How to create the look: Dare to be creative and experiment with different colour combinations. For a look that mimics nature, pair smoky lilac with a pale, washed-out turquoise blue or tend towards the brighter end of the spectrum and combine sherbet lemon with mint green. Bring in a pop of colour in a brighter hue, If you would like to add more depth to your colour combinations.

Bold, vibrant colours, whimsical patterns, and playful wall elements are taking the spotlight. This trend is immensely appealing because it taps into the human desire for joy and positivity, making every day feel like a celebration. These vivacious shades will inject an unapologetic sense of fun and energy into interiors, creating spaces that radiate positivity. For example, if your pastel colour scheme is chalky blue and buttery yellow, you could add a sofa in a dark blue hue with cushions in a brighter blue, like ultramarine, to match. Or add a dash of black – nothing grounds a room like a hint of charcoal or ebony.
