Colour Trend Predictions 2018- Live With What You Love!
With January blowing away the cobwebs of the old year, all interior designers and furniture retailers https://www.juliettesinteriors.co.uk/ look forward to the trends and styles that will be important in 2018. Today we take a closer look at colour, how it makes us feel, how to use it, and what the experts say our homes should be wearing this year.
Colour has already made a comeback, and is flourishing. So if you are ready to embrace colour in all its glory, now is the time.
Pantone : Ultra Violet
Pantone have chosen Ultra Violet as one of their colours of the year for 2018. Described as ‘a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple’, it is synonymous with music icons such as Jimi Hendrix, Prince and David Bowie, and comes after a year that saw unicorns and mermaids dominating the fashion world. It is often associated with mindfulness, suggesting a refuge from today’s over-stimulated world. It is certainly a vibrant colour that can take you in so many directions.

Combine with classical, traditional design to create an elegant or even palatial feel. Or dress a contemporary interior space in ultra violet for an unexpectedly bold example of self expression. Use it as a quirky highlight or style an entire room around it. Despite its vibrancy, this is a colour that harmonises beautifully with many other more subtle shades.
Millenial Pink
Some say it is being edged out by peach. Others say that millennial pink is still on top. It’s really a matter of personal taste. Whichever one you choose, be sure to refresh peach or pink from any pale, muted 2017 incarnation by teaming with deeper shades; plum and berries with millennial pink or earthy terracotta and cocoa with peach.

Monochrome
This is where expert opinions really diverge. Some say that black and white has had its day and it’s time for a resurgence of colour. Others say that the stark contrast of black and white, used in sophisticated, geometric designs, is trending this year. Has monochrome ever went away, and will it always have a place in modern interior design? It can work beautifully with splashes of colour, rather than against it, although this needs careful planning and handling.

Another option is to soften the contrast by using deep blue and a warmer ivory (but perhaps not going as far as cream – this is still a cool colourway after all). I certainly don’t think we should turn our backs on classic black and white. We might perhaps need to re-think how we use it in fresh and inventive ways.
Live With What You Love
Trends simply give us ideas of what other people say is up and coming. Being in the luxury furniture business it is our job to be current, so of course we do look at modern colour and design trends, but we never feel pressured into following trends that don’t reflect our clients personality, style or taste. With guidance, we advise our customers to choose pieces and styles they love and want to live with. It's their home and they need to love everything that’s in it.
