Colour Trend - Jade

With Bohemian, Moroccan and Oriental interior design becoming increasingly popular during 2014 there is one colour that has become a must have tone that is both fresh and colourful as well as sophisticated and refined - JADE.

This fabulous colour trend is bright and versatile and fits easily into classic and retro interiors as well as complimenting contemporary or minimal interior designs. In a few simple steps you can inject this rich colour into any room of your home.

Walls

A carefully selected wallpaper can completely transform the look and feel of your home and with a vast range of Jade colours and patterns available on the high street it is one of the simplest ways of adding this colour to your interior space. For added texture and colour then why not add a matching coloured art piece or mirror to your chosen feature wall for an illuminating focal point that will create a sense of openness in compact room designs. Opt for rich jade painted frames and designs or alternatively choose a mosaic style frame inlaid with jade effect stones for a textural and visual appeal.

Lamps

Lamp bases and Shades are an ideal way of introducing a new colour into an existing interior decor. Bold jade designs will provide a refined and classic feel that looks perfect in both minimal and colorful interior settings. Opt for historic oriental designs or vintage art deco styles that adopted this rich colour choice. You can combine your base with a matching lamp shade or opt for varying tones or completely contrasting colours. This will create a visual focal point that looks fabulous on a classic lamp table, sideboard or console table providing practical illumination and elegant style.

Cushions

For me a sofa or bed without a selection of cushions looks naked and unfinished and not particularly inviting. A scattering of cushions creates visual colour and pattern as well as providing a welcoming and cosy space in which to relax. Oriental floral designs look wonderful in this colour choice and will compliment both dark and light upholstery. Bold and abstract designs will look great in contemporary interiors and will provide a colour pop in both minimal and bold interior settings.

Furniture

Jade green furniture may seem like a bold choice for your interior but this illuminating colour looks fabulous in neutral interior spaces as it provides a colourful and visually striking focal point within your home. When opting for a colourful furniture item, choose a statement item that will create an artistic splash of colour in your chosen room. Sideboards, dressers and tables will create a centrepiece in your interior and can be adorned with complimentary accessories and crockery for a rich and lustrous finish that will provide a textural and practical addition to your home.

Buddha

Last but not least, no jade interior would be complete without a traditional jade Buddha to watch over your home. In eastern cultures Jade can represent healing and purity which makes it a popular choice for jewellery and statues. The soothing and wise energy of jade is believed to be the best match for Buddha energy and therefore even the smallest of statues will create a peaceful and purifying atmosphere within your home interior.
