Colour Trend - Squash

Warm yet bright colour schemes are set to be a huge trend this year and tonal yellows and orange hues are perfect for any season of the year. A SQUASH colour scheme will create a pop of colour within your home without overpowering the ambiance of your room. This pale orange hue can be paired with modern and traditional interior designs to create a fresh and cosy feel.

For a soft and classic interior feel then partner squash with rich cream or off white to create a light and bright interior design that is perfect for smaller home interiors. For a more modern twist on this colour tone that team squash with dove, grey charcoal and black for a deep and rich interior feel that is masculine and sophisticated. If you prefer a colourful and bright interior feel then you can create a burst of vibrancy with a squash, fuchsia, turquoise and purple colour palette that is sure to create a tropical inspired feel within your chosen room. Floral and tropical print wallpapers will look great on a main feature wall or opt for vintage and retro geometric designs in squash, mustard, cream and brown that will create a focal point within the room.

If you love the brightness and warmth of Mediterranean home decor then this colour scheme is perfect for you. Opt for some squash coloured linen or cotton curtains and partner with cream, brown and squash coloured cushions and rugs featuring traditional, Spanish and Greek inspired patterns. For a more exotic feel then select some squash coloured satin curtains and team with satin cushions or bedding in bold eastern colour schemes, featuring metallic beads and tassels for a Moroccan inspired room. Vintage homes can be given a touch of colour with some squash and mustard coloured bold geometric bedding, cushions, rugs and curtains that will create visual impact within your home.

Cream or white painted furniture will compliment the bright tones of a squash colour scheme and can be used to create a sense of space and light in smaller rooms of the home. If you wish to accentuate the orange undertones of the colour scheme then why not include some oak furniture that will create a cosy and welcoming feel in any room of the home. Grey painted furniture provides a perfect balance of modern and classic interior style and will look wonderful in both bold and neutral interior spaces. For a classic finish, include some gold or copper accessories such as lighting, tableware and candleholders or if you prefer a more fresh and clean feel select white or cream ornaments and accessories that will create an uplifting feel in your chosen room. Rustic homes can be decorated with oak photo frames, mirrors and sculptures to create a cosy and rich interior ambiance.
