And what shades you should get rid of now.
Designers keep their finger on the pulse: when it comes to home furnishings, fashion changes even faster than seasonal trends in clothes and shoes. And if quite recently Scandinavian minimalism was in trend, occasionally diluted with contrasting accents, now, in the era of a protracted pandemic, everything has changed.
As the expert on renovation and interior design Cherry Barber said, now the trend is the most natural colors that will remind of beaches, sea, mountains, natural landscapes. The most relevant shades:
Pale pink
Terracotta
Sand
Cream
Sage
Pale blue
Apricot
“These colors really add coziness, instill peace, relieve anxiety,” adds Cherry.
But the bright colors were in disgrace. Sunny yellow, bright red, other bold colors – the designer recommends getting rid of all of them.
Touched mod and textures. Natural wood, stone, metal, and not chrome-plated surfaces, but brass, are now becoming leaders in relevance. This trend will continue next year, finally displacing polished surfaces from fashion catalogs, everything that looks unnatural and synthetic.
However, such a fashion does not mean that the entire interior should be kept in faded colors. Bold accents can still be used, but not in large shapes like walls or furniture. These can be vases, paintings, decorative partitions.
“We underestimate the effect of color on our mood, but in vain. For example, orange in the bedroom will prevent you from sleeping well, and red in the kitchen will make you overeat, says the expert. – When changing the interior, you should always remember that fashion is fleeting. Apricot will probably lose its relevance after three or four years, but cream and white are options for centuries. “
By the way, another color that has not lost its relevance for the third year already is terracotta. He became mega-popular in 2019 and still does not give up positions.
