Embracing the rich, saturated colour trend: A designer’s dream for unique spaces
Move over neutrals—bold, rich, and saturated colours are stealing the spotlight in designer homes! From walls to trims, cabinetry to couches, and even carpets and lighting, this vibrant trend is transforming interiors with its unparalleled ability to add character and uniqueness.
Here’s why this bold approach is capturing hearts and how you can embrace it in your space.
Why rich colours work
Rich, saturated colours bring depth, drama, and personality to any room. They can make spaces feel cosy and intimate or luxurious and opulent, depending on the palette and how the colours are applied. Unlike muted tones, saturated colours draw attention and evoke emotions, turning your home into a gallery of self-expression.
Where to use saturated colours
- Walls: Forget plain white walls! Deep hues like Aloe, Cosmos, and Burnt Brick create a stunning backdrop that elevates your interiors. Pair them with contrasting lighter tones or metallic accents for balance.
- Cabinetry: Kitchen and bathroom cabinetry in bold colours like Cosmos, Windsor green, or even matte black is a statement-making choice that adds sophistication and a touch of modernity.
- Trims: Painting trims in a darker or contrasting saturated colour can add architectural interest and depth to a room, making it feel more polished and intentional.
Tips for incorporating saturated colours
- Start small: If you’re new to bold colours, try incorporating them in smaller areas or with accessories. A vibrant rug or bold throw pillows can add colour without overwhelming the space.
- Layer and balance: Pair rich colours with neutral or lighter tones to avoid making the space feel too heavy. This layering adds dimension and keeps the look sophisticated
- Consider lighting: Natural and artificial lighting can affect how colours appear. Test your chosen hues in different lights to ensure they achieve the desired effect.
- Coordinate finishes: Mix textures and finishes to complement the richness of the colours. Glossy, matte, or metallic elements can add complexity and elegance.
There’s something magical about how rich colours can instantly transform a space. They tell a story, reflect individuality, and make your home feel alive. Unlike fleeting trends, the use of bold colours feels timeless, with endless opportunities for personalisation.
In a world where many spaces look alike, bold, saturated colours give you the chance to stand out. So go ahead, be brave, be bold, and let your home wear its colours with pride!
Happy painting!
