DIAL UP THE COLOUR WHEEL – DIAL UP THE FEEL GOOD
2021 / 22 Kitchens Are Bursting With Bright Colour
Bright colours evoke a sense of vibrance , energy and positivity . With a growing interest in connecting to nature , health , wellbeing , and positive change , bright and cheerful tones are bursting into every area of the home . Could this be the end of the all white , all natural Instagram aesthetic ? Well , times are a-changing and bold and saturated colours are going to see a huge renaissance over the coming months .
As society encounters new and difficult challenges over the next few years , there will be an increasing demand for organic yet bright and colourful tones that provide stability and optimism . This prediction is supported by a recent report from the Pantone Colour Institute containing ten colours that we should expect to see on the runway and in the home . The palette is bold , playful , fruity and fresh , offering a much needed burst of energy and joy .
OCEAN BLUES
Verdigris sits comfortably between green and blue . With tones baring a striking resemblance to the Atlantic Ocean , it has the ability to give interiors an organic and earthy feel whilst remaining contemporary and bold . With wild swimming , rewilding , and outdoorsy lifestyles gaining increasing popularity , it won ' t be long before homes and interiors offer equally refreshing outlooks .
“ Verdigris blues play on the luxury of escapism , offering a vision of tranquility and leisure ” says Wayne Dance , Managing Director at InHouse Inspired Room Design . “ Marine and teal hues are classic trans-seasonal colours that help the home feel warm and inviting all year round . Up the ante by matching your kitchen with co-ordinating cushions , tableware and furniture .”
