Sherbet Chintz

The summer season is all about fresh and bright colour schemes that will create a light and cheerful ambiance within your home. Alongside these elegant colours have come a retro and rather shabby chic inspired look that can create a feminine feel in any room of the home. SHERBET CHINTZ is this season's favourite interior trend and brings together these sumptuous mouth watering colours along with fun and pretty patterns and accessories that will create an eye catching finish within your interior space.

When selecting a colour palette for your sherbet inspired interior design opt for elegant pastel tones such as pinks, blues and mint and place alongside zesty hues such as lemon and lime. These can be combined with simple crisp white for a clean and classic finish or can be mixed and matched with soft grey, cream or even bold neon colours for a more modern take on this interior design. Team your colour palette with a chintzy wallpaper featuring bold floral patterns or vintage retro geometric shapes that will create a focal point on a main feature wall, chimney breast or alcove area. This look is all about creating a feminine and pretty space so make sure that whatever wallpaper you choose embodies a delicate and classic interior look.

Florals are the perfect addition to this interior design and perfectly incorporate sherbet colour palettes and chintzy designs. A set of simple floral curtains featuring classic patterns such as roses, hydrangea and poppies will look wonderful against plain painted feature wall and can be coordinated with some floral cushions that can be scattered along a sofa or bed. You can also include some polka dot patterned cushions in amongst the florals to break up the pattern and create a visual focal point within the room. A bold floral rug will update a plain carpet or wooden floor and can be partnered with some floral upholstered seats, sofas or a chaise lounge for a chic French chateau inspired design.

Simple white painted furniture will look wonderful within this interior look and will break up the use of colour within the room. Opt for rustic cottage style designs or carved French styles that will add some elegance to your chosen room. A more modern chintzy look can be achieved with some grey or cream painted furniture which will create cosiness and warmth within your interior space. Include vintage ceiling lights and lampshades featuring floral patterned fabric and beads or tassels for that classic retro inspired look. Add some chintzy ornaments that can be displayed on a sideboard, windowsill, mantelpiece or a traditional dresser that will create a focal point against a wallpapered or plain feature wall. With this look make sure you mix and match patterns prints and finishes to create a visual feast of colour and pattern.
