Soft and dusky colour schemes are a great choice for both modern and traditional homes as they provide a subtle hint of tone and colour while retaining a fresh and bright feel in your chosen room. TRUFFLE is an elegant and chic colour choice that features a pink/grey undertone that will sit comfortably alongside both neutral and bold colour palettes.
Colour Palettes
For a soft and delicate finish, partner truffle with pastel and dusky pinks, ivory and raspberry to create a fresh and feminine home interior. For a more classic, bistro inspired interior design then display truffle alongside mocha, taupe and chocolate hues for a rich and cosy feel. A masculine interior design can be achieved by pairing dove grey, pewter and truffle to create a refined interior appearance. Add pops of soft blue, teal or turquoise to your truffle colour tone for a fresh spring/summer colour palette.
Cushions
Dusky colours make a great choice for cushions as they can be mixed and matched with various colours and patterns to create a variety of interior looks. For an elegant and glamorous interior design then select soft grey and dusky truffle satin cushions that feature pleats, ruffles or sequined embellishments that will look great on an ornate sofa or bedding set for a rich and opulent design. A more delicate and refined design can be achieved by selecting some truffle coloured cotton cushions featuring vintage floral prints and patterns to create a botanical shabby chic design.
Upholstery
Truffle coloured upholstery is a great choice due to its neutral base with a subtle undertone of colour that will compliment a wide variety of rooms. For a classic and slightly retro look then opt for a chesterfield style sofa and armchair that can be upholstered in a truffle coloured cotton, linen or chenille fabric that works well with a natural oak framework. If you prefer a more glamorous look then select a French carved occasional chair and upholster in a truffle coloured floral fabric, paired with a white, cream or rose gold framework for an opulent look and finish. If displaying this chair in a bedroom then upholster a large arched or wing back headboard with matching fabric for a chic designer finish.
Accessories
Plain white or cream accessories will look wonderful against the dusky tones of the truffle backdrop and partner candle holders with truffle coloured candles and vases with soft blush and pastel coloured flower arrangements for a visual focal point in your room. Elegant crystal accessories will accentuate the glamorous properties of this colour scheme and will look great displayed on a windowsill or sideboard where they can glisten and gleam in the natural sunlight. For a more modern look then opt for soft grey or pewter accessories that will create visual contrast against the light and illuminating backdrop.
Furniture
Cream and grey painted furniture are hot on trend this 2017 and fit perfectly with this elegant dusky colour scheme. The combination of painted finishes will create a cosy yet bright feel that works particularly well in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. Crisp white furniture will also look great with a truffle painted backdrop and is perfect for creating a sense of space in smaller or more compact homes. For a classic look then opt for light and golden oak furniture that will create a warm and homely ambiance in any room of the home.
