Here are some colours and themes that designers around the world believe will rule the décor scenes.

 Mediterranean hues

Olive it up!

 

The one colour that made remarkable progress was olive green. Quickly becoming a more sober and very unique substitute for the traditional neutral colours, olive teamed up with a lot of different colours can be used to create varied ambiances.  Ones seeking a cheerful and lively look teamed this magic colour with yellows and oranges and varied shades of greens. Some others adopted the “landscape” theme by bringing together stone grey , olive green and shades of green livened up with a hint of brightness to create the perfect natural look , and the ones intending to create a dramatic and sophisticated look combined olive with deep reds and aubergines .It’s warm and organic nature makes it adaptable with a large range of colours and this is one colour you must experiment with this season.

 

Pastel palettes

 

Going back to the 80’s and beyond, pastel colours have been doing the rounds for a while now and boy do we love them! Baby pink, powder blue, pale yellow and the like teamed with mysterious black to create a fine , clean look or these soothing colours matched with some gorgeous wallpapers has us wanting to do up our homes in these shades already.

Gorgeous grays

Another colour that has slowly and steadily made its mark is gray. With its hues and shades acting as smart substitutes for white and black, gray is another colour that can be combined with many colours depending on the look you want to achieve. Gray in itself can be used in its different shades to create a very sophisticated and formal look. Yellows, greens and shades of orange create a lively décor theme, while gray can be used as a neutral shade with pastels too. Combining it with deep dramatic shades of blue, maroon and purple makes for a colour scheme that screams class.

 

Coffee and cream

Another classy , tried and tested combination that is a safe go to if you want to create a sophisticated look , cream teamed with shades of brown and beige creates a sober , sometimes boring (if not done right) and very Victorian colour scheme. This combination is your go to choice if you want to create that comfortable and cozy environment without introducing dramatic colour schemes.

 

Bold blends

 

With a lot of quirky knick knacks available, throwing in contrasting colours to make a fun look is a trend loved by the younger lot. Neon green with sunny yellow sobered with a hint of white, or oranges and yellows humbled with gray, bold colours are a favourite among people who do not mind a lot of colour adorning their walls and upholstery.
