Colour Trend - Pumpkin

Just because Halloween is over it doesn't mean we have to wave goodbye to our favourite Autumnal fruit...the PUMPKIN. This rich and cosy orange tone will look amazing in a seasonal home interior and brings together the changes colours of the landscape with the need for a warm and inviting interior during the colder months. This earthen yet bright colour will look fabulous in both modern and traditional homes and brings a hint of spice to any room of the home.

Colour Palette

Warm pumpkin orange will look amazing partnered with a wide variety of both bold and neutral colour palettes. For a chic and delicate look then partner your chosen Pumpkin tone with a rich cottage cream and taupe to give a light and bright interior with a hint of autumnal colour. If a more retro 1970s style is more to your taste then opt for bright pumpkin and mustard and place alongside deep chocolate and mocha tones or vibrant reds for a vintage style with a hint of contemporary flair. If you wish to create a sleek and modern interior design then choose, pumpkin, grey and black colour palettes that are hot on trend this autumn and perfectly combine bold and refined interior tones.

Cushions

Selections of coloured cushions are a great way of creating warmth and visual detail in your home this season and provide a stylish and functional focal point within your interior space. For a crisp and clean look that works wonderfully against light upholstered seating areas, opt for white and pumpkin cushions in cosy linen fabrics and floral or plain designs that are simple with a hint of bold colour. For a more retro look then opt for a combination of colours such as pumpkin, red, yellow and brown and showcase geometric or tie-dye designs that will look great on a vintage sofa. If you prefer a more contemporary look with a hint of classic elegance then select dove grey, pewter, black and pumpkin cushions in a selection of repeating patterns that can be co-ordinated or mixed and matched for stylish visual detail.

Upholstery

Coloured upholstery is a popular trend this season and is a great way of introducing an accent colour into your home interior without the need for complete redecoration. A rich pumpkin coloured fabric will make a great addition to a retro style occasional chair and can be partnered with a wooden frame for a vintage look or crisp chrome or Perspex for a more modern interior design. This rich colour choice will also look great on a selection of oak or mahogany dining chairs as the spicy undertone will perfectly compliment the earthen and warming wood finish. If you wish to follow current designer looks then select some round knitted pouffes in pumpkin and grey that are great for putting your feet up and enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Accessories

The warming tone of pumpkin means that it can be complimented with a large variety of home accessories. For a bright and illuminating interiors then select crisp white items such as vases and frames that will stand out against the bolder colour of the backdrop or choose a selection of pumpkin coloured lamps and ceiling lights for a co-ordinating interior look. For a sleek and more masculine finish then op for deep black and grey accessories or mirrored items that will create a striking focal point along a mantelpiece or sideboard. If you love an elegant and glamorous home then why not opt for shimmering silver and gold accessories that will add some rich opulence to your chosen room and are perfect for creating a sparkling ambiance in preparation for the upcoming festive season.

Furniture

Black painted furniture looks particularly good against a pumpkin interior backdrop and creates a sleek and sophisticated finish within your interior space. Black glass furniture items will also provide the same depth and texture to your room whilst allowing the illusion of more light making them perfect for smaller home interiors. White painted furniture will also look great with a pumpkin colour palette and creates a bright and fresh feel that works particularly well in living room and bedroom spaces. For a more glamorous look then select mirrored, silver or gold leaf furniture items that will create a visually striking focal point in any room of the home.
