Iridescent Home Decor

Soft pastel rainbow colour tones and shimmering fabrics and surface areas come together to create a sumptuous IRIDESCENT interior trend. This delicate fantasy inspired look will create a subtle pop of colour in your home and provide visual contrast and texture in both modern and retro homes. From futuristic finishes to soft and elegant fabrics this look is sure to create the ‘wow factor’ in your home.

Opt for a plethora of pastel colour schemes that mimic holographic spectrums of light. Soft pastel blue, pink, peach and purple work well with soft white and create a relaxed and tranquil feel in your chosen room. Ombre effects also look fabulous in an iridescent home interior. Try selecting a starter colour such as deep blue and create a blending of colours through mid blue, pastel blue and ice blue to create a co-ordinating colour scheme with a hint of tonal variation. This look also works well with pink and purple or displayed on prism effect wallpaper with abstract diamond and geometric shapes.

Fabrics are a great way of showcasing this trend as their shimmering and colourful finishes will create a focal point in your chosen room. Opt for foil effect cushions or holographic print designs for a fun and contemporary feel that works particularly well in minimal home interiors. For a co-ordinating effect on your curtains then opt for translucent, iridescent nets or voiles that will capture the exterior light and create a glamorous illuminated finish in your room. Shag pile rugs are great for mimicking the prismatic finish of iridescent materials. Opt for metallic, synthetic fabrics in varying tones of pink, blue or purple that change in tone with the movement and depth of the pile.

Lighting is a perfect way of showcasing an iridescent interior design as the additional light source further accentuates the prismatic colours and shapes associated with the trend. Geometric shaped pendulum lights will look great with iridescent glass shades and can be hung in a single position in the centre of the room or hung in a group formation above a dining table, sofa or stairwell to create a striking and artistic focal point in your chosen room. Prism style lamp bases will create a designer look on a mirrored side table, sideboard or bedside to create a glamorous finish that will be complimented by a crisp white or pastel lamp shade.

Iridescent furniture will make a fun and eye-catching addition to any home and is sure to create a contemporary designer look in your chosen room. A glass dining table with a Prismatic glass base will take pride of place in the centre of your dining room area and can be partnered with clear Perspex or pastel plastic chairs for a striking visual style. Occasional chairs crafted from iridescent plastic will create an air of futuristic style in your chosen room and can be teamed with a mirrored dressing table or clear glass desk to accentuate the sleek and streamlined surface areas. Opt for crystal, holographic or mirrored accessories to complete your look and create a glistening focal point within your chosen room.
