This summer, liven up your space with some bright, vibrant, ultra-trendy shades.
Opt for brights when it comes to decorative objects, furniture or even the walls. Roche Bobois, Karim Rashid and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac for Fermod have all signed their collections off with vibrant shades this season.
Try out the trend yourself with hyper-colourful decorative pieces or bright pop art-style walls. Experiment with unlikely combinations like springtime shades with soft pastel hues. In short, you have to be daring. So be bold and paint those walls a bright shade of orange. Got an old dresser? Buy a few cans of paint and decorate your out-dated pieces with colourful stripes.
If you’re a little less adventurous, opt for small accents in shades like lime green, violet and electric blue. There’s no need to redecorate your older furniture completely. Just a few simple touches of colour here and there will suffice. So you don’t have to empty out your wallet and you’re sure not to end up with an eye sore of a room. Everything in moderation!
