Colour Trend - Lapis

Blue is the colour of 2017 and for a bold and sophisticated look why not select a jewelled LAPIS colour scheme that will look fabulous in both period and modern home interiors. This elegant and colourful hue will look fabulous in a wide variety of home interiors and can be used as a feature colour or accent tone on your accessories and soft furnishings.

Colour Palettes

For an elegant and simple colour partnership, team lapis blue with crisp white for a Wedgewood or oriental inspired interior space that is classically stylish. Combine tonal colours such as lapis, pastel blue and duck egg and partner with dove grey, beige and taupe for a classic combination that is colourful yet refined. If you prefer a more bold and modern look then team lapis blue with neon colour tones such as bright fuchsia, red, lime and yellow that creates a bold look in any room of the home.

Cushions

Oriental pattern cushions in bright lapis and white will look fabulous along a plain sofa or sleeping area and create a classic look within your chosen room. For a more bold and modern design then select lapis, black and white cushions in striking chevron or geometric patterns that can be teamed with pink, lime or red plain cushions for a variation of colour. If you love exotic and vibrant colour combinations then display an array of Moroccan inspired cushions featuring jewelled tones such as lapis, emerald, ruby and sapphire with gold tassels, embroidery and embellishments for a luxurious and glamorous finish.

Upholstery

A classic oak or black framed armchair or reading chair will look wonderful with lapis blue cotton or linen upholstery that will create a burst of colour that is cosy and textural. For a perfect combination of traditional and modern style then upholster a chesterfield style sofa in bright lapis velvet for an opulent focal point in your living room interior. If you wish to create the ultimate in glamour and old school Hollywood luxury then take a stylish and shimmering silver leaf framed occasional chair, upholster in a lapis blue satin and team with a silver painted dressing table for a flamboyant dressing room area.

Accessories

If you have used a strong lapis blue as your background colour on a feature wall then why not add a selection of white chinaware and accessories that will create a bright contrast against the colourful walls. For a more masculine twist then add some black painted or black mirrored accessories that will create a sleek and stylish finish that is dark and sophisticated. A more traditional design can be achieved with some classic silver candelabras and photo frames that will create some shimmer and shine against the jewelled blue colour scheme.

Furniture

White painted furniture is the perfect partner for a lapis blue interior as it creates a visual contrast that adds a sense of space and light to your chosen room. For a classic and cosy look then display a selection of chunky or traditional oak furniture that will create a warm and homely feel that works particularly well in living room and dining room interiors. Black furniture will create a refined and masculine feel in the room but should be used sparingly to avoid the room feeling dark or overcrowded. Opt for statement items such as a sideboard, table or bed frame and mix and match with co-ordinating white or soft grey items for an elegant and co-ordinating finish.
