Interior trends for 2010/11 are influenced by the concept of a sustainable future - the crucial need for co-existance between nature and technology.  This is refelcted in the colour palettes of urban concrete and formal darks meeting natures mid-tones and bright shades.

Neutral tones continue to dominate for interiors. White and grey tones once again appear in the new colour palette, with muted grey greens and soft grey blues adding interest. Warmth is added to the palette with shades of brown, which vary from tan through to rich chocolate.  Opulent shades of aubergine and sienna create a rich contrast against neutral shades.

Overseas trends indicate a move back to old values, with a need to be surrounded by old fashioned comforts. The “homemade” look is predicted to be one biggest upcoming trends, in a move away from the sometimes cold minimalist look. This look is more about an appreciation for one of a kind items and the beauty in their imperfections.  Craft techniques are re-interpreted using new technologies.

Our colour range of 720 colours encompasses all of the latest trends and more, phone 0800 733 030 to be connected with your local store.
