Colour Trend - Daffodil

Who says that autumn and winter has to be about dark or muted colour tones? This is the perfect time of year to maintain or introduce a bright and cheerful ambiance to your interior to counterbalance the more gloomy tones that are outside our windows. With a selection of yellow, orange and chocolate tones being popular during this season why not a lively and complimentary DAFFODIL colour scheme to your chosen room and bring some spring-like sunshine into your life.

Colour Palette

This bold and bright yellow tone looks fabulous with a vast array of light and dark colours and can be displayed in its full vivid glory or toned down into a more subtle pale daffodil hue. For a fitting botanical feel then partner this yellow tone with lilac, pale blue and green that will create a garden inspired ambiance that is perfect for living room or conservatory areas. For a fresh and elegant interior design place daffodil alongside soft white, sky blue and navy for a refined, coastal feel that works well in both modern and classic homes. If you prefer a more contemporary feel then select monochrome, grey and crisp white walls and accent with rich daffodil tones to create a simplistic, masculine design with a hint of feminine vibrancy.

Cushions

Daffodil tones make a great colour choice for a selection of cushions as they create a zoned area of colour that can be introduced into your current home interior. Classic floral prints look great with hints of daffodil yellow, blue, white and lilac and provide the perfect way of adding pattern to a plain seating area or bed spread. For a clean and crisp finish place plain daffodil cushions alongside navy, or black and place on a slick white sofa for a minimal, contemporary finish that is perfect for creating a sleek loft inspired interior. If you like a nod to more vintage or retro designs then select bold geometric prints or stylised daffodil flowers and partner with vintage furniture or clashing bedspreads and throws for a mix and match of colours and patterns.

Upholstery

If your interior space is looking a little lacklustre and you furniture feels like it needs a new lease of life, you don’t have to spend a fortune purchasing an entire new collection of items. Why not give your current pieces a new lease of life with some fresh and bright daffodil upholstery. This zesty colour will look fabulous on a modern sofa or armchair or a selection of stools or dining chairs to give a pop of colour in an otherwise minimal space. For a more delicate and feminine feel then select an ornate craved occasional chair and upholster with a white and daffodil yellow, floral print fabric that can be complimented by a white or natural oak frame. If you wish to create the retro 1970s look that is popular this season then choose bold patterns and prints with a combination of yellow, orange and brown and co-ordinate with rugs and curtains for a vintage style design.

Accessories

If you have concentrated your daffodil colour to your walls then select complimentary accessories in rich black for a sleek and sophisticated design or crisp white for a more classic and elegant look and finish. If you prefer a splash of glamour then gold vases, candles and ornaments will compliment the rich tones of the yellow and will create an illuminating visual detail along a mantelpiece or sideboard area. If you have chosen a more neutral backdrop then add your daffodil accent tone with a bold coloured vase or a selection of photo frames or add colour to a plain wood or painted dresser with a selection of daffodil coloured plates, mugs and crockery that will create a focal point within your chosen room.

Furniture

The bright yellow tones of daffodil can be complimented with a wide variety of furniture styles depending on your tastes and requirements. For a sleek and contemporary look then opt for black or grey painted furniture items that will give a perfect balance of masculine and feminine design. For a more cosy and illuminating look then select white or cream painted furniture that will compliment the cheerful tones of the daffodil decor. Natural oak is a classic choice within the home and its warm golden tones will co-ordinate with the mellow yellow hues and create a bright yet cosy ambiance that works really well in living room and bedroom interiors.
