Colour Trend - Venetian Plaster

Soft and natural colour schemes are set to be one of the favoured choices for the autumn/winter season. Their neutrality and elegance mean that they fit perfectly into both contemporary and classic home interiors. A Venetian plaster colour scheme adds a sense of historic beauty to any room of the home and it's simple and chic, chalky mauve finish can be accommodated into a variety of interior design trends.

For a classic style of interior design why not partner Venetian plaster with taupe or cream and beige hues that will create a cosy and refined feel in any room of the home. This partnership will look great with a Baroque or Rococo patterned wallpaper for a stylish and stately finish. If you prefer a more chic and uplifting feel in your chosen space then you could team Venetian plaster with soft antique white that will create a sense of space and light in even the smallest of homes. This will look great with a traditional floral patterned wallpaper that will create a focal point within your chosen room. For a more modern colour palette place Venetian plaster alongside soft tonal grey or pewter for a Nordic inspired design with a twist of historic elegance. This colour partnership works well with botanical wallpapers as well as bold geometric patterns for more vintage inspired look.

Venetian plaster makes a great colour choice for soft furnishings as it adds a slight hint of colour whilst remaining neutral and versatile. A simple set of cotton, Venetian plaster coloured curtains will look wonderful against a cream or white painted wall and can be partnered with a selection of traditional period patterned cushions such as classic florals or Rococo patterns that will create a visual focal point along a plain sofa or bedding area. For a more modern and luxurious finish why not select some Venetian plaster and rose gold coloured cushions in a variety of chevron or diamond patterns that can be partnered with some faux fur or sequinned cushions that look particularly wonderful in a bedroom setting.

For a classic interior finish opt for some solid oak or walnut furniture items that will create a warm and cosy finish against the plaster coloured backdrop. This choice of furniture will compliment the historic feel of this colour choice and will look wonderful in traditional home interiors. For a light and bright ambiance you could select some cream or white painted furniture items that feature oak accents for a perfect balance of modern and traditional style features. Grey painted furniture also works well against a Venetian plaster back drop and creates a cosy yet bright feel that works wonderfully in any room of the home. Opt for traditional accessories such as a Venetian chandelier, grey storm lanterns or botanical floral arrangements and vases that will create a focal point in a window or on a sideboard area.
