Colour Trend - Coffee

Cafe inspired home interiors are a popular trend for 2016 and a rich and sophisticated COFFEE colour scheme is sure to give a classic and refined style in any room of the home. This subtle and dusky colour will look great as a feature or accent colour tone and will create a chic finish on upholstery, soft furnishings and furniture.

Colour Palette

For a classic Parisian cafe style of decor opt for coffee, mocha, taupe and cream tones that come together to create a cosy and inviting space to relax. If you wish to create a more spring inspired colour scheme then partner coffee tones with soft pistachio, mustard and misty grey that will give a hint of colour whilst still maintaining a sophisticated finish. A more period style design can be achieved using crisp antique white, rich chocolate and coffee tones that can be accentuated with luxurious metallic gold or more refined duck egg blue, pastel pink or fern green for a refined and eye-catching look.

Cushions and Throws

Coffee is a classic colour choice that works extremely well on soft furnishings, and cushions and throws make a fabulous addition to any bedroom or living room area. For a rich and glamorous look select satin or velvet cushions in shimmering coffee, chocolate and gold with luxurious, bead, sequin and tassel accents that will look amazing on a co-ordinating bed set or chocolate or cream leather sofa. If you love a cosy and inviting setting then why not opt for a selection of faux fur cushions and throws in soft coffee, mocha, taupe and cream that will create a tactile and visual texture against a neutral backdrop. Coffee cushions can be given a pop of colour with geometric, striped or rococo style prints in crisp white, vintage blue or soft pink and why not add some coffee cup prints or photographic cafe images for a chic and elegant finish.

Upholstery

If you are not quite brave enough to opt for bold colours on your upholstery then coffee coloured fabrics make a perfect choice as they perfectly balance the earthen neutrality of lighter colour palettes with the sumptuous and rich tones of deeper colour choices. Plain coffee coloured linen or leather make a great feature on a classic sofa or armchair and can be partnered with classic oak frames for a cosy and timeless style. More ornate and intricate French style furniture such as a chaise lounge or dressing table chair can be upholstered with a opulent coffee coloured satin or velvet fabric and teamed with a shimmering gold leaf frame for the ultimate in period style glamour. For a more retro style of home choose upholstery in bold 1960s prints that combine coffee, orange and mustard tones for a pop of vintage colour.

Accessories

For a simple and sleek interior finish then compliment your coffee coloured decor with some crisp white or crystal accessories that will give a fresh and elegant feel to your chosen interior space. If you wish to create a more rich and masculine ambiance, select black, walnut or chocolate coloured accessories such as vases, ornaments and frames that will compliment the sumptuous tones of your decor. Gold and copper accessories will give an air of glamour and opulence to your chosen room. Ornate rococo and baroque style mirrors and candlesticks will look fabulous on a fireplace area or more abstract and modern designs such as lamp bases and sculptures will create a focal point on a sideboard, bedside or side table area.

Furniture

Solid oak furniture makes a perfect accompaniment to a coffee colour scheme as the cosy golden tones will create a timeless air of warmth that works extremely well in living room and bedroom interiors. For a more feminine touch then opt for crisp white or cream painted furniture items that will give a complimentary contrast against the rich backdrop. Sleek walnut or mahogany furniture items will provide a masculine finish that blends together a range of coffee and chocolate tones. For the ultimate in glamour and flamboyance then select gold painted furniture items or select statement pieces such as a dining table, bed frame or sideboard that will create a shimmering focal point in your coffee coloured interior space.
