Colour Trend - Primrose

Spring is almost here (with the emphasis on ALMOST) and its time to embrace the bright and sunny shades that evoke the fresh and uplifting style of spring. PRIMROSE is a light and bright yellow shade that is set to be one of the most popular colours for the upcoming season and it works wonderfully in both modern and traditional home interiors.

Colour Palettes

With its roots in nature, primrose works extremely well with botanical and floral colour schemes to create a fresh and elegant feel in your chosen room. Team with a selection of fern green, sage green and kale for a rich garden inspired design or pair with soft lilac, pastel pink, peach, mint and blue for a chic and delicate feel that is light and feminine. For a more modern design then pair primrose with deep cobalt blue, or navy for a colourful twist on these masculine shades. Primrose also works well with crisp white and a selection of greys, ranging from deep charcoal to soft dove grey.

Cushions

Coloured cushions make a great feature along a sofa, chair or bed and will add a pop of colour to your chosen room. For a classic look, team plain primrose cushions with traditional floral patterned designs featuring roses, hydrangea and of course primroses or opt for watercolour style prints that will compliment the soft nature of the colours. If you prefer a more modern design then select bold monochrome or white and grey cushions with hints of primrose in simple stripes, chevrons or bold geometric patterns that will create a focal point in the room.

Upholstery

Coloured upholstery is set to be another of 2017s hottest trends and this light yellow hue is perfect for creating an uplifting ambiance in any room of the home. An elegantly carved French chateau style occasional chair or a selection of dining chairs can be upholstered in a primrose coloured cotton fabric that will compliment the natural oak framework. For a bolder statement then upholster a vintage chesterfield or retro shaped sofa in a primrose yellow velvet or leather effect fabric to create an eye-catching focal point in your living room interior.

Accessories

The freshness of a primrose interior colour scheme will work perfectly with a selection of white ceramics and accessories to create a light and bright ambiance in the home. For a natural look that will bring the outside, inside then select some natural wood accessories such as candle holders, photo frames and sculptures that will look great along a rustic oak sideboard or table area. Metallic gold and silver accessories will bring some opulence and glamour to this illuminating colour scheme and will create a shimmering focal point within the room.

Furniture

Classic oak furniture works well with botanical tones of a primrose painted backdrop and will create a cosy and homely ambiance within the home. For a softer and more delicate look then opt for white and cream painted furniture designs that will create a light and open feel that still maintains a cosy country cottage charm. If you prefer to make a statement with your furniture items then select bold and masculine black painted designs or opt for clear glass tables, and units that will add a modern twist to this traditional colour.
