Colour Trend - Lava

Rich red colour tones make a great addition to autumn/winter interiors as their cosy hues create warmth in any room of the home. LAVA red is a perfect choice for winter homes as the fiery orange undertones create a cosiness that will compliment both modern and traditional rooms. While this colour choice may seem bold; when combined with complimentary softer hues it creates a classic and refined interior finish.

Colour Palettes

This rich red hue will look great alongside creamy neutrals and soft grey tones to create a rustic country cottage feel that works extremely well in living room and bedroom interiors. For a classic autumnal colour palette then partner lava red with mustard yellow, clotted cream and mocha for a tonal backdrop that is cosy yet colourful. If you are feeling particularly brave then why not partner lava red with bold jewelled tones such as cobalt blue, aubergine and lime green for a Moroccan inspired colour scheme that is sure to create a vibrant visual finish in your chosen room.

Cushions

Colourful cushions make a great focal point on a sofa, seating area or bed and red is a perfect colour for creating a welcoming and cosy ambiance. For a perfect  mix of modern and retro design features then select classic vintage colour combinations such as lava red, orange and mustard and display an array of chunky knitted cushions alongside co-ordinating faux fur designs for a contemporary rustic look. Plaid and tartan designs will also achieve a classic winter look while crisp white and lava red floral cushions will create a more feminine period style design. For a bold finish opt for satin cushions in lava red, blue and purple with gold and silver embroidery and embellishments for a bright eastern design.

Upholstery

Coloured upholstery will make a huge visual impact in any room of the home and red is a perfect choice due to its timeless and stylish appeal. For a fun and funky retro feel, display a lava red egg chair in the corner of the room and partner with a cool grey vintage sofa for a bold yet relaxed home interior. Classic oak dining chairs will look great upholstered in lava red striped or plaid fabric for a country cottage look and finish while bold lava red leather will compliment chrome framed bar stools to give a pop of modern colour in a sleek white, high gloss kitchen diner.

Accessories

If you have concentrated your lava red colour scheme to your walls or soft furnishings then a collection of white ceramics and accessories will create a complimentary finish to your chosen room. Soft grey accessories such as painted photo frames will create a country cottage feel to your interior space while shimmering chrome candle holders, vases and lamp bases will add a splash of modern glamour to your home. A more masculine design can be achieved using sleek back accessories. For a modern winter table setting then combine black and silver crockery, cutlery and placemats with a lava red table cloth and add a poinsettia centrepiece for a winter inspired design.

Furniture

Solid oak furniture will look great in a lava red interior space and creates a classic and timeless look with a hint of rustic, country charm. For a more sleek and modern design then select some white high gloss furniture in modular, straight edged shapes that will create a minimal and futuristic finish in your chosen room. If you prefer a more glamorous and opulent look then select statement pieces of French carved, black painted furniture that will create a visual focal point in your room and provides a striking finish that is sure to add the ‘wow factor’ to your home.
