Colour Trend - Wanderlust

Behr have announced their colour of the year for 2017 and it is bold and striking WANDERLUST. This deep teal blue hue has been chosen due to its rich and relaxing tones that will sit comfortably in both modern and traditional home interiors.

Colour Palettes

For a simple and clean look that creates a modern, coastal inspired feel in the home then partner Wanderlust with crisp white, soft grey and pale blue for a tranquil and relaxed interior setting. For a more summer inspired interior design then you can pair Wanderlust with soft pastel pink, peach and blush tones for a tropical and feminine feel. A bohemian style look can be achieved with a combination of bold Wanderlust and natural cream, beige and mocha or add pops of mustard for a more retro inspired design.

Cushions

Wanderlust makes a great colour choice for cushions as its deep and sumptuous tones will create an inviting and sophisticated feel in you chosen room. For a splash of modern glamour, opt for wanderlust and gold or copper cushions in bold geometric patterns that will look great on a crisp white minimal sofa. If you prefer a more cosy and relaxed look in your chosen interior then opt for chunky knitted cushions in beige, wanderlust and mustard tones that can be teamed with neutral faux fur designs for a modern Nordic inspired design.

Upholstery

A retro style sofa or egg chair will look great with a plain cotton or linen wanderlust coloured fabric that will create a focal point in any living room area. For a more glamorous design then why not opt for a French style carved occasional chair or chaise lounge that can be upholstered in a soft Wanderlust coloured satin or velvet fabric and teamed with a silver or gold painted frame for added opulence and elegance. Simple oak dining chairs with Wanderlust and white striped fabric will create a modern twist on a classic, country cottage look.

Accessories

Simple white accessories will compliment the deep teal coloured backdrop of the room and will create a sense of space and illumination to prevent your interior looking dark or overcrowded. For a more palatial style finish then include some gold, silver or copper accessories that will add a metallic elegance on a mantelpiece, sideboard or window area. If you wish to create a more sleek and contemporary finish then partner your Wanderlust colour scheme with some shimmering mirrored accessories such as candle holders, photo frames and wall mirrors that will create a light and open feel within the room.

Furniture

Simple white furniture will compliment the rich and dark tones of this colour scheme and is perfect for smaller or more compact homes. Opt for classic country style designs for a cosy and homely feel or sleek high gloss items for a modern designer home. Solid oak furniture will add a warm and traditional feel to the room while cream painted items perfectly combine classic style and illuminating elegance. These mirrored furniture items are great at creating the illusion of space within your chosen room and they will create an ultra modern feel when combined with the deep Wanderlust coloured walls.
