Colour Trend - Provence Blue

Soft and dusky tones are set to be as popular as ever during 2018 with classic muted colours taking centre stage across wallpaper, soft furnishings and accessories. PROVENCE BLUE is a great choice for both modern and traditional interiors as it creates a pop of subtle colour that is elegant and refined. This dusky blue hue is chalky and feminine and can be used to create a relaxed ambience in any room of the home.

For a classic French style interior then partner Provence blue with antique or off white and soft and delicate creams for an elegant chateau inspired design that is perfect for more rural interior spaces. If you love a feminine and colourful home interior then why not team Provence blue with complementary pastel hues such as peach, pink, mint and lemon for a shabby chic style design that is relaxed and stylish. These colour schemes look fabulous teamed with floral or botanical wallpapers for added visual detail. If masculine home interiors are more your style then create a colour scheme using Provence blue, black and tonal grey hues that will create a more modern feel to your chosen room and can be further accentuated with some bold monochrome wallpaper in abstract or geometric patterns.

A plain or neutral interior space can be given a hint of colour with some Provence blue and white patterned curtains, cushions, bedding and rugs to create a focal point within your chosen room. Opt for classic floral designs for a chateau inspired look or more period style rococo or fleur-de-lys patterns that will create a stately elegance in a crisp antique white room. If you prefer a more modern interior look then select some Provence blue, black and white cushions in bold geometric patterns, stripes or chevrons and scatter along with a sleek white or black sofa or sleeping area. For a more glamorous finish select some satin and velvet cushions and curtains in Provence blue, silver and gold that will give a palatial edge to any room of the home.

Grey or crisp white furniture will provide a perfect finish against a Provence blue interior background and will create a chic French-inspired design that is soft and elegant. Team with a classic French chandelier and some candlesticks for an elegant and feminine finish. For a chunky cottage-inspired design then some natural oak furniture will create a cosy and welcoming ambience that works particularly well in the living room and dining room interiors. If you wish to create a contemporary spin on this colour scheme then you can opt for some white high furniture that is perfect for creating a sleek look of space in smaller rooms of the home. Add some mirrored tables, clear glass vases and chrome lighting that will complement the glossy and reflective surfaces of the furniture items.
