Colour Trend - Sweet Pea

Floral colour schemes are perfect for the summer months as they bring the beauty and elegance of outdoor spaces into the home to create a light and inviting interior look. This month why not opt for an elegant SWEET PEA colour scheme that will create a fresh and feminine feel in any room of the home. This pastel pink/purple tone will look great in both modern and classic homes and can be paired with a wide variety of neutral or bold colour partnerships.

Colour Palette

For a soft and classic finish then team sweet pea with simple crisp or antique white for a light and bright interior that is classically feminine. If you prefer a more modern look then why not partner sweet pea with soft grey and charcoal that will create a tonal space that is chic and relaxing. For a hint of colour then pair sweet pea with soft purples and pale blue for a floral palette that is colourful yet delicate. If you prefer a more bold and masculine design then combine sweet pea with deep black or navy for a sophisticated designer finish.

Cushions

Update a plain sofa, chair or bed frame with a selection of sweet pea coloured cushions in bold floral patterns that will bring a hint of summertime garden into your interior spaces. For a more stylish look that is hot on trend this season take a selection of bold geometric patterned cushions in crisp white, sweet pea and rose gold for a glamorous metallic finish. Mink and cream coloured faux fur cushions also look great alongside plain sweet pea designs and create a colourful yet cosy finish in your chosen interior space.

Sweet pea coloured cotton or linen fabric will create a subtle yet eye-catching finish on a classic or modern sofa or can be used to add a pop of feminine colour to a foot stool or pouffee. For added glamour and sophistication in a bedroom interior, why not upholster a classic white painted, French carved occasional chair with some lustrous sweet pea coloured satin and team with a co-ordinating white painted dressing table for an opulent interior that oozes classic period opulence. You could also add a large sweet pea upholstered headboard with chesterfield style button or diamante detailing for a co-ordinating luxurious finish.

Accessories

Copper and rose gold accessories are still a popular trend this year and are a great way of adding some shimmer and shine to your interior space. Metallic light shades, lamp bases and accessories will look great against a pastel sweet pea backdrop and will give a designer feel to your chosen room. For a classic finish then select some white ceramic vases, white painted photo frames and accessories that will create a light and bright feel that compliments the femininity of the colour scheme. Black accessories are great for creating contrast within the room and can be used to add a bold finish against the colourful interior backdrop.

Furniture

White painted furniture will create a fresh and uplifting ambiance against the sweet pea painted walls and is perfect for creating a sense of space and light in smaller rooms of the home. Classic oak furniture provides a more cosy finish against the pastel background and is sure to create a homely and inviting ambiance in any living room, dining room or bedroom. For a more modern look then opt for black or white high gloss designs or clear and mirrored glass that will create a stylish statement in any interior space.
