller home interiors. For a more masculine spin on this feminine colour choice, why not select bold black painted or glass furniture that will give a sleek and sophisticated finish with just a hint of subtle colour. Solid oak furniture is still one of the bestselling furniture ranges in the world and it can be partnered with blossom decor to give a classic and traditional look that looks great in a botanical themed living room or bedroom.
