It may not feel much like Summer with all the rain and cold windy days we have had so far this year but that doesn’t mean we can’t give our homes a refresh for each season. Adding just a taste of promised sunshine to your interiors can brighten your day and provide an instant mood-lifter. Lovely sunny yellows are a summer favourite and will create a wonderful warm citrus theme, yellows can vary from soft creamy shades up to full-on exuberant sunflower shades. As a lovely reminder of the sunshine, use yellows to transform any room and brighten any day.
Bold zesty orange colours are for the braver decorator, but stay with the brighter orange shades for a summer feel as opposed to the darker orange tones which are more of an autumnal colourway. Surprisingly, orange is a more versatile colour than you may usually think and works beautifully for a mood-lifting tropical tone.
In the same lovely summer colour spectrum are the pretty pinks, which instantly add a summer shot to your home. Inject pink into your interior with delicate florals across a pastel palette or add it to your walls for a romantic soft backdrop.
Blues is a colour which may not be the first shade to come to mind for summer, but clear beautiful blue skies absolutely embody Summer. Add lighter softer blue shades to help keep cool and relaxed in hot rooms and layer light blue tones and with soft duck-egg blues for a sense of tranquillity and serenity year-round.
The final colour spectrum to consider for a taste of summer is the wide variety of gorgeous greens – from lovely vibrant tropical greens for an indulgent statement, through to soft peppermints. Green is a nature inspired outdoors colour, that can evoke the smell of freshly mown grass and sunbaked days filled with family picnics.
