Colour Trend - Valerian

Create a light and fresh spring like interior with a gorgeous VALERIAN colour scheme. This soft and dusky pink/purple hue will create a delicate and refined ambiance in any home interior. This colour is perfect for adding a wash of colour to your walls and soft furnishings and can be used as an accent tone on your accessories and wall art.

Colour Palette

Valerian works extremely well alongside other dusky and pastel colour tones such as peach, lavender, blush and mauve to give a soft and refined look that is colourful yet calming. For a more fresh springtime feel then partner valerian with lilac, white and pastel blue for a bright and cheerful interior look. Botanical hues such as raspberry, fern green and lavender can be teamed with valerian to create a garden inspired room that is colourful and feminine. A more modern look can be achieved by combining valerian with deep navy, grey or monochrome for a stylish and sophisticated finish.

Cushions

Floral cushions work extremely well in this soft colour scheme, with classic rose, hydrangea and orchid prints providing colour and pattern on a plain upholstered sofa or bedding set. For a cosy vintage style finish then select natural cotton and linen cushions in soft cream, taupe and valerian featuring traditional patterns such as stripes and plaid or elegant French style quotes and calligraphy for a chateau style finish. If you prefer a contemporary style interior then team valerian cushions with monochrome or white and navy cushions in bold geometric patterns or abstract prints.

Upholstery

Pastel and dusky tones are a great choice for upholstery as they create a delicate pop of colour without overpowering the look of the room. For an elegant chateau style design then select a soft white or silver painted, carved French chair and upholster with a simple valerian coloured cotton or opulent satin fabric. If you wish to create a more cosy and rustic feel in the room then partner some light oak or white painted dining chairs with some taupe and valerian linen upholstered seat pads and backrests for a perfect combination of style and comfort.

Accessories

Simple white accessories will create a bright and fresh feel against a valerian painted backdrop and will give a classic look to your chosen room. For a more elegant and traditional feel then opt for clear crystal or silver candleholders, vases and ornaments that will create sparkle and shine along a mantelpiece or table. If you prefer a more bold and masculine twist to this feminine colour palette then add a selection of black photo frames, mirrors and accessories that will create a visual contrast against the soft dusky walls.

Furniture

This delicate colour scheme will look wonderful with a selection of classic white painted furniture items that will compliment the illuminating colour scheme and create a fresh and inviting feel in your chosen room. Light oak furniture will create a textural and cosy feel in your home and is sure to create a French farmhouse style interior that is stylish and homely. Black furniture will create a dramatic and glamorous contrast against the light pastel backdrop or alternatively opt for stylish, polished mirrored furniture for added shimmer and glitz.
