Colour Trend - Melon

This season is all about juicy, tropical colour tones that create a refreshing and bright ambiance in your chosen interior space. A mouth watering MELON interior colour scheme will create a bright and sumptuous interior design that is feminine and fashionable.

The fruity tones can be used to compliment a vast range of interior styles and colour partnerships and work equally well in both modern and classic home interiors. When combined with other summery colour palettes it creates a sunshiny haven that brings a little splash of the Caribbean into your home decor and accessories.

Colour palettes

The fruity tones of melon make it a perfect partner to both bright and neutral coloured hues. This fabulous tone can be paired with fresh yellow, orange and peach tones for a vibrant and summery interior design that looks particularly stylish in bedroom and living room areas. Combine with crisp white for a fresh and illuminating interior design or select mint green, pastel pink and cream for a rich and cosy garden inspired look. If you prefer a bolder contemporary look then select a combination of melon, grey and deep black tones to create a colourful yet sophisticated finish that looks particularly stylish in bedroom and dressing room areas.

Cushions

This season is all about bold and colourful cushions that create a flash of colour in both neutral and vibrant interior decors. Melon cushions create a vibrant area of colour whilst still maintaining an air of cosiness and calm. ‘Ombre’ cushions are a key trend in 2015 and this juicy colour tone is perfect for creating a tropical tie dye appearance. Select varying melon, peach and tangerine tones and display in a graduating arrangement along a window seat, bed or sofa for a vibrant visual appearance. Clean white and melon patterned cushions will look great in a conservatory or bedroom and give a fresh and bright appearance in neutral or minimal spaces. For a contemporary look then select geometric prints in melon, grey and monochrome colour schemes or choose fun and funky watermelon shaped 3D cushions that mimic the catwalk accessories of spring/summer 2015.

Upholstery

Colourful upholstery can transform the ambiance of your home interior and can be clashed or co-ordinated to your interior decor for a visual feast of vibrancy and texture. Melon coloured upholstery is a popular choice for adding a bold yet refined splash of colour to your home and it works extremely well in simple cotton and linen fabrics as well a luxurious velvet and satin finishes. A simple melon coloured occasional chair will look fabulous in the corner of a living room or bedroom area and can be partnered with fresh white or deep black fabrics for a feminine or masculine appearance. Update a selection of painted dining chairs with a soft melon coloured seat pad or re-upholster your current headboard for a rich and opulent finish that is bright and cosy.

Accessories

Melon coloured accessories can be added to your current interior decor providing you with a simple and cost effect accent colour within your chosen room. Simple melon coloured vases, ornaments and photo frames will add detailed colour to a crisp white painted mantelpiece or sideboard to create zoned areas of colour within the home.  Melon coloured plates and table settings will create a summery setting to enjoy a family lunch or dinner party and will look fabulous teamed with black and silver table accessories and centrepieces for a zesty yet sophisticated design. These melon coloured items will also look great displayed in a traditional white painted dresser to create a focal point in your kitchen or dining room area. If your prefer a more quirky interior finish then why not try your hand at painting a vase or mason jar in a juicy watermelon design that looks great on a windowsill to capture the light from your outside space.

Furniture

Juicy and fruity colour tones look fabulous with a wide range of furniture designs to create a varying style of contemporary and classic looks.  White painted furniture items compliment the fresh and illuminating tones of melon interior decor and create a sense of space and light that is perfect for smaller or compact room dimensions. Natural oak furniture will compliment the cosy tones of melon coloured walls and look particularly good with a selection of warm cream carpets or oak flooring for a more traditional interior feel. If you are feeling particularly bold then select contrasting black painted furniture items that will stand out against the rich and zesty melon tones and create a sleek and refined interior appearance that is modern and sophisticated.
