Trending colour palette for 2018

Forest green 

One of the coming year’s featured colours is forest green. A timeless colour, natural green is emblematic of authenticity and spirituality and draws its energy and inspiration from nature; it also comes in a seemingly endless range of hues. In 2018, dark green and its tastefully chic features will be paired with light colours such as white, fir green, blue and even pink. Simply paint a few walls dark green and soften the mood by applying one of these lighter colours on an adjacent wall. The contrasting wall colours will enhance and complement each other. Make a strategic colour choice for your wall colour, depending on the type of room, its design and the effect you want to create.

Copper is the perfect match for dark green, so it’s a great option when it comes to choosing your light fixtures and decorative objects. But copper isn’t the only thing that shines in an interior that boasts a forest green colour theme. Wood, gold, bronze and silver accents also make a bold visual impact. Green is so versatile that it can take on any style from traditional to rustic!

Curry yellow

This old-fashioned colour is reminiscent of ornaments and decorations of the past. Now updated and available in many shades, curry yellow is considered a must-have in the latest décors. This colour is sometimes identified with traditional interiors, but, in fact, it’s anything but traditional! Curry yellow is also completely in line with the cocooning spirit and creates happy, bright interiors that warm up your décor with panache. If you’re looking to brighten up a room, curry yellow is just the ticket. Combine this energizing hue with more soothing colours to lend balance to your décor. It will make your décor shine whether it’s very simple or more eclectic.

Curry yellow will not disappoint. It’s the ideal choice for decorative elements, carpets or wall colour. Curry yellow hues are even featured on velvet fabrics, which are making a comeback in 2018. Keep your eye on this trend! If you want to pair this shade of yellow with another colour, note that cobalt blue, khaki green, purple and white are the most suitable choices. In 2018, it’s time to be bold and daring when it comes to colour!

Other great pairings with curry yellow are bronze, gold, silver or wood elements, depending on the style you’re looking to create. These metallic colours also work well for decorative objects.

What’s old is new again: Opt for antique pink

This old-fashioned pink shade blends in well with most contemporary and transitional décors since it lends a refreshing old-yet-new look. This shade of pink aspires to purity when it comes to more refined décors and simplicity in busier décors. In short, it provides a visual balance to most interior designs. Thanks to its soothing properties, antique pink is an excellent antidote for the pressures of daily life. Moreover, it also matches a host of colours. For example, it pairs very well with colours such as white (and looks particularly divine with creamy white), green and blue. Carefully choose one of these “friendly” shades to find the perfect match for this high-profile pink! See how complementary the colours of the 2018 palette are?

And yes, velvet furnishings are available in antique pink, too!

Antique pink matches with everything! It works with rustic, contemporary or farmhouse styles and can also be integrated into a more traditional décor. 

Choose to decorate your room with white, cream, black, silver, copper, bronze, gold or wood light fixtures. All metallic colours and materials are wonderful matches for this hue of pink.

Terracotta décor and layouts

And now, let’s turn to warm, earthy terracotta colours. These shades, inspired by red ocher, the brickwork of European houses and subtle Bordeaux and Marsalas, lend a dash of exoticism and brighten up any décor! Earthy terracotta hues also stimulate, motivate and boost creativity and shine when paired with raw materials such as wood and marble. If you want to use terracotta with another colour to break up space in a room, choose a creamy white, a blue or even a red, if you’re feeling particularly daring! While it makes for a bold mix, when well dosed and thought out, the result exudes the exotic cachet of foreign lands.

When it comes to light fixtures and even furniture, adding wicker or rattan to the terracotta formula is a surefire bet. But many other compatibilities exists. You could also choose a bronze, white, copper, black, silver or wood light fixture, for instance. Here too, you are spoilt for choice! Terracotta’s earthy tones offer the perfect backdrop for an ethnic chic style brimming with textures, colours and patterns that will call to mind a trip around the world. Terracotta also looks great with more rustic or contemporary styles.

Cobalt blue

Cobalt blue made a notable sortie in 2017, and its azure hues shone brightly in many homes. This year, it again makes an appearance, only in a slightly darker hue. This blue creates a mood that’s both modern and traditional and will add a touch of zen to your room, whether it’s used on the walls or as an accessory or decorative element. Cobalt blue pairs well with a range of subtle, classic and timeless colours well-known for creating a comfortable and soothing ambience, such as white, creamy white and grey, which are offered in a broad palette of hues. To create warm, sophisticated colour matches, go for purple, green or even orange.

Blue has many virtues. Above all, it’s a relaxing colour that promotes physical and mental relaxation and also provides a sense of safety and confidence. According to some colour therapy theories, blue can be used to activate healing, relieve pain and even lower blood pressure. Depending on a room’s function, various hues of blue can create relaxing, inspiring and communication-friendly environments.

Pair cobalt blue with bronze, copper, silver, white and, of course, wood light fixtures. You can also integrate these metals and materials in your decorative elements and accessories.

Spirit-soothing plum colours

After several years’ absence, plum is making a strong comeback in a darker, more mysterious and chic shade that has nothing to do with the lilac or old-fashioned parma violet found on lacquered decorative elements of the early 2000s. Plum returns in a more refined version and darker hues that can be paired with grey or white on the wall of a room. If you want to create a theatrical ambience that’s both refreshing and creative, yellow is the perfect colour pairing for plum.

Plum stimulates and embodies balance and soothes the mind. It also has sensual and spiritual attributes. And, if that weren’t enough, plum is also a royal colour that represents subtlety, mystery, protection and luxury.

Plum’s ideal metal ally is brass, though copper, bronze, white, black and silver can be just as attractive. These metals can also be used in light fixtures or as complementary decorative elements.

Velvet is making a comeback in 2018, and it will be especially appealing in shades of plum together with brass accents.

Moreover, in keeping with 2018’s trends, plum shades look fetching on footrests or velvet armchairs alike.

Paint a wall black. Go for it!

For a long time, black wasn’t used in interior design. Today, however, it’s used more and more on walls in homes. It’s often paired with a light colour on adjacent walls to tone down the dramatic visual impact of the black. One of black’s main features is that it highlights colours and textures that are nearby. It also symbolizes sophistication, elegance and mystery. Despite popular misconceptions, black is suitable for all the rooms in the house. Just choose the wall or walls to be painted black carefully and according to the room’s purpose. Black’s greatest ally is white, for obvious reasons! Together, they create an unbeatable contrast and a graphic style that can adapt to all interior décors. This opposites-attract duo is complementary and, as such, will create interest and render a room more harmonious. Black goes well with contemporary, zen or baroque interior design.

Since it’s neutral, black is compatible with any paint colour. For a very electric style, dare to juxtapose black, white and yellow strategically on your walls to create a balanced, consistent look. Or, flip this idea on its head, and make the most of black’s neutral nature by turning up the colour dial with vibrant decorative elements, frames, carpets and so forth. Set your imagination free, and make the most of the possibilities!

Against a black backdrop, you can use silver, white, copper or brass light fixtures. A wood light fixture can, as always, add charm and lend a more rustic and natural look to black.

Metal shades are also suitable for decorative elements wherever black reigns supreme.

Metallic colours

For the next year, count on seeing textures and colours in various shades! The rise of metallic colours is a new trend for 2018 that is sure to brighten up your walls. Metallic colours contain aluminum pigment that makes them a vibrant and stylish characteristic capable of diffusing light. If metallic paint is used on all the walls of a room, it must be counterbalanced with more conservative and neutral decorative elements to avoid an overloaded look. Interior designers are currently using metallic pink and grey shades, and these shades will be more and more present in 2018. The look metallic paint can create on a given wall in a room is a must-have for the coming year.

When it comes to pink shades, choose decorative elements and light fixtures made of copper, brass or silver for a must-have metallic contrast. Or, opt for black or white if you prefer a more neutral effect.

Silver shades pair well with most metallic colours. However, avoid those that have a similar hue such as chrome, nickel or brushed silver.

In 2018, the spotlight will also shine on metallic gold. However, don’t pair metals such as brass and antique brass. Avoid the monotony of tone-on-tone at all costs!

Instead, go for a pewter, chrome or brushed silver fixture, pairings formerly frowned upon. Dare to embrace contrasts by playing with colour contrasts! For a more neutral effect, wood, black and white fixtures can add a very chic finishing touch!
