How to Infuse Luxury with Colour?
Top trendy colours for home décor this year
Dear Luxury Lover,
Colours play a vital role in defining the ambiance and character of any interior space. In the year 2024, interior design trends are set to embrace a range of captivating colours that can transform your home into a luxurious sanctuary. Let's explore the top colours trending in 2024 and why they are an excellent choice for infusing luxury into your life.
In the previous blog on projected interior trends for 2024 we discussed popular interior design colour palettes of both bold and vibrant colours and also earthy tones, especially browns. What is common for both trends, is the fact that the designers see monochromatic interiors with the use of both more calming and vibrant colours. Embracing a single colour or a harmonious palette throughout a space creates a sense of cohesion, simplicity, and understated elegance. In a monochromatic interior, the focus shifts from colour variation to texture, pattern, and layering. By incorporating different materials and finishes in similar tones, such as matte and glossy surfaces or rough and smooth textures, you can create depth and interest within a cohesive colour scheme. Let’s dive in!
Bold and Vibrant Colours
Royal Purple
The colour purple, particularly rich and regal shades such as amethyst or deep plum, is making a strong comeback in 2024. Purple exudes opulence, sophistication, and a sense of royalty. Incorporating this colour into your interiors, whether through statement furniture pieces, accent walls, or décor accents, instantly elevates the space and adds a touch of extravagance.
Luxury Gold
Gold has always been associated with luxury and grandeur, and in 2024, it continues to reign supreme. This lustrous hue can be introduced through metallic finishes, decorative accessories, or even in wall paint. Gold accents have the power to make any space feel instantly more glamorous and sophisticated, adding a refined touch of luxury to your home.
Classic Navy Blue
Navy blue is a timeless and versatile colour that is gaining popularity in interior design for 2024. It exudes elegance, depth, and a sense of calmness. Whether used as a primary colour for walls or as an accent through furniture or accessories, navy blue provides a luxurious backdrop while seamlessly blending with a variety of styles and colour schemes.
Serene Sage Green
Sage green is a soothing and sophisticated colour that brings an element of serenity and nature indoors. In 2024, this subtle hue is expected to take the center stage as homeowners seek to create peaceful and organic environments. Pairing sage green with brass or gold accents adds a touch of luxury and refinement to your space, while its versatility complements both modern and traditional aesthetics.
Refined Terracotta
Brown and earthy tones, such as warm terracotta, caramel, and sandy beige, will take center stage in creating serene and soothing environments. These colours evoke a connection with nature and bring a sense of comfort and grounding to your space. Pairing earthy tones with natural textures like wood, jute, or rattan further enhances the calming ambiance.
Terracotta, with its warm earthy tones, invites a cosy, natural feel into any space. Terracotta can be incorporated through wall paint, tiles, or even in furniture and décor accessories. It seamlessly combines rustic charm with a luxurious touch, effortlessly creating an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere.
Grey’s Anatomy
One of the key colours in this monochromatic trend is a cool grey. Cool greys, with their undertones of blue or green, bring a modern and contemporary feel to a space. These shades, like Behr's "Cracked Pepper," provide a sophisticated backdrop that effortlessly complements a variety of design aesthetics. The versatility of cool grey allows you to create a calming and serene environment or a sleek and minimalist ambiance, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a monochromatic palette.
Pairing cool greys with complementary accents such as brushed metals, textured fabrics, and natural elements adds depth and visual interest to the overall design. The combination of cool greys with warm wood tones creates a harmonious balance and adds a touch of warmth to the space.
Behr's "Cracked Pepper" color, in particular, is a deep, rich grey that adds depth and refinement to any room. It is a perfect choice for someone who wants to create a monochromatic interior with a modern edge. The "Cracked Pepper" shade by Behr adds a sense of sophistication and elegance, while its deep hue brings depth and visual interest to the space.
