More than a Splash of Colour

Garden Room

This article from last week’s Telegraph sparked excitement about a new trend for more than just a ‘splash’ of colour in the home: “now it’s time to embrace the full spectrum, designers are currently looking at life through a happy, trippy rainbow lens. From chromatic designs that layer hues like photographic filter paper to iridescent finishes that morph and refract like floating bubbles in the sky, this bold, multi-hued aesthetic is the latest in interior fashion.”

Here are a few colour-inspired ideas that you’ll want to use in your home this summer.

Irresistibly iridescent

Elemental glassware and lamps can be bought from our showroom

Throughout our showroom here at Holloways, we have a selection of these gorgeous Elemental artistic vases and lamps on display for you to choose from. Inspired by the differing tones and hues of the mixing and blending in the painting process, each piece is totally individual and unique in colour and texture. A real art-piece to be treasured.

The energy and power of colour in interior design have long been recognised, and our interior designers at Holloways know exactly how to bring a room to life. Big rooms love colour, and this glassware beautifully evokes a play of lustrous, changing colours that can really create a feel-good factor.

Clean and Colourful

Using bold colour can sometimes seem daunting when deciding on furniture for your home. The revolutionary new Aquaclean fabric that we offer comes in a huge spectrum of colours and is a fantastic solution to combining practicality and style. This clever fabric technology allows all kinds of common sofa stains to be simply wiped away with water. Easy maintenance and a minimal amount of time. Also available in velvet, Aquaclean fabrics have revolutionised the way we can now use colour in everyday furniture. (Sofa photographed is not in Aquaclean fabric)

Expressive Scatters

Continue to create a sumptuous and bold statement with scatters and cushions. The Amazilia velvet fabric is ideal for a contemporary touch and comes in a selection of eight eccentric colour-ways. Another favourite is the Ambra Lotus cushion shown above. These lively and luxurious prints feature fabulous florals and expressive colour. Beautiful organic tones which are sure to bring your living room to life!

Pebble cushions in teal, pink and lizard

These bright and bold pebble cushions are another great way to inject some colour into your home. Why not have one of each to really stand out from the crowd? Aside from their vivid colour, they have an extremely soft, velvety finish — double the feel-good factor.  

Colour Cosy

We couldn’t think of a better way to add a bit of edge to a neutral room with the Barcelona furniture. Shown here in Naomi-green, you can choose from a selection of other bright colours, all available in the revolutionary Aquaclean fabric. Green is known for being calming, and its positive psychological qualities make it great for cosying up a large space.

So there you go, not only does embracing fabulous colour cheer up a tired home, but it cheers you up too!
