It\u2019s that time of year again!\nAutumn is when I start to look at the predicted trends for the next year and\npick out a few of my favourites. Today we\u2019re looking at colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, we\u2019re shifting from cool\ntones, like grey, white and blush pink to richer, earthier hues. There\u2019s a\ndefinite move towards colour palettes inspired by nature, as well as lots of\nvibrant accents to brighten homes and work spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior design trends are often\ninfluenced by what\u2019s going on in the wider world, so as well as natural\ncolours, there appears to be a stronger demand for eco friendly paints. And we\ncan\u2019t ignore that a lot of the trending colours are really cheerful; a direct\ncontrast to the political atmosphere at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But enough chatter, let\u2019s get to\nthe good stuff! Here are five I think are likely to be popular next year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neo Mint                                                    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Verditer paint by\nLittle Greene<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neo-mint is a fresh take on a classic pastel hue. It\u2019s\npunchy, rich and retro \u2013 a really fun accent colour for living rooms, kitchens\nand bathrooms. Neo-mint is Tranquil\nDawn\u2019s<\/a> striking younger sister and it pairs especially well with the next\ncolour on this list…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrol Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Blue\nDanube paint by Benjamin Moore<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think inky petrol blues will be everywhere next year;\nvarying from light, washed out shades to a deeper naval tones. Petrol blue is\nclassy, sophisticated and very versatile. You can pair it with neo-mint for a\nretro inspired space, or with dusky pink for a warm, contemporary vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dusky Pink<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Crimson Red\nfrom Farrow & Ball\u2019s Colour by Nature Palette<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink is showing no signs of waning in popularity, but it\u2019s\ngraduated from barely-there blush to this in-your-face dusky pink. Personally,\nI much prefer this tone which has much more depth and warmth than blush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zingy Yellow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Citrus Zing by\nDulux<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vibrant yellow is the perfect accent colour. It\u2019s fresh\nand cheerful but not too bright. Paint doors, furniture, picture rails or\nwindow frames in this sprightly hue for just the right amount of zing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost Black<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Beyond\nBlue by Paint and Paper Library<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love black but feel it\u2019s a bit overwhelming in the\nhome, try an almost-black like the Beyond Blue pictured above. It contains blue\npigments to tone down the harshness of black but still manages to create the drama\nof a dark interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think? Will you be choosing any of these paint\ncolours next year or do you have your own predictions for 2020 colour trends? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
