Colour Trend - Spearmint

Fresh and pastel colour tones are perfect for the upcoming Summer season. Soft and pure shades of mouth watering colours will create a focal point within your room without overpowering the light and relaxed ambiance. A SPEARMINT colour scheme will compliment a wide variety of contemporary and classic home interiors and can be used across your walls, floors, soft furnishings and furniture to create a pop of colour that is chic and stylish.

For an elegant and classic finish why not team spearmint with simple crisp white and ivory tones that will give your room a soft and subtle hint of colour while remaining light and bright. If you prefer to jump into this season’s ice cream trend then you can partner spearmint with other pastel hues such as peach, mint, baby blue and lemon that will create a fresh and a juicy feel in any interior space. If you prefer a more sophisticated and muted interior style then why not place spearmint alongside a range of tonal greys from pale dove grey too deep charcoal that will create slightly Scandinavian inspired design that is eye catching yet laid back. If you love pattern and print on your walls then you could opt for a candy striped wallpaper featuring spearmint and pastel hues that will create a focal point on a main feature wall. If you prefer a more feminine and delicate pattern then why not choose a floral wallpaper in spearmint and botanical hues that can also be mixed and matched with your soft furnishings and accessories.

Spearmint is a perfect colour choice for your soft furnishings as it is light and bright but also gives a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral space. A set of pale spearmint curtains featuring floral patterns, stripes or leaf and tree print patterns will bring a sense of the outdoors indoors and gives a fresh feel to your interior space. Partner these curtains with spearmint cushions in simple cotton, satin or velvet finishes and include some tassels, beads and sequins for a more Moroccan inspired design. To hop on board the Scandinavian trend then you can mix and match some spearmint coloured cushions with grey faux fur cushions and throws and a deep grey shagpile rug that will create texture and style within your chosen interior.

White painted and white high gloss furniture make the perfect partner to a spearmint interior design. The light and fresh exterior of this furniture will compliment the soft pastel backdrop and create a sense of space and light in even the most compact of interior spaces. Grey painted furniture will also look great with a spearmint coloured backdrop and gives a slightly more cosy country inspired feel to your chosen room. If you love a hint of glamour and luxury in your interior space then why not include some mirrored or clear glass furniture items that will add a sleek designer feel to your chosen room. Mirrored furniture works particularly well in bedroom and dressing room interiors with statement items such as stylish dressing tables, bedside cabinets and wardrobes.
