Colour Trend - Hot Pink

Jump on board the neon trend this season with a fabulous HOT PINK interior colour scheme. This bold and bright pink tone will make a fabulous feature in both modern and classic home interiors and gives a funky feminine feel in any room of the home. Don’t be afraid of this eye-catching tone, as it can be used in varying degrees to achieve both subtle and striking visual impact.

Colour Palette

For a fruity and summery interior feel then partner hot pink with sumptuous vanilla, tangerine, raspberry and custard yellow for a bright and feminine look that works in any room of the home. If you prefer a more sleek and sophisticated look then partner hot pink with aubergine, navy and dove grey for a masculine take on this feminine colour trend. Monochrome interiors can often look a little plain but when combined with flashes of hot pink they create a contrasting marriage of plain and luminous visual style. For a perfect parade of pink, showcase varying hues of the colour from hot pink, to baby pink for an ombre of tonal colour.

Cushions

Hot pink cushions are a great way of introducing a pop of colour into your home decor and provide you with a visual focal point without the need to break the bank. This bold pink colour will look great with metallic silver cushions or geometric print patterns that give visual texture and detail to a plain seating or sleeping area. For a more classic look then take a selection of floral print cushions featuring gorgeous hot pink, botanical tones such as sage green, lilac, lemon and blue for a bold and feminine design. If you prefer a more bold and contemporary look then take on this season’s hottest trend of monochrome chevron cushions and partner with hot pink cushions featuring tropical hibiscus and flamingo prints.

Upholstery

If you want to create an eye-catching area of colour in your chosen interior space then brightly coloured upholstery makes a great alternative to a traditional feature wall. For a gorgeous and glamorous boutique look then upholster a gorgeous French carved occasional chair with a hot pink velvet or satin fabric with a glossy black or silver painted frame for added opulence. Partner with a matching dressing table or side table for maximum visual style. A sleek minimal living room will look amazing with a simple hot pink cotton upholstered sofa with chrome legs for a modern and streamlined look.  If you like Oriental interior design then hot pink upholstery featuring a classic cherry blossom design will look elegant on a sofa, foot stool, dining chair or headboard.

Accessories

Hot pink makes a fabulous accent tone in your home and if you wish to create a subtle hint of this colour in your chosen room then an arrangement of coloured accessories could be the perfect choice for you. A hot pink lamp shade will look amazing partnered with a crystal or clear glass base for added illumination or a sleek black sculptural base for a more modern and abstract design. For a classic summertime feel then select clear glass vases and display a bold white, green and hot pink floral arrangement for a fresh and vibrant look. Include classic roses and hydrangeas for a British garden look or orchids and palm fronds for a tropical inspired arrangement. If you have concentrated your hot pink colour to your walls then opt for simple black or white photo frames, candle holders and ornaments for a contrasting yet complimentary finish.

Furniture

Painted furniture is sure to compliment the bold finish of a hot pink home interior and can be tailored to your chosen style or room design.  White painted furniture will create a light and illuminating finish that is perfect for neutralising the vibrancy of the pink backdrop and creates a sense of space and light that is ideal for smaller home interiors. Black painted items will give a more glamorous and masculine edge to the feminine colour tone but should be used sparingly to avoid overcrowding the room. If you love a splash of glamour and opulence then French carved furniture with a silver leaf finish will create a shimmering elegance that works particularly well in bedroom or dressing room interiors.
