Sunset Interiors

Summer is almost here! If you are anything like me you are dreaming of warm sandy beaches, cocktails and relaxing strolls through the park. This month’s hottest trend is SUNSET interiors that encapsulate the elegant pastel tones of tropical sunsets with relaxing and feminine decor that is sure to create a perfect summer setting within your home.

Opt for soft pastels and dusky tones that will create a subtle burst of colour within your chosen room, pinks and lilacs look great alongside peach and baby blue to give a delicate finish that is chic and relaxing. For an added sunset style appearance then try painting the main feature wall in an ombre style finish that will create the illusion of a summer sunset within the room. If you prefer a more bold statement then why not select a modern wall mural featuring a photographic beach sunset that will look fabulous behind a seating area, bed frame or dressing table.

Choose textiles and soft furnishings that mimic the warmth and brightness of sunset and bring together tropical, coastal and tribal prints that compliment your chosen colour scheme. Chose curtains in a block colour of orange, pink and purple or opt for a tie-dye style design that is another popular trend for 2017. Choose a selection of plain and patterned cushions featuring Aztec prints and natural fabrics or bold colourful designs featuring tropical palms and hibiscus print. For a softer finish stick with classic pastel coloured cushions and partner with a patterned pug in complementary dusky hues.

Accessories and artwork will add the finishing touch to any interior space and are a great way of including this trend in your home without the need for complete redecoration. For a warm and cosy look then opt for wooden, tribal style ornaments and accessories that will create an interesting focal point within the room. Opt for rattan style lights and lanterns that will give a globetrotting authenticity to your home. For a more soft and refined style then opt for some coastal inspired accessories such as shells, driftwood and pebbles that will create a light and relaxed feel against the colourful sunset backdrop. If you are feeling brave then embrace the tropical theme with some bright and vibrant pineapple, flamingo and palm print wall art that is sure to update a bold or neutral feature wall.

For a relaxed and laidback feel then opt for rattan or wicker furniture that will create a beachside, tropical ambience that works particularly well in living room or conservatory areas. Solid oak furniture or walnut furniture will create warmth and cosiness that will mimic the heat of the glorious summer weather.

Crisp white furniture will complement the delicate and feminine pastel colour scheme and create an illusion of space that is perfect for smaller homes and interior spaces. For a more modern take on this look then why not opt for some pastel coloured painted furniture items or statement retro seating that will create a stylish and elegant focal point in any room of the home.
