Colour Trend - Chilli

You can add some hot and fiery spice to your winter interior with a warming CHILLI interior colour scheme that will give a pop of rich colour to both modern and traditional interior spaces. This festive bold red tone will look great alongside neutral and bold decors and is perfect for the colder months as it creates a cosy ambiance without looking dark or overpowering.

Colour Palette

For a sleek and modern interior design then partner chilli red with crisp white, black and grey that will give a bold yet sophisticated feel that works particularly well in bedroom and living room interiors. If you prefer a more traditional feel in your interior space then opt for botanical and chalky colour tones such as cream, mauve and fern green that balance the strong red accents and create a more period style of design. For a fresh, Mediterranean inspired look then select chilli, lemon, aubergine and peach that will look great in a rustic kitchen diner for a balance of bright and sunshiny colour and classic country elegance. This strong red hue will also look great with ivory, midnight blue and navy for a more modern take on a classic nautical design

Cushions

Chilli red makes a great accent tone on a selection of cushions as it emphasises the balance of style and cosy functionality. For a classic wintery ambiance then opt for snugly cable knit cushions in clotted cream and chilli and partner with cosy tartan designs for a warm and welcoming look. If you prefer a more modern style in your home then why not select an array of chilli and grey cushions with added glitter and silver embellishments in ‘on trend’ designs such as stags, leaves and geometric prints. For a more traditional look and feel then opt for garden inspired colour combinations such as white, chilli, lemon and lavender and choose floral print designs that will add visual detail to a plain sofa or bed set.

Upholstery

Coloured upholstery provides a fabulous way of creating a zoned are of colour within your chosen room.  If you have a sleek and minimal home interior then a simple chilli red sofa or armchair will break up the neutrality of the room and create a stylish and functional focal point. If you have a traditional oak dining set then rich and warming chilli cotton upholstery will look fabulous on your dining chairs to provide a cosy, rustic ambiance. If you wish to create a classic highland style l in your chosen interior space then upholster an occasional chair in a traditional chilli red tartan fabric that will make a striking dressing table seat or reading chair in an office or study area.

Accessories

Red accessories are abundant this time of year and are a simple way of adding an accent colour to your interior space without the need for a full redecoration. Sleek red candlesticks, vases and photo frames will look great along a mantelpiece or sideboard and will create a burst of colour against a neutral backdrop. If you have concentrated your chilli colour to your walls then a selection of white, black or silver accessories will create a contrasting yet complimentary finish. For a festive, winter inspired table setting, take a selection of classic chilli red and white crockery and add a silver table cloth and napkins with a striking poinsettia centrepiece that will create a cosy area to enjoy a family meal.

Furniture

The beauty of a chilli red colour scheme is that it works equally well with both modern and classic furniture items and colour combinations. White painted furniture works particularly well in smaller home interiors as it creates a sense of space and light and provides a subtle contrast against the vibrant chilli walls. For a more sleek and masculine design opt for black painted items that will give a more striking visual impact to your room. Select statement items such as a large dining table or bed frame as to not overpower the space. Silver painted or mirrored furniture will add a splash of glamour to your chosen room and make a great boutique addition to a bedroom or dressing room interior. For a more cosy country inspired home then select some soft grey and natural oak furniture items that will create a perfect blend of modern style and rustic charm within your home.
