Colour Trend - Red Velvet

While we may have waved goodbye to Christmas and said hello to a new year there is no reason to abandon warm and bright festive colours as we move through the winter months. RED VELVET is set to be one of the hottest interior colour choices for this season and is a perfect way to create a bold and warming feel in any room of the home. This colour choice is perfect for rustic and rural interiors as well as bold and modern looks, making it a versatile choice for any home.

For a simple and clean look that is perfect for a modern and minimal home then why not partner rich red velvet with crisp and bright white to create a sleek yet bold interior design that is perfect paired with a monochrome abstract wallpaper. For a classic rustic finish then team red velvet with cream and beige hues as well as mouth-watering chocolate and mocha tones. This palette will look amazing teamed with a tartan or hounds tooth wallpaper for a traditional highland inspired design. If you love the Nordic inspired interior designs that are an ever-popular choice as we move into 2019 then pair red velvet with soft grey hues that will create a cosy feel within your home. Team with a variety of natural and fair isle type patterns to complete your interior look.

Red velvet makes a perfect accent tone for soft furnishings and upholstery and will create a pop of rich tonal colour in any room of the home. Asset of red velvet curtains will add an air of luxury and opulence to your living room, dining room or bedroom and can be partnered with co-ordinating velvet and satin cushions with sequin glitter and tassel detaining for additional visual detail. For a more countrified interior design then opt for cotton and linen curtains and cushions in tartan and plaid patterns and team with a selection of wildlife cushions featuring deer, hare and fox that will look great scattered on a sofa or sleeping area. This style of interior can be further complimented with some cream or grey faux fur cushions, throws and rugs; perfect for cuddling up during these cold winter months.

Traditional oak furniture will look great alongside a red velvet colour scheme and is sure to create an inviting interior space that is classically elegant. Choose streamlined items for a modern look or chunky farmhouse items for a more rustic feel. Cream or grey painted furniture will look great in a rustic red velvet interior and will create a sense of openness while still maintaining a cosy interior feel. If you prefer a more modern look then why not add some white high gloss furniture that will create a sense of space and light that is perfect for smaller interior spaces. Include a selection of classic accessories such as brass ceiling lights, gold stag heads and storm lanterns that are sure to create specific focal points within the room.
