Colour Trend - Fig

‘So bring us some figgy pudding, so bring us some figgy pudding, so bring us some figgy pudding...into our interiors!’ While we may opt for a classic Christmas pudding over a figgy pudding these days; a rich and cosy FIG colour scheme will create a deep and inviting ambiance that is perfect for the cold winter months. This warm purple hue will look fabulous on a statement feature wall or as an accent tone on your cushions and accessories and its versatility means that it sits comfortably in both modern and traditional homes.

Colour Palette

This sumptuous colour tone works equally well with both bold and neutral colour partnerships. For a sleek and elegant design then select crisp white, fig and grey and add accents of silver for a hint of luxury glamour that is perfect for the upcoming festive season. For a fusion of purple tones then select fig, lilac and aubergine tones that will look particularly striking in a bedroom or dressing room interior. For an historic style of design then select fig, clotted cream and russet tones that will create a rich and cosy atmosphere that looks wonderful in a living room and dining room area. If you prefer a lighter and brighter feel then add accents of fig to soft peach, ivory and mauve for a more delicate and feminine touch.

Cushions

Coloured cushions provide the perfect way to introduce an accent colour into your existing home interior and will create a zoned area of colour and pattern on a seating or sleeping area. Fig coloured cushions look great alongside cosy cream and beige with accents of burnt orange for an autumn/winter colour palette that can be further accentuated with leaf or floral print patterns and simple stripes for an air of classic sophistication. For a more sleek and crisp finish then pair fig and white cushions with rococo or geometric patterns and add accents of silver for a shimmering and illuminating finish. This elegant colour also looks great with Moroccan and eastern patterns on simple linen fabrics with tassel accents and beading.

Upholstery

Purple upholstery is a massive trend this season as it gives a rich and cosy ambiance in the home that is a great alternative to classic winter green and red. If your home is simple and minimal in appearance then select a single sofa or armchair and upholster in plain, fig coloured upholstery that will add a pop of colour against the sleek backdrop of your interior. For a more eye-catching design then opt for cream, fig and green upholstery in a classic floral print that will look great on a traditional armchair for a fresh yet cosy feel. For the perfect splash of glamour and flamboyance then upholster a large headboard in a soft fig coloured velvet fabric and add chesterfield detailing with silver buttons or diamante accents for a shimmering and opulent finish.

Accessories

With such a strong and rich colour in your decor you can choose to use simple and neutral accessories or eye-catching complimentary designs that will create a focal point within your home. For a bright and classic appearance then select simple white or clear glass accessories such as vases, votives and photo frames that will look elegant along a mantelpiece or sideboard area. For a more masculine finish the select sleek black or smoked glass items that will create a rich and sophisticated feel that works particularly well in living rooms or home office interiors. If you wish to create a shimmering and glamorous ambiance then select silver and glittered accessories such as mirrors, ornaments and candles that will give a luxury designer feel to your home.

Furniture

Soft white, cream or grey painted furniture with accents of natural wood will create a warm and cosy ambiance that perfectly complements the deep and rich tones of a fig interior colour scheme. For a strong and masculine interior feel then select deep black painted or black glass furniture that will create a sleek and sophisticated ambiance in your home. Glistening glamour that is elegant and shimmering can be achieved with a selection of silver painted furniture such as a dining table, dresser or carved bed frame that will create a perfect balance of period and modern opulence within your home.
