What will your colour style be for the coming year?
Thinking of taking the next step on the path towards freshening up your home? Unsure where to start? Let us introduce you to THE new colour of the forth-coming year that is going to have a huge impact on interiors – Very Peri.
The “newness” that this blue, with red undertones, signifies should provide all the style inspiration that you will need to adorn any room. Whether this is through an accent colour using a variety of accessories, or a bespoke sofa that is unique to your living room, is entirely up to you! With so much choice it can be difficult to know where to start but we have collated some ideas that will hopefully inspire you to get creative.
Exploring Very Peri Colour Palettes
Colour is ultimately used to express emotions and inspire, and is a powerful visual tool to be tapped into and to influence a mood. Very Peri will fit into a dynamic and flexible colour scheme to use as you wish. Ease, comfort and respite are key qualities to conveying enduring sophistication.
Balancing Act -
The colour palette “Balancing Act” is a complementing balance of warm and cool tones which can help to inject a feeling of liveliness and visual vibration into your home.
Explore colour harmonies together such as Burnished Lilac and Lotus with Dried Moss to create an office space which is calming yet focussed.
Or you can pop a colour such as Granite Green or Hawthorn Rose in artwork or ornamental pieces for your living room.
The Star of the Show -
Colours such as Petrified Oak and Volcanic Glass afford an elegance and stylishness that will quietly inspire such a strong colour.
A statement sofa or bedframe in Very Peri would complement a backdrop of muted colours ranging from Anthracite all the way through to White Sand.
You will be able to return to these elements again and again, or review furniture choices until you are confident that every aspect is appropriate for you.
Amusements -
To intensify the vividness of energetic infusion of colour, Pink Flambe, Fuchsia Pink and Cornsilk make an ideal accompaniment to create a release of colour that would energise any room.
Accessories, including lights, clocks and prints, are ideal pieces to bring in such vibrant colours as Tourmaline that will co-ordinate with the freshness of Very Peri.
Wellspring -
Natural-inspired patterns and tints provide so much scope to encourage you to try an idea and allow it to grow, blending nature and holistic influences.
Cushions, throws and ornamental pieces in Eggshell Blue and Foliage are excellent methods to introduce such strong colour into your home.
Faux plants in nourishing shades such as Greenbriar and Treetop, bring an aspect of the natural world into an indoor environment.
Accents
The easiest, and most cost effective, way of introducing any new colour into a room is through using accessories. Sometimes purchasing a large item of furniture is daunting but adding incremental pieces can be an ideal way to start the journey. The use of just one stand-alone ornamental item can used as a focal point or a plethora of embellishments can add the perfect finishing touch to a design scheme.
Artwork, with even just a hint of the Very Peri, will be sure to stand the test of time and provide an accent colour that can be used as the vision for the remainder of the room or to liven up a neutral palette. Whether contrasting or co-ordinating with other aspects such as feature walls, bold colours can be highlighted or offset according to your own personal choice.
Wall art, including mirrors and clocks, can also introduce period elements to a room that would not usually be associated with using such a contemporary colour as Very Peri. Opulent and reflective, even such small details as frames can carry through the theme that you are aspiring to.
Soft furnishings such as throws, cushions and rugs provide the opportunity to complement, while at the same time introducing texture and shade which can play an important role. Natural fibre cushions and rugs showcase beautiful textures and warming colours. Decorative faux plants and foliage in corresponding shades and hues add the finishing touches to a room setting.
Lighting is another important way of introducing a soft, soothing ambiance to any room, especially a bedroom. Ceiling lights and table lamps both give the opportunity to create an atmosphere that is both comfortable and relaxing and highlighting the warmness of colour. Layered lighting will enable you to control the intensity of the brightness, whether you have a wealth of natural light or not.
Audacious, Solid Colours
Using colour is an excellent way of expressing new ideas, adding warmth and versatility to your living space. Solid colours can be utilised either on the walls with neutral furniture or vice versa. Using such bold colours is a brilliant way to be adventurous and make a statement in your living room by enhancing a bright, vibrant Very Peri sofa against harmonised walls and flooring that will bring the colour together.
This is such a versatile colour that your living room or dining room can be
• cosy and bold
• contemporary
• calming
• opulent
• minimalistic
• traditional with a modern twist
• chic
The possibilities open to you are almost endless.
Statement furniture can be the main focus with hints of pattern in items such as cushions to break up solid colour. Sumptuous upholstery, both leather and fabric, can also be enhanced by using with ornamental side and console tables which can help create an overall feeling of contemporary chic.
Other small details such as the finishes of legs, whether wood or metal, studs, stitching, buttoned, scatter or standard back can all enrich the impact that a new piece of furniture or look can provide for your home. Bespoke furniture enables you to choose every aspect from the colour, to the dimensions, to the shape and comfort.
Neutral coloured seating with sleek and uncomplicated lines can work with a brighter, bolder wall in Very Peri and artwork that can reflect the predominant colours used elsewhere in the living or dining room. Use of limited colours can pull different elements together that you would not usually think of putting together.
Adding further touches such as highly textured or geometric patterned rugs will make a living room or bedroom more colourful and interesting. Wooden flooring can add to the warm feeling of the room and, if the right colour, can lift the whole room. Alternatively, if you prefer carpet, a grey colour would be the perfect base for stunning furniture.
For Something a Bit Different
Although traditionally blues are not regarded as colours that are used in bedrooms, the red connotations of Very Peri mean it can be used to create a cosy and inviting environment. A bedroom should, after all, be your sanctuary where you can relax and enjoy downtime.
An abundance of methods of adorning your sleeping space with rich cushions and throws is an ideal way of mixing and matching colours and textures, making your bedroom that much more inviting. A splash of Very Peri will instantly liven up a neutral coloured item and a daring accent colour can be subtly echoed in a multitude of additional decorative pieces.
The discernible way to introduce a new colour would be through luxurious velvets and fabrics on divan and ottoman beds or headboards. Varying designs and sizes will mean that you will be sure to find the look that you are aiming for, or even one that you had not thought of before.
Sofa beds, tub and accent chairs are another avenue of introducing a new design genre to your room. These can also be complemented by bedroom furniture such as mirrored wardrobes, chests and dressing tables whichever style is your choice.
