I have just arrived back from a fun, yet massively intense few days in Germany, attending
Reflecting Nature
There’s no denying the climate is changing at an alarming rate and we need to act, fast. Sustainability will continue to be a key focus in 2019 (thankfully!). This could be why we’re looking to the 1970’s for inspiration (it’s the decade in which ‘Earth day’ was. born and homes were awash with earthy brown, rust, beige, harvest gold and greens. Yep, the trend colours for 2019 are all about nature and climate change – from rust (symbolising decay), terracotta (meaning ‘baked earth’), harvest gold (to reflect the sun), green (plants), and teal / blue (the oceans). Nature also has a calming effect on our soul. In a world where we feel permanently connected and more than a little stressed, these gentle, earthy tones will help turn our home into a temple: creating a calm sanctuary in which to unwind.
Rust
Out of all the brown tones, rust seemed to be a firm favourite this year – it was everywhere at the fair – from velvet sofas and armchairs to table lamps and book shelves – this tone has hit the big time!
A touch of orange
As a throw-back to the 70’s era, orange will most certainly pop up here and there. I have to say I’ve never been a fan, but when I see it in combination with rust and mustard yellow I could well be swayed, how about you?!
In the pink
Every revival has a modern twist – and the dusty rose / dirty pink accent will continue to provide a pretty touch to interiors. As we’ve seen, it fits beautifully with the earthy browns – but also helps to soften the look. Go all out with a subtle tone on tone and you’ll be bang on trend!
Feel the Teal
A new addition to the look, teal offers a fresh, spa-like feeling and helps to create a space where we can breathe thanks to it’s gentle, nurturing tone.
Finally, if you’re feeling bold – you could throw in an electric blue. As mentioned in
What do you think? Are there any accents you’re thinking of adding to your home. this year? Any shades you think will be big? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
