Colour Trend - Lucite

Fresh and fruity jewelled tones are a must have addition to any interior during the summer months and this season is all about bright and cheerful LUCITE green colour schemes that will create an illuminating pop of colour in both modern and traditional home interiors.

Pantone has voted their ‘Lucite Green’ colour tone one of the most popular hues of 2015 and it is easy to see why this colour is the perfect choice for the upcoming warmer months. This cool and calm blue/green colour is perfect for creating a relaxing coastal look or a tropical beach side ambiance but can also be used alongside more sophisticated palettes for a classically elegant interior look.

Colour Palette

Lucite is a versatile colour tone that looks fabulous alongside a wide range of colour partnerships. If you wish to create a sleek and contemporary interior finish then partner your chosen Lucite tone with deep black and grey tones that gives a perfect blend of masculine and feminine design. For a bright and fresh look that is more traditional in nature then place lucite hues alongside crisp white, cream and baby blue for a light coastal feel that looks particularly stylish in bedroom and living room interiors. If you prefer a more bold and flamboyant look then why not create a tropical paradise using lucite, fuchsia, orange and purple tones that come together to create a vibrant Caribbean feel or add metallic gold and silver for a more embellished Moroccan look.

Cushions

Carefully selected coloured cushions will update even the blandest of home interiors in a simple and cost effective manner. Lucite coloured cushions will look fabulous against both neutral and bold upholstery designs and can be used to create a soft or vibrant atmosphere within your living room or bedroom area.  This uplifting hue is perfect for creating the popular ombre trend that is taking over homes this season. Select plain cotton or satin cushions starting with crisp white and arrange them in graduating tones through baby blue and lucite up to bold turquoise for a feeling of movement across a sofa or seating area. Cool linen cushions in lucite and white will create a crisp coastal finish while monochrome cushions in striped and geometric prints will create a modern take on classic nautical looks. For a more flamboyant look then select bold Indian and eastern inspired cushions in lucite, magenta and emerald tones with metallic embroidery and beaded embellishments for a truly unique and glamorous feel.

Upholstery

Adding a splash of colour to your home interiors can be achieved simply and effectively by changing the upholstery on your seating areas or curtains without the need for a complete overhaul of your current decor. A simple straight edged lucite sofa or armchair will create a ‘colour pop’ in a neutral interior decor and can be used on classic French style armchairs for a traditionally elegant appearance or a retro chrome framed sofa for a blend of contemporary and vintage interior design. Bold floral print curtains look great in summer garden rooms or bold wide stripes will give a sophisticated modern look to bedroom or dining room area. For a sleek and minimal look then select lucite plastic stools and Eames style chairs for a luxurious designer look.

Accessories

Lucite green accessories will look fantastic against a wide range of interior decors and furniture designs. Lucite coloured photo frames and ornaments will look great along a sleek black or white painted mantelpiece to create a focal point within your home. A plain white vase with a lucite coloured floral arrangement and ornamental grasses will make a wonderful summer centrepiece on a large family dining table or a chic bistro set for a classic interior look. Lucite coloured glass is perfect for more modern home interiors as it gives a sleek and minimal look with hint of colour that does not distract from the clean and fluid lines of their designs. These items look great on a windowsill area where the natural light can highlight their shimmering lines and glistening exteriors.

Furniture

Lucite green is a diverse colour that can be co-ordinated with a vast range of furniture styles and colours. For a fresh and summery ambiance, opt for crisp white and rich grey furniture items that will accentuate the light and calming lucite tones and create a feminine feel in any room of the home. If a contemporary interior is more your thing, add a selection of black glass or lucite glass furniture items that will create a blend of sleek and shimmering lines and masculine design to give a unique and modern appearance. Mirrored furniture items also work particularly well with this vibrant yet tranquil tone to accentuate its illuminating yet bold nature.
