Colour Trend - Carmine

Sometimes we all need a pop of colour in our home interiors and red has been a long time favourite across both modern and traditional interior designs. Why not choose a rich CARMINE colour scheme in your home this season that is sure to create a focal point in any room of the home? It works amazingly in period style homes and well and sleek and contemporary interior designs. Use for an all over blast of colour or as an accent tone across your soft furnishings and accessories.

For a sleek and minimal interior design then team carmine with crisp white and monochrome colour palettes that will create a sophisticated edge with a blast of colour. This can be teamed with some simple monochrome striped wallpaper or an abstract wall mural featuring blasts of high intensity carmine. If you prefer a more rich and regal interior design then why not partner carmine with elegant cream, beige and green hues and finish with a bold rococo style wallpaper with accents of metallic gold. A more bold and eastern inspired interior design can be created by partnering carmine with a selection of bold jewelled tones with a metallic Moroccan patterned wallpaper that is sure to create a focal point on a main feature wall.

Carmine makes a great choice for upholstery and accessories as it will create zoned areas of colour within your chosen room. A rich and heavy pair of carmine coloured velvet curtains can be teamed with a selection of velvet and baroque patterned cushions and throws as well as tasselled bolsters and quilted throws for an opulent regal look. For a more eastern inspired interior design then select satin curtains and cushions and place alongside beaded, sequined and embroidered designs that can be teamed with an eastern inspired rug and throws. A striking visual contrast can be achieved by including some sleek and crisp white accessories alongside this bold colour palette or for a more traditional and refined interior design then team with some gold ceiling lights and lamp shades as well as a selection of period style vases, candle holders and ornaments for a traditional home interior.

Crisp white and cream furniture work well in a carmine coloured home interior and can be used to create a sense of space and light in smaller rooms of the home. Sleek white high gloss furniture will look great in contemporary homes and create a linear and minimal look against the bold carmine backdrop. Alternatively, for a more classic and traditional look you can select some oak or mahogany furniture items that are sure to create a cosy and homely focal point within your chosen room. If you have opted for a more eastern style of interior design, then why not select some walnut furniture items or a selection of traditional carved items with filigree detailing or bold mosaic table tops for an authentic Moroccan style home interior.
