KITCHENS
SAGE GREEN LEMON YELLOW
A growing focus on personal wellbeing and environmental restoration will see soft green palettes extend far beyond the vegetable patch . Muted sage and mint greens offer a connection to the earthy and wild spaces around while creating a gentle and comforting atmosphere . If you love pastels but find candyfloss pink too girly , restorative greens are a fresh and trendy alternative .
Embrace nostalgia with a pastel green kitchen complete with terrazzo work surfaces . The antithesis of squeaky clean interiors and digital culture , pastels and terrazzo are bright , playful and full of texture .
FOREST GREEN
Forest green continues to be a popular shade for those seeking to bring the outdoors in . Deep dark greens resonate with people and communities who reconnected with nature during the pandemic . After spending months upon months indoors for the most part , it makes sense that we are now yearning for a renewed sense of connection with the natural world .
" Times are a-changing and bold and saturated colours are going to see a huge renaissance over the coming months ."
After a challenging year of uncertainty , bright yellows offer a bold and uplifting boost of colour and positivity . As we emerge from a very drawn out hibernation , cheerful yellows provide a spark of light and an optimistic promise of better times ahead . An entirely yellow kitchen is a very brave move , so it may be worth combining a block of the bold sunshine shade with a soft , neutral tone for balance .
RUBY RED
Last but certainly not least we have deep warm reds . Throughout history red has been used to symbolise power , prosperity and a hint of danger . In some cultures , the colour red is meant to bring you good fortune . Red is not commonly found in the kitchen , yet there is a huge opportunity to harness the deep crimson tones to create a confident and sophisticated space for entertaining guests .
Wayne Dance , Managing Director of InHouse Inspired Room Design , says , “ If there ' s one thing this year has taught us about interiors , it has got to be the simple reminder that the home should be our individual sanctuary , designed in line with our own personal tastes and needs . Gone are the days of blindly following trends , so expect to see more playful and bold uses of colour throughout the house in 2021 / 22 . Prepare to be unconventional .”
