Now is the perfect time to break open the palette and colour your home a happy summer hue. The season demands tones that speak fresh flowers in bloom, cool breezes and gorgeous sunny afternoons. Make the most of summertime by cashing in on these stylish yet practical colour options that’ll give your home a quick, seasonal makeover.
Summer Decor: Marigold Yellow
How can one think of summer and not think of yellow? The bright, happy colour can revamp any room with a splash of sunshine. Creating a sense of warmth and coziness, the popular colour is a favourite during the hot months. Think glasses of lemonade, vases filled with marigold and daffodils, and rooms that appear lively. Marigold yellow works great for a hacienda-style home. And since yellow pairs great with both lighter and darker tones, the colour balances a room, making it look cheerful and energetic.
Summer Decor: Coral
Vibrant yet mellow, a muted coral is the perfect shade to introduce into any space in your home. The psychology of colours states that orange and peach shades evoke creative energies. Known to promote playful expression and optimism, coral can also be used to change the mood of a home, and can be brought in via accent pillows, rugs or throws. Paired with dark furniture or accents of marble, this colour can pop up and enhance any room into a timeless, sophisticated space.
Summer Decor: Sky Blue
A gorgeous, cool colour for your interiors is sky blue. Whether on the walls or as an accent colour for furniture, the colour gives a very summery, fun vibe to the whole interior. A pale blue décor can be incorporated via wall tiles, sinks, chairs or vanities for a refreshing upgrade. Paired with grey, white or black, for a sophisticated look or bolder colours like mustard or green, this colour can complement graphic wall art and add a touch of styles ranging from modern to minimalism.
Summer Decor: Light Turquoise
Associated with Caribbean waters and Tiffany boxes, a light turquoise interior can have the most calming and soothing effect in any room. This unique colour can be used to break the predictability of any room. Accessorise with rugs or window covers or even curtains and chairs to give any room a unique and vibrant feel. The versatile colour can create any theme from vintage to chic beach-inspired homes.
Summer Decor: Beige
A sweep of beige paired with rustic accents can add a touch of modern whimsy to any room. Give a unique spin to the traditional colour by pairing it with a hint of red so the overall feel doesn’t look too bold. Almost anything and everything goes with yellow—from coral to ocean blue. Beige walls can be juxtaposed with stronger accents like colourful throw pillows, or graphic wall art to create the perfect combo.
