Home interior colour trends 2019

What’s big in interiors this year? Discover the colour trends of 2019, in our guide to the freshest and most fashionable shades for decorating your home.

Living Coral

Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019, Living Coral is a bold and energising hue. It’s also surprisingly versatile, lending itself equally well to home interior colour in the kitchen, bedroom or living area. A lively tone that will add a pop of optimism to any space, coral can be deployed in small doses, with hits of colour highlighting a more neutral backdrop. Alternatively, make a statement with large swathes of coral, or bright, uplifting stripes of pink and orange.

Mushroom grey

Colour trends in recent years have taken inspiration from nature, with all shades of green making a big appearance in home interiors. This year, the natural theme continues; however, the main focus for 2019 is on earthy neutrals such as mushroom grey and brown. These versatile tones are ideal for creating a relaxed atmosphere in the bedroom or lounge. Pair your woodland-inspired décor with plenty of houseplants; ferns will add an instant botanical lift.

Nightwatch Green

If you don’t want to say goodbye to green, the good news is that you can stay bang on-trend with one particular verdant shade this year. Named Colour of the Year by PPG Paints, Nightwatch Green is a sumptuous, rich, deep colour, similar to jade, that evokes timeless elegance. With a forest-like connection to nature, Nightwatch Green is on the moodier end of the spectrum, perfect for velvet drapes, and can be offset nicely with gold or brass accessories.

Timeless pinks

For 2019, the pink of the moment is a muted, subtle shade – a far cry from its bolder, brighter cousin, Millennial Pink. If you’re looking for a colour that won’t date, the timeless qualities of blush pinks will endure through the ages, offering classic good looks anywhere in the home.

Aqua

Calming sea-green or uplifting turquoise; all shades of aqua will encapsulate a positive, playful mood for 2019. This beautiful hue has it all; stylish enough to be paired with sophisticated, dark wooden furniture, but with just enough of a sense of fun to be able to pull off a light-hearted, quirky and bright look. However you style it, aqua will bring a vibrant feel to any interior.

Citrus zing

If you’re feeling fruity in 2019, then it might be time for a dramatic makeover. Shades of orange, lime, bright yellow and grapefruit pink will bring energy in abundance to any living space. Signalling fun and freshness, bright and zingy citrus tones will help your home to exude confidence and energy, inspiring you to live vivaciously in the year to come.

Creamy neutrals

Minimalism is a big theme this year, and with it comes a host of simple and stylish neutral shades, that will evoke a sense of space. Declutter your interiors and decorate your home with your choice of beige, white and cream tones. Pair your colour scheme with wave curtains or roller blinds for contemporary, minimalist chic.
