Primary colours

There’s a time and a place for elegant neutrals and pared back interior shades. It is not this week, however.

Unapologetically, we’re opting for bold décor delights that will make a statement and use only the primary colours for an impact. Minimalism, who? This trend is all about vibrant red, sunshine yellow and electric blues taking centre stage, proving that the first three colours you learn – and the ones which make all of the other tones – are every bit as modern and refreshing as the latest pantone or a particular furniture shape. Be it through wallpaper, paint or décor, these dopamine-inducing interior options suggest confidence and creativity.

Equally, for those who yearn for a more nostalgic design palette, these beauties fit in well, offering joy and bold design. OK, maybe it feels as though you’ve been given a paintbrush and the paintbox in nursery school but the pleasure and happiness that some of these items bring is enough for us to celebrate this trend as one to watch.
