This Spring/Summer there is only one colour you need to think about for your home interior – DENIM DRIFT. This chalky blue tone has just been announced as Dulux’s colour of the year for 2017 and it’s easy to see why due to the elegance and versatility of this striking yet subtle hue.
Colour Palettes
Denim Drift will look great partnered with simple crisp white and pastel blues for a cool and calm coastal feel that is perfect for creating a calm and peaceful ambiance in your chosen room. For a more classic and sophisticated look then why not partner Denim Drift with dove grey, pewter and charcoal colour tones to give a masculine and refined feel in your home interior. If you wish to add some colour to your room then pair Denim Drift with soft pastel pink and dusky peach or retro chartreuse and mustard for a stylish designer finish.
Cushions
To reflect the cool tones of a Denim Drift backdrop, select cushions in varying tones of blue and white and team with simple striped and nautical inspired designs that will create a seaside feel that is perfect for the upcoming summer months. For a classic and serene design opt for floral cushions in denim, pastel blue and white that will add a dash of femininity to your chosen room. If you love Nordic style interior design then display some plain Denim Drift coloured cotton cushions alongside monochrome geometric patterned designs and grey faux fur for an inviting and cosy finish.
Upholstery
Denim Drift is a great colour choice for upholstery as it adds a pop of colour whilst remaining subtle and classic. A simple retro sofa or egg style chair will look great upholstered in Denim Drift coloured cotton fabric or for a more classic finish opt for a denim and white floral materials that will create a visual focal point on a traditional sofa or armchair. Oak, white or black painted dining chairs can be given a facelift with some Denim Drift striped fabric for a sophisticated and classic interior design.
Accessories
Classic white ceramics will create a light and uplifting feel against a Denim Drift painted backdrop while black accessories will provide a contrasting visual statement with a hint of masculine refinement. If you wish to create a Scandinavian style ambiance within your chosen room then opt for smoky oak accessories such as vases, frames and mirrors that will compliment the dusky blue and create a cosy feel within the room. For a pop of colour include some peach and pink toned flowers, lamp shades and ornaments that will add an air of femininity to you chosen space.
Furniture
White painted furniture will create a calm and serene feel in a Denim Drift painted interior and is perfect for creating a sense of space in smaller rooms of the home. For a more cosy and homely feel then why not opt for solid oak furniture items that will compliment the soft blue walls and provide a timeless addition to your home. Grey painted furniture is another hot trend to look out for in 2017 and it can be combined perfectly with this colour scheme to create an elegant and chic finish in your chosen interior.
