Add some sparkle and colour to your home in 2017 with a fabulous JEWELLED INTERIOR design. A mix and match of gemstone inspired colour palettes and shimmering textural fabrics will create a rich and opulent feel in your interior space. This look gives an exotic ambiance to your chosen room with its pops of colour and glamorous embellishments that give a visual focal point on your walls, floors and soft furnishings.
Opt for jewel inspired colour tones such as emerald, turquoise, sapphire, lapis and amethyst that will can be complimented with crisp white, dusky grey and navy blue for a chic designer finish. You can mix and match these colours across your walls and accessories or stick to a single bold colour with a tonal background for a more sleek and sophisticated finish. If your are opting for wallpaper then why not select a single colour textural design with a satin, metallic or glitter finish for a pop of glamour. Alternatively select an eastern, Moroccan inspired pattern or a peacock feather print design with hints of gold and silver for a striking visual finish.
You can also use this colour palette to update your soft furnishings to create zoned areas of colour within your chosen room. Shimmering satin works wonderfully in a jewelled home interior and can be used to create an illuminating and vibrant feel in your home. Opt for emerald, amethyst or turquoise satin curtains that can be accentuated with silver or gold tie backs for an opulent, period inspired design. Add a scattering of cushions in satin, crushed velvet and sequined designs featuring tassels, embroidery or diamantes for a burst of sparkle and glamour. Add a large shag pile rug in two tone jewelled colours with accents of metallic that will create a focal point in the centre of the room.
Coloured glass accessories will compliment the shimmering gem like qualities of this interior design and can be displayed across the home to create areas of colour and illumination. Blue, purple and green glass vases, candle holders and ornaments will look great against a crisp white interior backdrop to create a bright and vibrant feel in your room. Mirrored picture and photo frames, candelabras and vases will create a shimmering feature against a bold jewelled background while a selection of jewel tones crockery will create an exotic and colourful dinner setting for a celebratory meal with friends and family.
Painted furniture is still as popular as ever and this interior trend provides the perfect opportunity to up-cycle some of your old or tired furniture items with a lick of colour and shimmer. Paint a statement furniture item such as a dining table, coffee table, chest of drawers or wardrobe in a bold jewelled paint tone in a soft dusky matt or shimmering metallic shade that will look wonderful against a neutral panted backdrop. You could also add some decoupage to your drawer and door fronts or table tops with some metallic wallpaper or napkins and finish your items with some crystal pumpkin handles for the ultimate in style and opulence.
