Trend Focus: Colour Pop
By Amy Kilvington
Enhance your interiors with an unexpected pop of colour. The colour pop trend works for every room in the home, from the living room, to the kitchen, to the bathroom. It does what it says on the tin, bringing a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral space.
Whether your backdrop is pure white, soft beige or a combination of grey or sandy tones, a pop of colour will lift the mood and bring more excitement and style to the room.
There are a number of ways to can bring a pop of colour into your home. You could paint a statement wall, jazz up a radiator or add colour to a shelf or bannister. Or you could make a bigger investment in a colourful piece of furniture, such as an armchair, chaise lounge or foot stool. In the window, why not paint the frame or choose a bright window treatment? One of the quickest and easiest ways to introduce a colour pop is with soft furnishings like cushions, throws and rugs, or homeware accessories such as lamps, lamp shades, vases and prints.
The key to the colour pop trend is to create a real contrast. There should be no half measures – be brave with your choices, opting for bright colours, graphic prints and interesting details. Of course, you should still be comfortable with your choices, opting for pops that lend to your tastes and inspire you.
If you’re struggling to find the pop of colour that works for you, take a look at the room’s existing colour palette. If it focuses around neutral earthy tones, could you ramp things up with a more intense shade of terracotta or mustard? Or if you’ve stuck to cool shades of grey, would a saturated blue or teal tone appeal to you? You could also go completely off piste, choosing neon shades of yellow, pink and green to offset your monochrome backdrop. The beauty of colour pop is that there are no rules – other than being bold!
