  1. Red – Pulsating with energy and life

Traits: Energetic, Free spirited 

Even when used sparingly red dominates a room, catching ones eye almost effortlessly. Use combinations of neutral shades like white and grey to further highlight the red in your home interiors.

These muted palettes also exude a calm refined appeal, preventing it from seeming overbearing. This is especially important when planning palettes for bedrooms and children’s study areas so they do not appear distracting. Keeping the 60-30-10 palette colour selection in mind will help plan this better.

You may choose to use red accessories like cushions and throws in addition to wall accents.  Another great option is to have a red designer finish wall. This can alter the complete character of a room without having to redo the entire space!

Experimentation is the key to make home exteriors stand out with red. Here one can let loose a riot of colours to give your home exteriors a bright folk themed finish.

Reds for this season: Strawberry Cream 4103; Adventure 2189; Coraline 2154; Salsa Pink 4124; Wild Rose 2181; Tempo 2249; Berry Jam 2237; Kokam Red 4108; Desert Adobe2175 

  1. Blue – A paradox of vibrant calm!

Traits: Calm, Relaxing, Unexpected 

Clear blue skies are the inspiration for many an artist and serene cool blues are like a balm for the soul in summers. Whichever mood you choose to recreate in your home, blue will always be a winner. This season we recommend trying some offbeat shades of blue for a refined arty finish. Combine these with printed upholstery to complete the offbeat look.

Pale blues combined with accessories in neutral shades will highlight textures, creating calming effect.

For slightly more kitschy and layered interior décor, combine darker blues with bright prints and accessories. These rooms are simultaneously relaxing and visually interesting and suit studio apartments and spaces that double up as living and working areas.

A colour for spring, green seamlessly fits into almost any palette. Combine dark greens with bright colours like yellow for vibrant home exteriors.

Interiors may be done up with light whimsical greens and neutral palettes  to create serene harmonious zones. Vibrant sea greens and textured green walls will add a rich exhuberant appeal to living spaces.

Muted greens are an integral part of springtime colour palettes when you want to use your walls as a backdrop for floral prints and accessories. Alternately designer finish green walls can add a touch of vibrancy that minimizes the need for accessories.
