These days you can’t open an interiors magazine without seeing a plush sofa, with luxurious velvet materials providing a touch of glamour to living and reception spaces galore. For a classic look, stick to neutral shades of grey and blush or for a more modern take on the trend, look to petrol blue and garden green colour palettes.
#Blueinteriors mentioned 37,100 times
After Dulux named its colour of the year 2022 as Bright Skies, it comes as no surprise that blue is making a serious home interiors comeback, with “Blue interiors” hashtagged just over 18,000 on Instagram alone. Inspired by the morning sky, blue is a seriously versatile shade that can be used to create inviting and welcoming spaces with a creative twist. Blue is subtle enough to be downplayed, or bold enough to be striking depending on the style you’re after; the more relaxed shades are a perfect substitute for often overused grey.
